Example :

    We have three family pets : a dog, a cat, and a tortoise.

    The dog's name is Bob. He is big golden Labrador. He has big brown eyes and along tail. He is very friendly dog, but he sometimes a little stupid. Dogs are expensive to keep but they are fun to play with.

    Our cat is name Cuni. She is quite young, but she is not itten. She is very pretty. She has black and white fur and green eyes. She's smart, too and very clean.

    The tortoise's name is Roky. He has short, fat legs, along neck, and a very hard shell. He also very old and slow. He's ugly and dirty, but I like him.
