 Composition - My Pet Dog / Cat


Skills: 

1. Brainstorming
2. Vocabulary (choice of words)
3. Organisation
4. Writing Speed


    I have a pet dog. His name is Jake. Jake is a beautiful dog. He is small and white. Jake has small brown ears and a brown tail. 

    I enjoy playing with Jake. Sometimes, I play with him in the yard. Jake loves when I throw the ball at him. I know he is happy because he runs and wags his tail. 

    Jake's favourite thing to eat is dog chow. He also enjoys rice and chicken. Sometimes, he even has ice-cream. My mother calls him greedy. 

    When I am older, I hope to spend time training him to help him behave a little better. Sometimes he bites and this is not good. Even so, Jake is a sweet dog and my favourite pet!

However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...

A tourist must stay at least 24 hours but for less than one year. There are different types of tourists. First, a domestic tourist is a person who spends at least one night away from their normal home but still within their own country. Some people call this a ‘staycation’.  Then, there are regional tourists. This is a tourist who travels within a certain region. For example, a Barbadian visiting Jamaica.  Suppose you really wanted to visit New York and see the Statue of Liberty. Then you would be an international tourist. An international tourist is someone who travels across international borders.
