 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!
