Sample answer
about 125 words · 1 minuteI want to talk about my pet dog named Max. Max is a small brown dog with big dark eyes and fluffy ears. He is three years old and he is very friendly. Every morning, Max wakes me up by barking softly and wagging his tail. I give him his food and fresh water before going to school. In the afternoon, after finishing my homework, I take Max for a long walk in the neighborhood. He loves running on the green grass and playing fetch with a yellow ball. Max is very smart and he knows how to sit and shake hands. Having Max in my life brings me so much joy. He is not just a pet, he is a true friend to me.
