Sample answer
about 143 words · 1 minuteMy favourite book to read is a simple story about a friendly dog who goes on fun adventures. I got this book as a gift from my teacher last year, and I have read it many times. The story is set in a small village where the dog helps people every day. I really like the main character because he is very smart and kind to everyone. The pictures in the book are bright and colourful, which makes reading it very fun. Whenever I have some free time in the afternoon, I sit near the window with this book. Reading it always makes me feel happy and relaxed after a long day. I think it is a wonderful story for anyone who loves animals. I hope to find more books like this one in the future because reading brings me so much joy.
