My kids at school LOVE this story! They'd love to listen to a native speaker, this is super exciting to them! Thanks a lot!
A: Hello. I’m Sherlock. My people are the Elliots – Jack, Anna, Irina, Luke and Jamie. I love everyone in the family, but Luke is my pet.
B: Luke and I have got a nice new room in the loft. Every morning I get up and wash Luke’s face. Then he gets up and washes his face again. After that he makes my breakfast. Then he has his own breakfast.
C: Jack usually goes to work early. Then at twenty past eight Luke, Irina and Jamie go to school. I always help with Luke’s schoolbag. At quarter to nine Anna says goodbye too. But she only works in the mornings.
D: My job in the mornings is to look after the house for the family. I sometimes see cats in my garden. That’s rude – it isn’t their garden! So I always bark. Then they’re scared and they run away.
E: On Saturdays I take Luke to dog school. I like school! We have lots of fun and Luke learns lots of tricks. One trick is: I listen for the word “Sit!” But I run around and chase my tail. Then the teacher always says, “You’ve got a lot to learn!” Yes, Luke has got a lot to learn.
F: On Sundays I sometimes take my people to Greenwich Park. It’s great fun: I always see other dogs with their pets. My people like picnics. I like picnics too because there’s no table. Sometimes Jamie puts his drink next to me and it falls over. Silly boy!
G: In the evenings my people often sit on the sofa and watch TV. Then we play a game. I watch TV too, and they throw shoes at me. I take the shoes into my room. I like shoes!
H: At 9 o’clock I take Luke to our room in the loft. He’s a good pet so he can sleep in my bed. I usually fall asleep right away. After my busy day I’m dog-tired.
