My name’s Jack and I live with my mum and dad and my younger sister, Daisy. She’s five. Last week, we moved to a new house. Dad said, “It’s got a great garden.” Daisy was very excited. But I didn’t want to go because my best friend lived in the old house next to ours.

Catch something different

I love fishing at the lake near my house. I often go fishing with my dad. I can catch a lot of fish and often take them home for my mum. She can make many kinds of good food, such as fish soup or fried fish. But last Saturday, I didn’t catch any fish. I went home in a bad mood and put my fish bag on the table in the kitchen. Suddenly, the bag started to move. “What’s in my bag, Mum?” I asked. “Let’s see!” said Mum. She opened it carefully and there came a turtle. “Wow! So cute.” I said when I saw it. Then I asked my mum to keep it in a big box. I love it very much and feed it water, plants and worms every day.

Hi, I am Bob. This is my favourite room. In this room, I can read books and play toys when I have free time. There is a desk at the corner where I often do homework after dinner.

My parents say that our family should watch TV together in the living room before going to bed so that every day we have a little time together after a busy day.
