Hello, I’m Edward. I have a pet. It is a fish. I call it “Gali”. I really love Gali. Gali doesn’t like to be with other fish. It will attack them. I put Gali alone in
the aq uarium. It swims happily inside the aquarium. I feed “Gali” with fish food

My Room My favorite place in my house is my bedroom. I painted it pink because
it’s my favorite color. I put pictures of natural scenery on the wall. Near the window is my desk. There is an alarm clock, a dictionary, and
some encyclopedias on the desk. The alarm clock wakes me up in the morning. The dictionary and the encylopedias help me when I study.
My bed is very comfortable. The color of the sheet is pink. The pillows and the bolsters are pink too.
