Many pets are abandoned, so it is essential to think carefully before you get one.
Firstly, think about your time. Pets need attention and love. If you don’t spend enough time with them, they feel lonely. For example, dogs need lots of care and playtime. If you want to get a dog, make sure you have time to walk and play with them.
Secondly, consider how much space you have. Pets need room to move and play.
Thirdly, think about your lifestyle. If you like staying home, an active dog might not be the best choice. You should choose a pet that fits how you live.

I’m here to tell you about my adventures through Year Four.
First, I wanted to tell you about the student council, which is a group of students who try to make the school a better place. I had a lot of ups and downs, but it turned out to be a wonderful place.
Next, I would like to tell you that I’ve been lonely and alone many times. I want to tell you the difference between those two words.
Alone is a choice but loneliness is not a choice; it’s something you feel.

Statistics show that Americans watch more television than any other country in the world.
My parents can watch television for several hours a day. They usually watch Korean and Japanese dramas and the news. I watch television only when I am free. Sadly, I don’t have much free time.
My mum says if I want to watch television, I must complete my homework first.
I enjoy watching documentaries with my family on Saturday nights because I can gain knowledge.
I love watching my favourite shows to relax.
