September 2

, 2010.

Today I went shopping with

Rebecca! We are crazy about

shopping! We love buying new

clothes.

Then we went to the zoo because

we are both fond of animals. I

love dolphins. I enjoy watching

them swim and jump! Rebecca

likes monkeys very much. She

thinks they are funny! I don’t like

them very much. In my opinion,

they are a little silly.

Rebecca and I don’t like insects

and spiders at all. In fact, we

can’t stand them!

I know that my neighbour John

doesn’t mind having a spider on

his hand. Actually, scaring girls

with spiders is his favourite hobby!

He is also into video games and

sports. His favourite sport is

football. I hate that sport! To me, it

is the most stupid sport! I don’t

really like playing football with him:

he never passes me the ball!
