小乌龟 Tortoises
We have got two new family members. They are two tortoises. I like them very much.
They're very lovely. We give them a big house—a beautiful tank. They can swim in it every day. We put some beautiful rocks and some seaweed inside. They can play on the rocks and sleep beside the water plants.
I think they will enjoy staying in their new house.

小作者用简洁生动的语言描写了一对快乐生活的小乌龟，它们时而游泳，时而玩耍，时而休息，读来充满童趣。更可贵的是，小作者不是把两只乌龟当成宠物，而是把它们当作自己的新家庭成员隆重地介绍给大家。从一件事——对它们新家精心的布置入手，显示出自己热爱大自然、关心动物的美好情怀，让人不禁感叹，人与自然和谐地相处是一幅多么美好的画面。

我的小雪球 My Little Snow
Little Snow is my pet. It is very lovely. I always feed it by myself. Vegetables and fruits are its favourite food. I also bring it to the garden once a week for jogging and fresh air. It likes running and sleeping under the sun. But it fears strangers！It has a pure white coat and a pair of red eyes. Now, do you know what it is? Yes, it's a little rabbit.
点评
本文小作者没有开门见山地表明自己宠物的身份，而是通过描述，抽丝剥茧似的把自己宠物的特征一一展现在读者面前，可爱、喜欢吃蔬菜和水果、喜欢奔跑和睡觉、害怕陌生人、穿着白衣服长着红眼睛，最终得出谜底，小雪球原来是一只可爱的小白兔。本文描写精致，语言精练，富有童趣。

小狗 My Puppy
I have a one-year-old dog. It is called "No-No". Last year, my father gave it to me as my birthday gift.
No-No is small and lovely. It has a pair of black eyes and a pair of dropping ears. Also, it is fluffy and its hair is white and soft. When you touch it, you will feel it very smooth. No-No is not quiet. It is very playful and lively. It likes playing with a ball very much. It always runs around me when I play ball games.
I like No-No because it is more intelligent than other dogs. It knows a lot of tricks. For example, it can sit, beg and roll over. In addition，if you put it in a new place，it can find the way back home easily.
No-No is like my sincere friend. While I am unhappy, I will talk with it and it always listens to me. No-No is really my good friend.

本文小作者对自己宠物的描写没有仅仅局限在外貌、所吃的食物等表面现象上，而是通过对小狗的喜好、本领的细致而具体的描述，向读者展现了与他朝夕相处的活生生的小狗。尤其是最后一句可谓点睛之笔，当小作者不开心时，都会对它倾诉，而且小狗也总是静静地听着。不仅表现出了小狗的乖巧和惹人怜爱，更向我们展示了小作者热爱动物，把动物作为自己真挚朋友的思想感情，值得叫好。
