While-writing
I like animals very much, such as horses, monkeys, cats, tigers and so on. But I like dogs best. Why? Because they are very cute and nice.
I have a white dog. Its name is Bobo. She is a female dog. She comes from Beijing, China. She has beautiful white fur and she has two big eyes and a small month. She often walks round and round at home. It has nothing to do. She likes eating ice-cream so much. When I eat ice-cream, she will look at the ice-cream carefully. So I will give her some to eat.
I think Bobo is the cutest dog in the world.
