Competition: What am I? I am an Australian marsupial, not usually hopping slowly. When I

I am a very dull creature, Really lazy and really slow. Judging from "Ice Age", I've been around since long ago. I am often seen hanging upside down from a tree, And I have very sharp claws, so don't mess with me! What am I?

I sometimes make squeaks or clicks, And I swim in the ocean. I can be blue or grey, And I'm a mammal in motion. What am I?

Which animal do you think makes the best pet? Have you got one at home? Why? WHy not?

Who could resist a dog?Are you thinking of getting a pet? Maybe you’re wondering what kind of animal would be best for you? Well, there’s only one pet worth keeping, in my opinion –and that’s a dog. Why? I’ll tell you.Just imagine how much safer you would feel with a dog. It can easily be trained to guard the house. This means that you can go out at night and feel secure. Burglars won’t go near a house if they hear a dog barking.What about the friendship a dog can offer you? Many people love having a dog for company. Dogs are so intelligent that they seem to understand their owners. Because of this, lots of people treat their dogs like members of the family.Have I convinced you that a dog makes an ideal pet yet? Let me just add one more reason. You’ll need to go to the park to exercise your dog. While you’re there, you’ll meet other dog owners and make lots of new friends. Get a dog and your life could change in ways you’ve never dreamed of.

ANECDOTE: TALK ABOUT A PET what kind of animal is it? Who is its owner? What’s its name? How old is it? What does it look like? What sort of personality does it have? Where does it sleep? What does it eat? Does it need much exercise? Can it do any tricks?
