Je suis Anna. J'ai dix ans. J'habite avec ma famille dans une maison. La maison a un jardin. Dans le jardin, il y a un grand arbre. J'aime l'arbre.
I'm Anna. I'm ten years old. I live with my family in a house. The house has a garden. In the garden there is a big tree. I like the tree.
Nous avons aussi un petit chien. Le chien s'appelle Ozzy. J'aime beaucoup Ozzy. Il est très rapide. Je joue souvent avec le chien. Je lance une balle, et Ozzy court vite derrière.
We also have a small dog. The dog's name is Ozzy. I like Ozzy very much. He is very fast. I often play with the dog. I throw a ball, and Ozzy runs after it quickly.
Il me rapporte souvent la balle. Parfois, il ne la rapporte pas. Alors je cours dans le jardin et je cherche la balle. Ozzy cherche aussi la balle. Nous la trouvons, et Ozzy aboie.
He often brings the ball back to me. Sometimes he doesn't bring it back. Then I run through the garden and look for the ball. Ozzy looks for the ball too. We find it, and Ozzy barks.
C'est un chien intelligent. Parfois, Ozzy trouve la balle plus vite que moi. Alors il aboie. Alors je sais : la balle est là. Je cours vers Ozzy et je vois la balle. C'est comme ça que nous jouons souvent ensemble.
He is a clever dog. Sometimes Ozzy finds the ball faster than I do. Then he barks. Then I know: the ball is there. I run to Ozzy and see the ball. That is how we often play together.
J'ai aussi un frère. Il s'appelle Mats. Mon frère a quatorze ans. Il a quatre ans de plus que moi. C'est mon grand frère. Mats joue aussi parfois avec Ozzy.
I also have a brother. His name is Mats. My brother is fourteen years old. He is four years older than I am. He is my big brother. Mats sometimes plays with Ozzy too.
