Ja sam Anna. Imam deset godina. Živim sa svojom obitelji u kući. Kuća ima vrt. U vrtu je veliko stablo. Sviđa mi se to stablo.
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.
Imamo i malog psa. Pas se zove Ozzy. Jako volim Ozzyja. On je vrlo brz. Često se igram s psom. Bacim loptu, a Ozzy brzo trči za njom.
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.
Često mi vrati loptu. Ponekad je ne vrati. Onda trčim po vrtu i tražim loptu. Ozzy također traži loptu. Nađemo je, a Ozzy zalaje.
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.
On je pametan pas. Ponekad Ozzy nađe loptu brže nego ja. Onda zalaje. Tada znam: lopta je ondje. Trčim do Ozzyja i vidim loptu. Tako se često igramo zajedno.
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.
Imam i brata. Zove se Mats. Moj brat ima četrnaest godina. On je četiri godine stariji od mene. On je moj stariji brat. Mats se također ponekad igra s Ozzyjem.
