Eu sunt Anna. Am zece ani. Locuiesc cu familia mea într-o casă. Casa are o grădină. În grădină este un copac mare. Îmi place copacul.
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.
Avem și un câine mic. Câinele se numește Ozzy. Îmi place mult Ozzy. El este foarte rapid. Mă joc des cu câinele. Arunc o minge, iar Ozzy aleargă repede după ea.
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.
El îmi aduce des mingea înapoi. Uneori nu o aduce înapoi. Atunci alerg prin grădină și caut mingea. Ozzy caută și el mingea. O găsim, iar Ozzy latră.
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.
El este un câine isteț. Uneori Ozzy găsește mingea mai repede decât mine. Atunci latră. Atunci știu: mingea este acolo. Alerg la Ozzy și văd mingea. Așa ne jucăm des împreună.
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.
Am și un frate. El se numește Mats. Fratele meu are paisprezece ani. El este cu patru ani mai mare decât mine. El este fratele meu mai mare. Mats se joacă uneori și el cu 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.
