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.
Bizim küçük bir köpeğimiz de var. Köpeğin adı Ozzy. Ozzy'yi çok seviyorum. O çok hızlı. Köpekle sık sık oynarım. Bir top atarım ve Ozzy topun arkasından hızlı koşar.
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.
