My Favorite Animal - The Giant Panda
My favorite animal is the panda.The panda is black and white. It has a big, round body and a short tail. Pandas are really cute and friendly. They seem to be always calm. It can climb trees. And it eats a lot of bamboo every day. I like it because it looks so adorable. When I see pictures of pandas, I feel very happy.
Sample 1:
There are many kinds of animals. My favorite animals are the golden monkeys.
They come from Shaanxi, China. The golden monkey is one of Qin Ling’s symbols. As you can see, they are golden and they have round mouths. They are cute and beautiful. I think they are also very clever and friendly. They are very good at climbing trees. As for food, they like eating leaves and fruits. They live in the forests.
Now, the golden monkeys are in great danger. People cut down trees, so they are losing their homes. People also kill them for their fur. Let’s save the golden monkeys.
