7. My Favorite Animals
Read about Sam’s favorite animals. Pay attention to what he likes and dislikes about each animal.
My Favorite Animals
I like all kinds of animals, whether they come from the jungle or the desert. I like big cats like tigers and cheetahs, because they are fast and strong. I also like elephants because of their size. They’re huge! But dogs are my favorite. They are always loyal. Our family has a pet dog, and his name is Albert. He’s really old. He eats quickly but walks slowly. I guess the only animals I don’t like are spiders, because they’re scary and gross.
