I live in this house. That is my dog. His name is Finn. He likes sleeping. He usually sleeps under the tree.I have a lot of friends. I often play football with them. I always call them when i want to play in the park. I never go to park alone. My father works in a bank. He usually comes home late. He likes sitting here and reading books. He sometimes sleeps when he reads. He doesn't like playing football or watching it on TV. My mother is a teacher. She teaches English and she likes her students very much. She cooks delicious food for me. I love her so much but she doesn't let me eat much junk food. Does your mother let you?
