Many people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are very  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   pets. Some people, however, keep birds or goldfish. They need less space and are easier to look after.　　

 If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}    but you must be careful not to buy a sick animal. It is best if you know something about the pet you want. This helps you choose a healthy pet. However, if you do not have much money and know very {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  about animals, you can visit the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(皇家防止虐待动物协会).

 The first RSPCA was established in England in 1821. It was set up to make sure that all animals are {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  with kindness. The RSPCA in Hong Kong carries out this aim. The RSPCA officers collect animals which have no {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   and are left in the street. They look after them {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  they are healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may choose their pets from these animals and you can be sure that you will get a  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}    pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  it to the doctors at the RSPCA for treatment.

 When you have a pet, it is very {#blank#}9{#/blank#}   that you look after it properly. You must remember to feed it on time. You should also give it a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  and comfortable place to rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love it and care for it properly.

    This summer, my family and my aunt's family went to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in Canada. We spent most of the time hiking(徒步).

    One day, we hiked to a popular hiking way in Canada. Everything is beautiful. My cousin and I saw lots of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}animals like squirrels(松鼠) and chipmunks(花栗鼠). Surprisingly we saw a chipmunk with dirty hands. His hands were {#blank#}3{#/blank#}of berry juice! My cousin and I named it Jairo. We {#blank#}4{#/blank#}that Jairo was a very clever chipmunk. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#}us the whole time. My cousin said, "Do you want to shake {#blank#}6{#/blank#}with him?" So I held out my hand. I could {#blank#}7{#/blank#}believe it when he touched my hand! It was the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}time in my life I had touched a wild animal. I did it! What an {#blank#}9{#/blank#}moment!

    At that moment, I believed that animals could be friends. People and animals should live together {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    A few weeks ago, I visited Sydney, a perfect place to surf (冲浪). I knew I couldn't {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the city without going surfing myself. I booked a group surf lesson when I was in Byron Bay. Byron Bay is a really {#blank#}2{#/blank#} place for professional surfers to go!

    We first were asked to learn how to read the sea conditions and what to expect in the water. Then we did a warm-up by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} along the beach. Next, it was time to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} how to stand on the surfboard. We did it on the sand. After a lot of practice, we were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to go out into the sea and try it out on the water. I have to say, surfing is much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} than it looks. When you watch people from the beach, they make it look so easy! I failed many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to stand up. Then one of the coaches came to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me and held my board steady (平稳的).

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I learned how to do that and by the end of the lesson I had managed to "walk on water". It was a pretty amazing feeling and I felt so proud of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}!
