STEP 3: Practice Speaking
Instructions:
Listen to each sentence and repeat out loud with your voice until you can say it quickly.
I wanted a dog for my birthday, but my parents did not want one.
They said dogs were high maintenance.
I think they are so cute.
They are the best animals in the world.
They are loyal and good protectors.
I like big dogs.
Big dogs protect people better than small dogs.
My dad said he had a dog when he was a child.
He said it was the worst dog in the world.
It never listened and tried to run away many times.
I told my dad that dogs need proper training.
My dad suggested that we get a fish. I didn't want a fish. They are boring.
I think dogs are better pets than fish.
My mom agreed with my dad.
She said that fish are less maintenance than big dogs.
I told them I would help take care of a dog.
They said they wanted to get a pet that is the least amount of work.
Every time I talked to them, I felt worse than before.
I stopped asking for a dog.
Then, one day I came home from school and there was a puppy in our living room.
He had a big bow on his head.
My parents surprised me with a puppy on my birthday.
I asked if he could sleep on my bed. He is so cuddly.
I have the best parents in the world.
