Text 2: A1 Level – "Liam’s Pet Dog"
Hello! My name is Liam, and I have a pet dog. His name is Max. Max is a small, brown dog, and he is three years old. Every morning, I wake up and see Max sleeping on his bed. He is a very sleepy dog! I say good morning to Max, and he wags his tail. My mom is making breakfast now, and Max is waiting near the kitchen. He knows it is time for his breakfast too.
​
Max loves to eat. I feed him every day. He eats his food quickly because he is always hungry! After breakfast, I get ready for school. Max follows me around the house. He likes to stay close to me. When I leave for school, Max sits by the door and watches me go. I wave goodbye to him.
​
While I am at school, Max stays at home. He likes to sleep and play with his toys. My mom says Max is a good dog because he doesn’t make a mess. When I come home from school, Max is always waiting for me at the door. He jumps up and down because he is happy to see me.
​
In the afternoon, I play with Max. We go to the park together. I throw a ball, and Max runs to catch it. He is very fast! Sometimes we meet other dogs at the park, and Max plays with them too. He is friendly and likes to make new friends.
​
In the evening, we go back home. Max is tired after playing, so he lies down on his bed. I do my homework while Max rests. My mom is cooking dinner, and Max is watching her. He hopes to get some food from the table, but my mom says no.
​
After dinner, Max and I sit on the sofa. We watch TV together. Max likes to sit on my lap. He is very soft and warm. At 8 o’clock, it is time for bed. Max goes to his bed, and I go to mine. I say goodnight to Max, and he closes his eyes. He sleeps all night and dreams about running and playing. I love Max very much, and he is my best friend.

Text 3: A1 Level – "Emma’s Garden"
Hello! My name is Emma. I am ten years old, and I have a beautiful garden. My garden is behind my house. It is not very big, but it is full of colorful flowers. Every morning, I go to my garden to see my flowers. The sun is shining, and the birds are singing. I love my garden very much.
​
In my garden, I have roses, tulips, and daisies. The roses are red, the tulips are yellow, and the daisies are white. I water the flowers every day. Right now, I am watering the roses. My mom is helping me. She is planting new flowers. My dad is cutting the grass. Everyone is working in the garden.
​
I have a small bench in my garden. After watering the flowers, I like to sit on the bench. I listen to the birds and look at the flowers. Sometimes, a butterfly comes and lands on a flower. The butterfly is flying around now. It is so beautiful! I feel very happy in my garden.
​
In the afternoon, I play in the garden. I run around and smell the flowers. My mom is picking some flowers to put in a vase. My dad is still working on the grass. He says it needs to be perfect. I help my mom arrange the flowers. We put them in a vase and place it on the kitchen table.
​
In the evening, I go back to my garden. The sun is setting, and the sky is orange. The flowers look very pretty in the evening light. I water them again before going inside. My mom and dad are sitting on the bench, talking and enjoying the garden. I join them for a little while.
​
At night, I think about my garden before I go to sleep. I dream about the flowers and the butterflies. I can’t wait to wake up and see my garden again. My garden makes me very happy, and I love taking care of it every day.
