Its favourite food is bone (骨头). Every day when Alan gets home, the dog meets him in front of the house Alans friend, Jenny, is an American girl. She is in Shanghai, too. They are in the same grade, but in different classes. She has a pet panda. It's also black and white, but it's not a real (真正) panda. It's a toy. The panda is very tidy. Jenny often washes it.
On Sunday, Alan and Jenny go to the park together (一起) with their parents. The park is not far (远), so they go there by bus. It takes them about ten minutes to get there. There are many people in the park. There are men and women, the old and the young. There is a big lake in the middle of the park. Some children are swimming, and some are rowing boats with their parents. Alan and Jenny go boating, too. They have a good time there. How happy they are!
