VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Writing exercise

After I moved my new apartment, I haven’t enough time to look after my cats. Every day ,when I came back home ,I felt so tired and I didn’t want to do anything. Last night, I finished my work and went home earlier than before. When I opened the door, my two cats was sitting down behind the door and waiting for me. Even the cat litter was fluttered down on the floor by them, I still felt very warmly. So I sat down and begin to touch my Mira who is my big cat. She was enjoyed this way with me and make a happily sound by her. I’m luck to have my cats stay with me.
