Speaking exercise

Jojo is my favorite pet, she is  two years old but she can talk and cook. First I tell she to cook some egg fried rice.  She can write A B C and she says ” Wooooooooow, I’m soooooo hungry” and she was bigger, she grows and she can make ice cream. She has a best friend, the best friend is a boy. The boy called Zhizhi, because  Zhizhi everyday was shouting Zhi zhi zhi zhi zhi zhi and the little penguin Jojo was shouting jo jo jo jo jo jo jo, so that’s why I called them Zhizhi and Jojo. They are very smart and they two can read books. Their’s favorite book How to make a cheese and fish pie, and fish pizza. They make everything together, they are so happy, that’s why they’re best friends.
