Reading

Mr and Mrs Hubbard are very embarrassed by their dog, Rex. He’s a very obnoxious dog. He’s noisy, he’s stubborn, he’s lazy and he’s mean. He’s also very ugly.

Mr and Mrs Hubbard’s friends and neighbours always complain about Rex. They say he’s the most obnoxious dog they know. According to them, he’s the noisiest, the most stubborn, the laziest, and the meanest dog in the neighbourhood. They also think he’s the ugliest.

Mr and Mrs  Hubbard agree. They think Rex is a horrible dog, and they’re ashamed to say he’s theirs.
