Part 2: Read The Blog. Read the entry in Jessica’s blog and then answer the questions.
August 21, 2007
Hello friends! This is my first blog entry for August! I have been very busy. I haven‟t had
much time to write on my blog.
This month, I was a volunteer at an animal shelter for two weeks. I
love animals, so I had a lot of fun! I helped the veterinarian to take
care of the strays. I also helped to clean the animals‟ cages. There was a
very sweet dog there. I fell in love with him! I hope I can adopt him!
I want to share my animal photos with you. Please click on the
picture on the left to see my online album. You can record your ideas on
my online journal. Please give me details so I can be a better
photographer!
The cute dog at the shelter Last week, I bought a video camera. I want to make a video to put on
my blog. I want to go back to the animal shelter and film the cute strays. So check my blog
again later!
