Raw Text (Chinese / Pinyin / English)
Chinese

你的这只大黑狗毛真漂亮,而且这么聪明,每次见了都想抱一抱它。 狗是很聪明的动物,只要稍微花点儿时间教教它,它就能学会很多东西。 听你这么一说,我现在也想养一只狗了。每次你让它干什么,它就像能听懂你的话一样去做。你教它是不是用了什么特别的方法? 要让它完成一些任务,只教一次是不够的,应该耐心地一遍一遍地教给它,使它熟悉,然后它就会严格按照你的要求做了。 看来没有想的那么容易。 狗是我们的好朋友,它能听懂人的话,明白人的心情。在你心里难受的时候,它会一直陪着你。

English

Your big black dog's fur is really beautiful, and it's so smart. Every time I see it, I want to give it a hug. A dog is a very intelligent animal; as long as you spend a little time teaching it, it can learn many things. Hearing you say that, I now also want to get a dog. Every time you tell it to do something, it does it as if it can understand what you say. Did you use some special method to teach it? To have it complete some tasks, teaching it only once is not enough; you should patiently teach it again and again to make it familiar, then it will do exactly as you require. It seems it's not as easy as we thought. A dog is our good friend; it can understand what people say and people's feelings. When you feel upset, it will always stay with you.
