Hi Coco!

Nice descriptive sentences again. Yes, they are sitting in a garden or back yard.

In your 3rd sentence we should say They each have a black nose. That's it. :)

Well done.

Thank you Fang! They are very cute dogs.

This family has 4 Golden Retrievers, white or light yellow colors. Very nice. A nice sentence to introduce the photo. They do have long and clean hair. They do look like their owner bathes them often.

In your third sentence we must say The owner has to spend a... Remember - he/she has, they/we have, I/you have.... They look like they are very happy sunbathing! Do you like to sunbathe? They are waiting for their owner to feed them. Golden Retrievers are always hungry! They just want more food all the time.

Very well done. You're welcome Fang!

Teacher !  Thanks for your correction :)

Teacher !  I can dot understant on my second sentence. They do have long and clean hair. They do like their owner bathes them often. Why they have "do" in these sentence.

I don't like sunbathing. I don't want my skill become black color .. hehe

How about you teacher ?

Have a nice Sundy evening :)

You're welcome!

When I used They do have... I was agreeing with your sentence. I wasn't correcting you at this point. The sentence that you wrote is correct! I'll try to be clearer in my corrections next time. :)

I like to lie in the sun - but just for a little bit. I don't like getting burnt! I don't mind getting a nice tan though. Enjoy your Sunday too Fang!

Hi Vero! Just remember that we learn from our mistakes, If you stop making them you might stop learning!

In your second sentence we should say In the back (of the photo) or At the back (of the garden). We would usually say - some plants growing. Your 3rd sentence contains a lot of information. 

There are four adult dogs, golden retrievers, in the yard. One dog is lying down... and it has... look alike...

probably triplets. One dog who sits...

The dogs look very relaxed. I think dogs that are pets have an easy life. Eat, sleep and play. We should say stick out their tongue. I like to imagine these dogs are meditating. They are probably dreaming of food!

The pack look adorable, healthy, well groomed and happy. I really like this sentence. It's a perfect sentence to describe this picture.

Your writing is impressive Vero. You have a real understanding of the advanced vocabulary that you use and your sentences are structured extremely well. Great job!

I think I can see Dixie in this pic! :) So lovely dogs, I wish I can hug them.

1) Maybe two white dogs having the same direction looking are twins, they look very similar.

2) :D I guess Dixie is the girl looking far away and she was thinking about something interesting deep in soul.

3) Four lovely dogs and the green grass cover had a contract that the green grass is smooth for them enjoying comfortably and in turn they are like beautiful flowers embellishing for the grass.

4) The dog lying on the ground and looking at the camera was curiously wondering that: "What is he doing?"

5) They were confidently taking sunbath without sunscreen because they have hairy fur protecting them.

:) Can you correct them for me?

Hi Blue! This isn't actually a photo of Dixie, but they are very similar!

In your first sentence we should say - Maybe the two white dogs looking in the same direction are twins... They do have very similar features. The shapes of their jaws are almost exactly the same. Your second sentence is lovely. ..deep in her soul. I think they were all just dreaming of food. :)

I like the idea of a contract between the dogs and the grass! ...them to enjoy in comfort and in turn they are like beautiful flowers embellishing the grass... Awesome sentence! 

Your fourth sentence is funny. Why is that man pointing something at us? Can we eat it?

Do you know the only part of a dog that gets sunburnt? The nose!

Great writing again Blue. I enjoyed reading all your sentences. Well done. :)

Thanks teacher,

Is Dixie your dog?

Why do you think they always think about food. Maybe they think how to make their owners feel happy :) haha! Don't get them wrong! :D

Yes, their noses don't have any things to protect. However their noses are dark so it can't get darker. :))
