Question
Describe your favourite animal.
Sample answer
My favourite animal is cow and it is much more beneficial than other animals. It gives us milk which is a nutritious protein supply for us. It provides us meat and the leather equipments are made from its skin. In some countries, the cow is used for plowing the land and for faming purposes. The teeth and bones of this animal are sometimes used to make comb, buttons and other useful things. In some areas, the dung is used as fertilizer and to burn fires.
The cow is a four footed animal and its skin is thick. Grass is its main food and they are mostly domestic animals. I like this animal mostly because of its closeness to human and its usefulness for us. In my childhood we had 5-6 cows at our home and they were very friendly. They had been very helpful for us. I like it as it is very gentle and sober animal. I also enjoy when I see a cow is ruminating and giving milk to her calf.
