Part A1

Hello.Today I'd like to tell you something about goldfish.

Goldfish can live a long time if you take good care of them.You should make sure the water is clean,and don't put them in the sun.Also,don't pick them up with your hands.

Goldfish eat special fish food every day.Sometimes they eat vegetables too.You needn't feed them often—once a day is enough.

Goldfish are usually small,but they can grow up to be 20 centimetres long and can weigh up to 400 grams.Most goldfish are orange,but they can also be black,white or green.

Goldfish are nice pets because they're quiet and easy to look after,and they're not expensive.
