Hi Helen,

Sorry I haven’t written (not write) for ages. I  (be) very busy. We  (have got) a new pet – an African Grey Parrot called Jim. I  (attach) a picture of him. He  (live) with us for about six weeks. He  (be) three years old and he’s very intelligent. We  (try) to teach him to talk at the moment. He  (understand) a lot of words and he can say some things. When the doorbell rings, he  (say) ‘Go away! We’re not in!’ It’s really funny. He  (not say) my name yet – I think it’s quite difficult to pronounce. He really  (like) playing with toys. He  (play) with a ball right now.
