Hello, everyone. I’m Jasmine Thomas Gainey. I’m twelve years old and I live in Marin County the US. I’m in Grade 7.

I like cooking food because my grandmother always asks me to cook with her. My grandmother can cook delicious food and I learn a lot from her.

And I love dogs very much. I think they are friendly and cute. There is a dog in my family. His name is Buddy. I often cook food for Buddy. To cook healthy food for my dog, I read books and search for information on the Internet.

I’m interested（感兴趣的）in cooking. I also love dogs and I want them to have healthy food. So I combine my love of cooking and dogs. Now I sell（卖）dog food on the Internet. My family and friends help me a lot. Buddy also helps me. He tests（检验）the food before I sell it. Doing the job is interesting. Lots of people buy my dog food. They tell me their dogs are happy about the food. It’s really great to know this.

With a little help, a great idea and love, I’m happy I can do something big.
