英文小作文:
My favorite animal is the sheep, and I often dream of living on a farm with a herd of them. When I hear their gentle bleats, I feel a sense of peace and tranquility that is hard to describe. They are such docile and innocent creatures, and I find their simple existence soothing. I also love how they are often depicted as representing innocence and simplicity in folklore and literature. However, I must admit that their bleats can be quite irritating when they are all around me at once! Nevertheless, I still find them to be one of the most charming animals in the world.
