My puppy, Chester, wouldn't behave. Every time I came home from school, he was barking behind the door. I banged on the door and shouted, "Stop that noise!" But Chester would not stop barking. He made more and more noise. When I opened the door, he always jumped up and gave me a wet kiss.

我的小狗切斯特不守规矩。 每次我放学回家，他都在门后吠叫。 我砰砰地敲门，喊道:“别吵了!”但是切斯特不停地叫。 他发出越来越大的噪音。 当我打开门时，他总是跳起来给我一个湿吻。

When I played ball outside, I always heard Chester scratching on the gate. He shook the gate and I shouted, "Stop that noise!" But Chester didn't stop. He scratched and barked louder. When I opened the gate, he jumped up and gave me a wet kiss.

当我在外面打球时，我总是听到切斯特在抓门。 他摇了摇门，我喊道:“别吵了!”但切斯特没有停下来。 他又抓又叫，叫得更响了。 当我打开大门时，他跳起来给了我一个湿吻。

In the middle of the night, I heard Chester howling in the kitchen. I banged on the wall and shouted, "Stop that noise!" But Chester didn't stop. He howled louder and louder. When I opened the kitchen door, he jumped up and gave me wet kisses.

半夜，我听到切斯特在厨房里嚎叫。 我猛敲着墙，喊道:“别吵了!”但切斯特没有停下来。 他嚎叫得越来越响。 当我打开厨房门时，他跳起来给了我湿吻。

Chester would not behave. One day when Mum came home from the supermarket, Chester jumped up and Mum dropped everything. There were broken eggs on the floor. Mum said, "Chester can't behave! He needs to go to Dog School! He will learn how to behave there!"

切斯特不守规矩。一天，当妈妈从超市回家时，切斯特跳了起来，妈妈把所有东西都扔了。 地板上有打碎的鸡蛋。 妈妈说:“切斯特不能守规矩!他需要去狗狗学校!他会在那里学会规矩的!”

So, every Saturday, Mum and I took Chester to Dog School in the park. Soon he learned to sit and to stay. Before long he could find and fetch. He learned to lie down and roll over. Mum and I found out some good things, too. We learned to whistle to Chester and to talk quietly to him.

所以，每个星期六，妈妈和我带Chester去公园的狗学校。 不久他就学会了坐着和呆着。 没过多久，他就能找到并拿来了。 他学会了躺下和打滚。 妈妈和我也发现了一些好东西。 我们学会了向切斯特吹口哨，轻声地和他说话。
