Lovely is the name of my pet. It is a female lovebird. I was clueless when I wanted to name it so I

It has a rainbow of yellow, green, and blue on its body, and a bright peachy-pink face.
I love lovely because it is very active. It always chirps anytime, especially in the morning. It sings
melodiously. It is also a smart bird. It produces a wide range of articulations, including the imitation to the
human voice, though it never talks.
I put lovely in a cage. During the day, I usually hang it outside the house so it can enjoy the warmth
of the sun. I love to sit on the veranda listening to music from my phone while enjoying it chirp.

software. Hardware is all the parts you can see and touch-like the monitor (screen), keyboard and
mouse. Software is all the sets of instructions-programs-that tell the computer how to process
information to accomplish different tasks. A computer is very important for human life. Lots of
students now use computers for homework and project researches. Most school records and
information about students are now stored on computers. Apart from being able to store a much
