   Categorise the sentences of the passage into the correct columns.

   When I was a child, I had two pet hamsters. The female was golden and white, while the male one was brown and white. I had named them Star and Buck respectively. Although I had got them together, the two could not have been more different from each other. Buck was the active one. He would spend all night climbing or running on the hamster wheel. Star was the complete opposite. She would sleep in all day and wake up only to eat in the night. After eating the food, she would lazily move around the cage for a bit, dig herself a cozy space, and slowly sink into another nap.
