I’d add a cat. People with this zodiac sign would be confident and smart, good in all subjects at school, and likely to get a good job in the future. However, they’d also be quick to anger. Because cats are lucky in Chinese culture, people born in the Year of the Cat would be considered to be very lucky, too.

I’d choose a lion because they are strong and powerful creatures. People with this Chinese zodiac sign would not be weak or shy. They would be brave like a lion.

Top 10: What do you want to learn or do in 2020?

I’d add a bear to the list.  People born in the Year of the Bear would be instinctively curious, but constantly enjoy snacking and napping.

I think the panda would fit nicely in the Chinese zodiac because it is beloved by Chinese people. These bears are very strong, yet they only eat plants. I think people born in the Year of the Panda would be kind and peaceful.

I’d add a porcupine. People born in the Year of the Porcupine would be very protective of themselves, and would be able to defend themselves when they are being attacked. They’d also be very intelligent and know how to use their strengths to their advantage.

Top 10: What new technology would you like to see this year?

I’d add a wolf to the Chinese zodiac. Wolves are strong and protective of their pack and territory. People with this zodiac sign would value their friends and family, and do whatever it takes to keep them safe.

A unicorn because I love them so much. People born in the Year of the Unicorn would be big dreamers and positive all the time. They’d also be proudly unique and would be sure to shine bright in the world. I wish my Chinese zodiac sign was the unicorn.

I’d add a dolphin. They are very clever mammals and are able to react quickly to any dangers in their environment. I think people born in the Year of the Dolphin would be smart and able to make quick decisions.

Top 10: What are you most grateful for? 

I’d add a dolphin because they are very smart. Some scientists even say that some dolphins have bigger brains than humans. Therefore, people born in the Year of the Dolphin would be quick learners – and probably also talented in water sports.

I’d add a cat. They’re independent and would mostly rather be left alone – but sometimes they just need a little bit of love. I think people born in the Year of the Cat would be just like that too. They’d also be a bit lazy at times.
