Lesson 22

1. Warming up activities

1. For me, pets are a cat, a dog, a snake, mice, guinea pigs, parrots and other animals that live in the house itself or just next to a person. These are animals domesticated by humans. A person takes care of them, feeds them, gives them water and, most importantly, loves them. These are the kind of animals that create their own atmosphere in the house, thanks to them, it is more pleasant for many lonely people to return home knowing that someone is waiting for them there.

2. I believe that both in our country and around the world the most popular pets are a cat and a dog. They can be found in almost every home. They are loved because they are understanding animals, they feel everything. In the UK, dogs live in houses more often, they guard houses and provide protection to that family, or they are the property of a particular house, show beauty and wealth.

3. Pets are a reflection of their owners, they are like a mirror, they absorb the attitude of the owner and behave the same way both to the owner and to the surrounding people entering that house. If the owner is able to offend his dog, hit her, then the dog will behave aggressively, showing his anger.

4. I believe that the preservation of animal life is a human responsibility. In animals, you can see everything, your behavior, peace and tranquility. They help to distract from all problems, to forget all adversities. An animal can do nothing against a person, it can only be with him at those moments when all people turn away from a person.

5. Extention activities

1. I believe that the saying "pets should not be kept at home" is not entirely true. Pets create comfort in the house, they protect us and give us the missing love. Not all people keep animals at home, but there are reasons for this: allergies, intolerance to animals. I also don't have pets at home, because I don't really like them, if there was an animal, it would be a snake or a monkey.

2. Although I don't have any animals at home, but my grandmother has a cat. His name is Tikhon. One of his habits is to eat everything he sees, he can eat cheese, chocolate, ice cream and other food that cats usually don't eat. Also, every night he sleeps with me, and when I'm not there, then on the stove. He loves water, which is unusual for cats. And most importantly, he does not respond when his name is "Tisha", runs to you only when you call him by his full name with surname and patronymic.
