What animals are kept as pets?

  1. Activating students`knowledge.

Have you got a pet? (Would you like to have a pet?) What pet? What is its name? What colour is it? What can your pet do? Do you take care of your pet? What do you do?

  1.  Find the words close in meaning:

Common animals – a hare, a  fox, a deer, a squirrel

Exotic animals – a snake, a tiger, a monkey

An animals` lovers club – an animal care organization

Environmental – about nature

Health problems – illnesses

Inconvenient - uncomfortable

OR    Pets can be common and exotic. Group these pets into two categories.

  1.  Listening.
  1. Now you will listen to some people talking about pets and other animals.  Complete the gaps with the missing words

Speaker A

Lots of people in big cities want to keep pets. I think that a cat or a dog in an open flat is OK but I strongly disapprove of people who want to have a tiger, a monkey or a large snake at home. The unnatural environment does a lot of harm to the animals and it`s very difficult to provide a balanced diet for them. It may be inconvenient or even dangerous to the owner and people around them as wild animals are unpredictable.

Speaker B. Sadly, we seldom, if ever, have an opportunity to see animals in the wild. There used to be lots of hares, foxes, deer and even beavers in my region. My grandfather said when a little boy he regularly saw those animals in a nearby forest. Today`s children are more likely to see an elephant at the Zoo than a hare or a squirrel in the forest.

Speaker  C. My friends and I are fond of animals and it makes us feel worried and sad that lots of animals suffer because of people. We`ve set up an animals` lovers club that helps animals to survive in an open environment. We leave food for birds, find homes for homeless cats and dogs and raise money to provide medical care for animals injured in traffic accidents.

Speaker D. Life in big cities is really stressful and it may cause different illnesses. Some doctors think that common pets we keep at home like dogs, cats can prevent some illnesses. For example, people, who have heart problems usually feel better if there is a dog in the house. It`s partly because of the positive energy the animal gives and partly because regularly walking the dog makes people stronger.

Speaker E.  I think that people should know more about nature and environmental problems. I like watching educational programmes about wildlife on TV but I don`t think there are enough of them. There should be more feature films about animals and there should be more interesting books. If children learn to understand and love nature, they will never poison rivers and cut down forests for money when they grow up.  

Answer the questions:

Which speaker says about exotic animals? (a)  Common animals? (b) Environmental organization? (c) Environmental education? (e)

B) Match  the speakers A-E with the statements 1-6 (one statement is extra). Read the statements (students do not see the text)

1. 

The speaker talks about an animal care organization.

2. 

The speaker believes environmental education is very important.

3. 

The speaker is against keeping exotic animals as pets.

4. 

The speaker explains how to protect exotic animals.

5.

6.

  1. Speaking.

Now have a look at your exam task. Read it.

You are going to give a talk about pets (10-12 sentences). Remember to say:

-why people keep pets

-what pets are most popular in big cities

-whether having pets is a big responsibility and why

Match the English words with their Russian equivalents and put them in 3 columns (согласно пунктам устного высказывания)

 become real friends                                        заботиться

give positive energy               заряжать положительной энергией

prevent some illnesses                             кормить питомца

dangerous and unpredictable                большая ответственность

a big responsibility                               опасные и непредсказуемые

take care of                                            купать питомца

feed your pet                                          стать настоящими друзьями

wash your pet                                         предотвращать болезни

take your pet for a walk                         чувствовать себя несчастным

feel unhappy                                            гулять с питомцем

  1. I made a nice story yesterday but look what my pet has done! Can you help me to restore the story? You will find the pieces to make the first part of the story, you will reconstruct the second part and you – the third one!

A lot of people keep pets nowadays. I think they do it because pets can become real friends. They give positive energy. Some doctors think that common pets we keep at home like dogs, cats can prevent some illnesses. The most popular pets in big cities are cats and dogs. Sometimes people keep hamsters, fish or budgies.  Some  people keep exotic pets like monkeys or tigers or big snakes. Having a pet is a big responsibility because you have to take care of it. It is necessary to feed your pet, wash it, take it for a walk and do millions of things.  Without your care the pet will feel unhappy or even die.

7.Singing a song (Bill Withers “Lovely Day” “The secret life of pets”). Students sing the song and enjoy theirEnglish.

8. Vocabulary (additional task).  Put the word in CAPITAL LETTERS in the right form. Negative Prefixes (объяснить  детям, что в первом абзаце много отрицательных приставок…..)

a) There used to be a lot of __________________ in our region   FOX

b) At the Zoo we saw a lot of elephants, giraffes and _________________                                                                MONKEY
