Imagine that you and your friend are doing a school project "A family pet". You have found some illustrations and want to share the news. Leave a voice message to your friend. In 2.5 minutes be ready to:
— explain the choice of the illustrations for the project by briefly describing them and noting the differences;
— mention the advantages (1–2) of the two types of pets;
— mention the disadvantages (1–2) of the two types of pets;
— express your opinion on the subject of the project — which type of pets you preferred to have when you were a child and why?
You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
Hey, Kate. You know what? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project "A family pet". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
They are relevant to our project because in both pictures there are people spending time with their pets. In the first photo there is a little girl hugging her puppy. In the second photo there is a little girl as well looking at fish in the aquarium. There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, these pets are completely different, in the first picture there is a dog while in the second picture there is fish as family pets.
In my opinion, keeping a dog and a fish as a pet has some advantages. For instance, having a dog is similar to being in a friendship with a person. The dog will help somebody out and will treat as it's best friend. While fish can’t play or interact with its owner, people can just watch them. Of course, keeping these pets has disadvantages too. For example, a dog will expect a lot of care given to it from a person. As for a fish, it is only a home pet and people can’t walk or travel with it.
As for me, I can say that I’m a typical dog person. I like the way they play with people. I think that dogs are really devoted. That's why I preferred to have a dog as a pet when I was a child.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
