You are going to read the text and answer the following questions.

  1. What does the word admit mean?
  2. According to the text, why do cats meow?
  3. What was special about Laika the dog?
  4. Which animal has the best memory?

Now read the text and answer the questions.

Fun pet facts
Think you are an expert when it comes to pets? Let’s see if you knew this:

  • There are nearly 100 million dogs and cats in the United States, and pet lovers spend about $35 billion on their furry friends each year.
  • People with pets live longer, have less stress and fewer health problems.
  • 94% of pet owners say their pets make them smile more than once a day.
  • In Australia, England and the US, Max is the most popular name for dogs. Other popular dog names in the US are Jake, Buddy, Maggie, Molly and Bear.
  • 95% of cat owners admit they talk to their cats.
  • A cat will almost never meow at another cat. Cats only meow to get our attention.
  • A dog named Laika became the world’s first astronaut in 1957, when Russia sent her into space.
  • Cats have better memories than dogs. A dog’s memory lasts no more than five minutes, but a cat’s memory can last up to 16 hours!
  • Dogs can hear better than human beings. In fact, they hear so well they probably use their ears more than their eyes.

Step 3 - Vocabulary

To be able to do all the assignments correctly, you need to know some words and sentences.
For each theme there are word lists ready in Wozzol, with which you can practice:

 Vocabularylist My pet

  • Study the vocabulary. (10 minutes)
