- The pictures are relevant to our project because in both of them there are people spending time with their pets. In one photo, there is a boy hugging his dog. They are looking at the water on the bank of the river. The dog is big, a German Shepherd, I suppose. In the other photo, there is an old man holding his cat. The cat is white and fluffy. The old man loves his cat a lot.
- Of course, keeping these pets has disadvantages too. For example, dogs need to go out every day in any weather conditions. Dogs also must be professionally trained. That costs money. As for cats, a lot of people are allergic to their fur.
- So, I’d like you to have a look at the pictures when you have time and tell me if we can use them in our project. Bye-bye.
- As for me, I’d prefer to have a cat as a pet. I like the way they walk, eat, purr, behave in general. I like that I won’t have to go out with my pet every day. I’m a busy person for that. That's why I would like to have a cat as a pet.
- There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. In one photo, we can see a young boy whereas in the other photo, there is an old man. Another difference is that the boy and the dog are outside, near the river I suppose, while the man and his cat are inside a flat or a house.
- Hi, Kate. How are you? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project “Man's best friends”. Let me tell you a bit more about them.
- In my opinion, keeping a cat and a dog as a pet has some advantages. For instance, dogs are very understanding animals. They understand their owner’s feelings. Dogs are also very good pets for active people because they need to be walked with. Cats don’t need to go out. That’s why they are good pets for old people or for people who don’t have much free time.
