Монолог "Питомцы"

Task 3. You are going to give a talk about pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and will speak for not more than 2 minutes.

Remember to say:

• why people keep pets;
• what pets are most popular in big cities;
• whether having pets is a big responsibility, and why.

You have to talk continuously.

A lot of people keep pets at home. Some people keep them for fun, others as friends. There are people who keep exotic animals for status.

The reasons of keeping animals are different. Pets can be good companions for old and lonely people. Some animals, such as dogs, can guard the home. Rich people like exotic pets to show their social position.

In big cities people usually keep small animals. Most popular are dogs and cats. Also, people often have birds, hamsters and guinea pigs.

But keeping pets at home is a big responsibility. You must feed them every day, take them to the vet and care about them. Some people don’t understand it and abandon them.

I think if you are responsible and care about your pet it will become a good friend for you. Animals are always thankful.
