T: As we know almost every family has a pet. But how should we treat them?

We are in charge of our animals or birds and so we are to create good living conditions for them. I suggest you to make some rules of keeping “Rules of Pet’s Care” and then hang them on the walls of the classroom.
You know there are many homeless dogs in the streets. What can we do to help them? We can appeal to the people not to abandon their animals. Let’s make some leaflets. Choose the proper name. For example: “We are there for our pets”, “Help animals”, “Love yourself – love your pet”.
Discuss these problems in groups. Then everybody should listen attentively to the pupils of every group and be ready to add.
You may use the following words and expressions: to feed, properly, regularly, to buy special food, to take, to the vet, to care, for а walk, to wash and brush, to clean the cage, homeless, to play with а pet.
Ученики работают в группах: одни разрабатывают правила, другие создают листовки.
