I. The British are traditionally well-known for being animal lovers. Most British households keep some kind of pet. The most popular pets are dogs and cats; there are over 7 million dogs in the UK, which make them the top British pet. Famously, the Queen, Elizabeth II, has her own pet dogs, who often accompany her on her travels. Other popular pets which are easy to keep in the home are rabbits, hamsters, mice, tropical fish, budgerigars and small turtles. However, some people keep more unusual pets like snakes, spiders, chameleons and other types of reptiles and insects! Households with gardens or an area of land can keep larger animals like ponies, donkeys or horses.
Teacher asks questions:
1. What are the most popular pets in the UK?
2. What pet does the Queen, Elizabeth II, has?
3. What are the other famous pets in Great Britain?
4. What are the unusual pets people have at home?

Of course, looking after pets properly is a very important aspect of keeping a pet. Just like human beings, animals have their rights and there are organisations to help protect animals from abuse and cruelty, for example the RSPCA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). The RSPCA was founded in 1824 and has worked since to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals. Battersea Dogs' Home is another famous organisation that has been protecting abandoned and mistreated dogs in its London home since 1871.
Teacher asks questions:
1. What organisations help animals?
2. What does the RSPCA do?
3. What does Battersea Dogs’ Home do?
Students answer the questions
Teacher presents part 3:
key words (slide4) (Students listen to part3, looking at key words.)
Many parts of the UK are farming areas and farmyards are a traditional aspect of British culture. Cows, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens and geese are all common domestic farmyard animals. Nevertheless, eighty percent of people in the UK live in cities with a population of over 10,000 and consequently some children only see animals rarely. Nowadays, however, there are farmyards that are open to the public, where families from the cities can take their children to see the animals and learn about farms. These farms have often been created to promote organic food and to promote the protection and well-being of animals.
Teacher asks questions:
1. What animals can you see in farmyards?
2. How many people live in cities?
3. Can children in cities see domestic animals often?
4. What are these farms created to?
Students answer the questions

Visiting wildlife parks is also very popular with both children and adults.They are different to zoos. Zoos usually keep the animals in more confined spaces or cages. Although the animals are well looked after, their environment is not as natural as that offered by the larger open spaces of the wildlife park. You can often drive through wildlife parks in your vehicle and see the animals, as if you were on safari! You mustn't get out of the vehicle or open the window, of course, as some animals, like lions, are very dangerous!
Teacher asks questions:
1. Where do people keep animals in zoos?
2. Are their environment natural?
3. What can you often drive through wildlife parks in?
4. Can you get out of the vehicle? Why?
Students answer the questions.
III. Practice
Now look at the papers. What do you see here?
Now take the envelopes. You have 10 characteristics here: 5 for wildlife park and 5 for zoos. In pairs arrange them in two groups, please and then we’ll check it in a few minutes.
