6th grade. Unit 1. Lesson 10. Culture corner: a nation of animal lovers.

 ðŸ‘‰Challenge: read the article and express your viewpoint on keeping a pet as a hobby

 ðŸ‘‰Must use: personal pronouns he / she / it when we talk about pets

Read the article and say if the British people are good pet keepers. Why? 
A nation of animal lovers 

Do you have a pet? The British people love their pets very much and do everything to make their life more enjoyable.
As you walk in Britain, you can see a lot of smiling cats. Well, British cats have every reason to smile. British pet owners spend around 3.5 billion pounds a year on pet care and products. Owners can even clean their pets’ teeth and buy special pet contact lenses. It is legal to use organ transplants to treat serious pet illnesses such as kidney failure. There are a number of pet accessories available to pets and their owners. Special flashing collars for walking at night, water-resistant dog jackets, car ramps for old or overweight dogs. 
There is even a special pet hotel in Newcastle-upon-Tyne that offers cats and dogs an opportunity to exercise in the indoor gym, relax in the Jacuzzi or watch videos of their owners on personal TV and video sets. There are a number of organisations that protect animals in Britain, but the most important is the RSPCA – the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.


It is possible to use the personal pronouns he / she when we talk about pets. You can use them when you treat your pet as your family member: 
I have got a pet. She is a dog. Her name is Maggie. I have got a dog. His name is Blade.
