’
m sorry. Miss, but dogs aren

t allowed in this theater.
Mary:
But I have a ticket for him.

ready, the husband put the cat out. The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of their home,
the cat ran back into the house. Not wanting their car to have free run of the house while they were
out, the husband went back upstairs to chase the cat out. The wife, not waiting it known that the
house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver,
“
He
’
s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my
mother.

Task 3: A Sudden Change in the Parrot
’
s Attitude
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even
worse
vocabulary.
Every
word
out
of
this
bird
’
s
mouth
was
rude.
John
tried
every
method
to
change the
bird’s
attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, and anything he
could think of to set a good example. Nothing worked. Finally, John got fed up and he yelled at
the parrot. And the bird
yelled back. John shook the parrot, and the bird got angrier and ruder.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, John put the bird in the refrigerator freezer. For a few minutes,
John
heard
the
bird
scream
and
kick. Then
suddenly
there
was
silence.
Not
a
sound
for
over
a
minute.
Fearing
that
he
’
s
hurt
the
bird, John
quickly
opened
the
door
to
the
freezer.
The parrot
calmly
stepped
out
and
said,
“
I
believe
I
may
have
offended
you
with
my
rude
language
and
actions. I am truly sorry, and I will do everything I can to correct my poor behavior.
”
John was greatly surprised at the bird
’
s change of attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what
had caused such a sudden change in his behavior, the bird continued,
“
May Ii ask why you put the
chickens there and what they did wrong?
”

. Speaking Out
Model 1 The dog will be company for her.
John:
Se-Jin,
come shopping with me
. I
’
m buying a present for my mother.
Se-Jin:
What are you getting her
?
John:
I
’
ve got just the perfect idea
. A dog.
Se-Jin:
A dog
? Would she like that?
John:
She
’
ll love it
. My dad works long hours each day, and I think with me away at school, she
is a bit lonely. And I
’
ll just get a small one, a Pekinese.
Se-Jin:
Good idea
!
The dog will be company for her
.
Now Your Turn
A
: Hi, come shopping with me. I want to buy a gift for my neighbor.
B
: What for?
A
: His wife died a couple of weeks ago, and he is feeling lonely. He
’
s been kind to us. I want to
buy something to cheer him up.
B
: What do you want to get for him?
A
: I
’
m thinking of buying a bunch of flowers for him.
B
: But I
’
ve got a perfect idea. A dog.
A
: A dog? Why?
B
: He
’
ll be crazy about it. He
’
s so lonely; he needs company rather than beautiful flowers.
A
: Good thinking! The dog can keep him company.
Model 2 Where to walk dogs?
Bob:
There
’
s some talk of a businessman building a dog park
in Shanghai.
Laura:
Really, what on earth for
?
Bob:
Apparently
there is a law against having dogs on the streets
.
Laura:
Does it mean that the dogs have to stay inside apartments at all times
?
Bob:
It sounds pretty cruel, doesn
’
t it
? Maybe the park is a good idea.
Laura:
Maybe they should just allow people to walk their dogs
on the streets.
Bob:
But in many large cities where dogs can be walked,
the streets are a mess
. I heard Paris is
the worst.
Laura:
Couldn
’
t people just clean up after their dogs
?
Bob:
Would they
?
Now Your Turn
A
: Have you heard the city has passes a law against walking dogs in the streets?
B
: Sure, it
’
s published in the newspapers.
A
: It means that dogs have to be kept inside all the time.
B
: It
’
s rather cruel, isn
’
t it? We shouldn
’
t be so cruel to dumb animals.
A
: But dogs often leave a mess from their dogs.
B
: But owners can clean up the mess from their dogs.
A
: Would they?
B
: Perhaps the best solution is to build a dog park. Then people can walk their dogs there.
A: Sounds too good to be realistic. The city is already too crowed without the dogs.
