UNIT 15

ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MY PETS

My name is Linda Jackson. I am twenty years old. I am a medical student at Oxford University. I am from England.

My native village is called Jimpley Stroke. It is in the Avon Valley, ten miles away from Bath. The countryside is really beautiful there. There are vast green lands and green hills covered in beautiful wild flowers.

My family is not very large. We are five: my parents, my elder brother Robert, my younger sister Ann and myself. My parents come from quite large families (my mother is one of six children and my father is one of four), so my brother, my sister and myself have many aunts, uncles and cousins.

My father is a farmer. My elder brother is a veterinarian; he helps father with the animals. There is a horse, a cow, two pigs and four sheep on our farm.

Ann, my younger sister, is a schoolgirl. She is eight. She helps mother about the house and in the garden. She is a lover of outdoor life. There are some apple trees and a lot of flowers in our garden. Ann is interested in farming and wants to study agriculture at University. We are great pet lovers. We have three dogs, two cats and a parrot. We are fond of them all. We are a very happy family.

A. PETS

Many people have pets (domestic animals that live with people). The most common are dogs, cats, birds, fish, mice and rabbits. Some people have more exotic animals like frogs, snakes, turtles, lizards, etc.

I have got a pet dog. His name is Max. He is two years old. He is black and white. His ears are long but his tail is short. He is very clever and friendly. I like to walk with my dog in the evening. We often play with him. He is very funny! I love my dog and, I think, he loves me too.

B. ELEPHANTS

Elephants are big wild animals. They live in the jungle. An elephant has got large ears, a trunk and two tusks under its trunk. Elephant's trunks are very heavy. The elephant's teeth are its tusks.

Elephants have got families of 6 to 12 members. They are very clever animals.

C. PENGUINS

There are seventeen different kinds of penguins in the world. Some live near the Antarctic, others live on some islands near South America, Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand. They all belong to the bird family. They can swim very well, but they can't fly.

The Galapagos penguin is very small. It is about 45 cm tall, and weight about 2.5 kg. Its body is black and white with black wings or flippers. On its black head there is a thin white line. Its beak is black, pink and yellow. The penguin's legs are very short.

There are now only about 1,000 pairs of Galapagos penguins in the world.
