Section B: Information Transfer


Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.
Keeping A Pet
Having a good relationship with a pet is an important part of a pet owner’s life. Our relationship
with our furry friends greatly influences our lives. We don’t just keep pets, we build a friendship.
Children and adults must love their pets and spend time with them. Our furry friends cannot
speak, so we have to understand, provide and care for them. Pet owners need to be responsible. Our
pets need to be seen as friends, not cruel masters!
When people get lonely, they rely on their pets for companionship. Disabled individuals and
people with special needs may have trained dogs to help them. Many people rely on their family dogs to
alert them of danger. Therapy dogs are used in some hospitals to cheer up disabled children, lonely
senior citizens and those who are undergoing long periods of medical treatment.
Pets need social contact. A dog is a pack animal. It is social by nature. We cannot treat a pet like
an object with no feelings. Cats are not as social as dogs but they need companionship too and enjoy
playing with other cats. They also need to play with their owners to build a good relationship.
How many people find a puppy cute and enjoy playing with it, only to ignore it when it is fully
grown? The key to having a happy, healthy pet is to be a responsible pet owner. If you don’t love and
care for your pet, you should not get one.

and/or a number from the text for each answer.
