7º A - JOANA M.'S PET - MIA

I have got a female cat and her name is Mia. She is black and white, and she has beautiful green eyes. She is a small one-year-old kitten. She likes playing with balls. When I throw a ball across the room, she runs and gets it. Often, she brings it back to me and we play "fetch". She likes running and jumping. This behaviour mimics hunting and is important in helping kittens learn to stalk and capture prey. However, Mia does not need to worry about preys and food because she is a domestic cat. She is fat because she eats a lot. She loves eating Whiskas. It´s her favourite food. I love her.

7ºA - CATARINA R. 'S PET - TOBIAS

My pet's name is Tobias. He is a male Persian and he’s very cute. Persian cats are longhaired, they have a round face and shortened muzzle. They came from Persia, the former name of Iran. Tobias is two years old and he has got a long and fluffy tail. He has got small, orange eyes and a flat nose. He likes to play with small toys and to sleep in my brother’s bed. He is a lovely cat! But he needs regular grooming to prevent matting. To keep his fur in condition, he is bathed regularly, dried carefully afterwards, and he should be brushed thoroughly every day...

THE ENGLISH TEACHER'S NEIGHBOUR - LOBA

Dear all, this is a sad story. Loba, a lovely back and white Pekingese, has been my neighbour for some years. Loba was particularly funny and nice, because her mistress used to tie her hair with a bow on top of her head, and because her name did not match with the harmless dog she was. Last Sunday my eldest daughter was in the front yard of our house when a man shouted «Oh, damned!». Then she heard a dog whining and bones being smashed. Loba died immediately under the wheels of a car that was driving slowly. The reason why I am telling you this story is because I want to teach you a lesson: be aware that this might happen to your dog if you take him for a walk in a street without a LEASH. Never trust your dog. Never boast he is obedient. Never think he is clever enough to escape a car accident. Learn this lesson – TAKE YOUR DOG FOR A WALK ON LEASH!!! SAVE HIS LIFE.
