Oral practice in pairs

The dog is man's best friend. He can do many things for us. He can protect our homes.He can guide the blind. He is loyal to his master and never asks for a pay raise.　　 The dog has also made many contributions to English. For example, if there were nodogs, how could a husband tell his wife her cooking tastes like dog food? How could theweatherman say, "It's raining cats and dogs?" So the next time a dog lifts a leg to yourbicycle, don't kick him. Bend down and say, "Take your time."

Reading comprehension

Of all the animals of the Chinese horoscope, the dog really stands out. Which other animal can compare to the dog? The horse? No, he's always horsing around. The monkey? No,he's always monkeying around.　 The dog is a loyal companion. He makes us feel safe. He helps us keep thieves out of our homes. The dog has also helped us with our English. For example, if there were no dogs, how could people complain about leading a dog's life? And how could the weatherman say, "it's raining cats and dogs?"The dog is truly man's best friend. So the next time a dog lifts a leg to your car,don't get angry. Just let it obey the call of nature.
