Unit 3. It's time for me! - номер 2, страница 24.

Условие.

2. Here is a funny poem “My Dog Is Not Like Other Dogs” by Kenn Nesbit*.

1) Read the words from the poem and guess why the dog is not like other dogs.

to care = to want

to bark — лаять

to howl [haʊl] — выть, завывать

to beep — подавать сигнал

to chime — бить, отбивать (о часах)

a strong suspicion [sə'spɪʃn] — сильное подозрение

might [maɪt] — мог бы

to smother with licking — облизывать

to annoy [ə'nɔɪ] — раздражать

2) Read the poem and check your guesses.

My dog is not like other dogs.

He doesn't care to walk,

He doesn't bark, he doesn't howl

He goes “Tick, tock. Tick, tock.”

He beeps each day at half past nine

At noon he starts to chime

I have a strong suspicion

That my dog can tell the time.

Another dog might run and play,

Or smother me with licking,

But my dog just annoys me

With his beeping and his ticking.

Should you decide to buy a dog,

Consider my remarks:

When looking for a “watchdog”,

Get yourself the kind that barks.

«Собаку __________»

Для дома приобретая,

Убедитесь, пожалуйста, в том,

Что она хотя бы лает!

4) This is what Jack Morton thinks about the author and his dog. Do you agree with him or not? Label the pictures.

“The author has not got a real watchdog like a cocker spaniel. He has got a WATCH dog, or a “clocker spaniel”.
