Hi, Peter 

1. Your sentences about animals are good. But look at his one: 

>Snakes lives longer than a cat. 

What do you mean: "a snake lives longer than a cat" or "snakes live longer than a cat"? 

2. I've got a dog. Her ("he" or "she", "her" name or "his" name?) name's Rex and he's one years ("one year", "two years"!) old. Her (His?) hair is  braun (brown!). He (He has got = He's got!) got a beautiful long tail and cute small ears. He sleeps in her (his?) little house. He eats dog food and likes mit (meat?) very much. He can jump very high. 

Give my love to Rex. By the way: a small house for a dog is a kennel. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
And now your next assignment: 

1. Are we animals? How different are we from other animals? 

-Read the text on page 62 in your books. 
-You can find some words on page 94 in your workbooks. 
-Now listen to the cassette (items 1 and 2) and learn to pronounce the words. 
-Listen to the cassette again and point to the part of body you hear. (item 3) 
-Go to the news group alt.kids-talk and write a new article: say something about how different people are from animals and ask the others if they agree. If there is an article on this already, reply to it and write your opinion. Follow the discussion. 

I think that people use their brains better than other animals. On the other hand we kill for fun even when we are not hungry. Horrible, isn't it? 

2. People have got short noses and small mouths. 
"Short" and "small" are adjectives. Where does an adjective go? Right - in front of a noun (pred samostalnik postavimo pridevnik). 

-Try exercise 1 on page 77 in your workbooks. 
-Can you make sentences from the words in exercise 2, page 63, in your books. Write them, please, and send them to me. 

3. Have/has got (nekdo nekaj ima). "Have" - for which persons? I, you, we they! And "has"? He, she, it! 

-Spot the differences in exercise 4 on page 63 in your books. 

4. Do you like puzzles? There's one on page 63 - exercise 3 in your books. 

This is my way of solving it: 
So here are four cats. 
 

1.	2.	3.	4.
Pussy hasn't	got long legs.
not Pussy	can be Pussy	can be Pussy	can be Pussy
Marmaduke	and Tom have	got short tails.
not Pussy	can be Pussy	can be Pussy	can be Pussy
can be Tom	can be Tom	not Tom	not Tom
can be Marmaduke	can be Marmaduke	not Marmaduke	not Marmaduke
The cat with a	short body isn't	Tiddles.
not Pussy	can be Pussy	can be Pussy	can be Pussy
can be Tom	can be Tom	not Tom	not Tom
can be Marmaduke	can be Marmaduke	not Marmaduke	not Marmaduke
can be Tiddles	can be Tiddles	not Tiddles	can be Tiddles
Tom isn't	standing next	to Pussy.

Number 1 is Tom, Number 2 is Marmaduke, number 3 is Pussy and number 4 is Tiddles. 

Have a nice time, 

Romana Ivacic
