Hi, everybody
-I'm glad you all wrote about your pets and sent your essays to the
distribution list.
You were really good there. Congratulations. :-)
-Do not forget you can contact me every Tuesday from 7 to 8 pm - Conference. I'm looking forward to hearing you.

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.

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,
