What pet would you like to have and why? (How would you take care of it? What would you do together?)
I would like to have a dog because dogs are friendly. I would feed it every day and take it for a walk in the park. We could also play football together.
Which animals do you usually see in your town? (Where do you usually see them? What are they doing?)
I usually see cats and dogs in the street. I also see birds in the trees in the morning when they are singing.
Can you describe a time when you visited the zoo? (Who did you go with? What animals did you like most?)
I went to the zoo last summer with my family. I saw lions, elephants and monkeys. My favorite was the monkeys because they were funny and played a lot.
Why do people keep pets at home? (Do you think pets are good for children? Why?)
People keep pets because they make us happy and keep us company. Pets can also teach children responsibility, for example feeding and cleaning them.
What animals do you find scary? (Why are you afraid of them? Have you ever seen them in real life?)
I find snakes scary because they are dangerous and can bite people. I once saw a snake in the countryside and I was very nervous.
Have you ever helped an animal? (What did you do? How did you feel afterwards?)
Yes, once I found a small bird that couldn’t fly. I gave it water and kept it safe until it flew away. I felt very happy because I could help.
Which animals do people eat in your country? (Do you like eating them? Why or why not?)
In my country people often eat chicken, fish and pork. I like chicken because it is tasty, but I don’t like fish very much.
Do you think animals can be friends with people? (Can you give an example? What animals are closest to people?)
Yes, dogs and cats can be very good friends with people. My neighbor has a dog that always waits for him and plays with him every day.
If you could be an animal for one day, which would you be? (Why would you choose that animal? What would you do?)
I would like to be a bird so that I could fly in the sky and see everything from above. I think it would feel very free.
What animals are popular in stories or movies? (Which one do you like best? Why?)
Many animals are popular in stories like lions, rabbits and bears. I like Simba the lion in The Lion King because he is brave and kind.
Have you ever seen animals in another country? (Where did you see them? What was different from animals in your country?)
When I traveled to Thailand I saw elephants walking in the street. It was very different because in my country you only see them in the zoo.
What animal would you like to see in real life? (Why do you want to see it? Where can you see it?)
I want to see a panda because they are very cute and eat bamboo. I could see them in China in special panda parks.
How do people use animals in daily life? (Can you give examples? Do you think it’s good or bad?)
People use cows to get milk and chickens for eggs. Sometimes they use horses to carry things. I think it’s good when people take care of them.
Have you ever watched a film or documentary about animals? (What did you learn? Did you like it?)
Yes, I watched a documentary about dolphins. I learned that dolphins are very smart and can talk to each other with sounds. I liked it a lot.
What is your favorite animal sound? (Why do you like it? Where do you usually hear it?)
My favorite sound is birds singing in the morning because it makes me feel happy and ready for a new day.
Do you think children should learn about animals at school? (Why is it important? How can they learn?)
Yes, because animals are part of nature and children need to know how to protect them. They can learn by reading books, watching films, and visiting farms.
