Stacey loves horses. She also likes dogs, but she can’t have a dog
because she’s out at work all day. It’s important to think carefully
before you buy a pet. Different pets are good for different people.

1 Read. Complete the table.

Horses are beautiful animals.
They live for 25–30 years.
They need a stable and a
place outside too. Horses
need a lot of exercise and
a lot of your time. They are
expensive and they need
regular attention from a vet.
Some people are allergic to
horses.
Dogs are very popular pets.
They love company – you
can’t leave them alone all
day. They usually live for
15− 20 years. They can live in
a house or a flat, but they
need exercise outside every
day. They need regular
attention from a vet. Some
people are allergic to dogs.
Canaries are very pretty birds.
They’re easy to look after, they
don’t need a lot of exercise
and they don’t need a lot of
your time. They need a cage,
but they aren’t expensive.
They live for about 10 years.
They sometimes need attention
from a vet. They don’t usually
cause allergies.

There are lots of bad bacteria, but there are also good bacteria! We use good bacteria (and other
micro-organisms, like yeast in bread) to make different kinds of food or to add flavour. This process is
called fermentation. We use it to make yoghurt and cheese from milk, or vinegar from wine. We also
use it on coffee beans and cocoa beans to make the coffee and chocolate taste better.
