to take. Evaluate a job offer for the value it has to your

a job that is right for you. You may have to work late

Text 3 , questions 10-12
There are many reasons for keeping dogs as pets in
the city area, but many people feel that keeping pet
dogs should not be allowed in the city. Dogs are often
not taken care properly. They are kept in small
backyards and rarely taken for walks. They are left in
the yard all day by themselves while the family is at
work. Very little attention is given to the dog and it is
not a very good life for it. It is no wonder why these
dogs bark and disturb the neighbors and become a
nuisance to the community.
On the other hand, not all people treat their
dogs this way and why should the people receive a lot
of pleasure and enjoyment from dogs’ suffer? Dogs
can make a lonely person's life happy or make
wonderful playmate. It can also teach a child
responsibility as they not only get to lay with the dog,
but also need to exercise, feed, and care for the dog.
I feel that we should be allowed to keep dogs
in the city, because if it is taken care of properly, dogs
can be a great source of pleasure. As a child I used to
enjoy playing and taking care of my pet. There is not
greater loyalty a person can get than from a well-cared
dog.

Text 4, questions 13-18
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were going abroad for
their holiday. They had a dog called Blackie, which
they were very fond of. Unfortunately, they could not
take him abroad with them, so they looked for a good
place to leave him while they were away, and at last
found a good place which looked after dogs very well
while the owners were away. They took Blackie there
just before they left for their holiday, and sadly said
goodbye to him.
At the end of their holiday, they got back to
England very late at night, and as they thought that the
place where Blackie was staying might be close at that
late hour, they decided to wait until the next morning
before going to get him.
So the next morning Mr. Brown got into his
car and drove off happily to collect Blackie. When he
reached home with the dog, he said to his wife, “Do
you know dear, I don’t think Blackie can have enjoyed
his stay at that place very much. He barked all the way
home in the car as if he wanted to tell me something.”
Mrs. Brown looked at the dog carefully and
then answered. “You are quite right, dear. He was
trying to tell you something. But he wasn’t trying to
tell you that he hadn’t enjoyed his stay at that place.
