Keeping dogsThere 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
neighbours 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
dog‟s suffer? Dogs can make a lonely person‟s life happy or make wonderful playmat E. 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 pleasur E. 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.
We can infer from the text that keeping pet dogs in the city will not cause any problem as
long as …. *
its presence does not disturb the neighbourhood

2.Faster Planes and Cheaper FlightsFaster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than
ever before for people to travel. In the most „developed‟ societies, visiting exotic places is a
sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing
countries have recognized this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.There are,
however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing
crime rate. Some local‟s tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar
territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of
wealth, such as cameras and jewelery which can be disposed of quickly for profit.Another
major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious
diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before
their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist
antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.Also to be
considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many
visitors. Australia‟s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by
tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.These
are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an
extensive tourism development program.One carrier returning home could easily start an
epidemic before their illness was diagnosed.” (Paragraph 3) The word “diagnosed” means ….

5. Dear EditorWe are writing to complain about ads on TV. There are so many ads, especially
during our favourite programmes. We think they should be stopped for a number of
reasons.First, ads are nuisance. They go on for a long time and there are so many. Sometimes
there seems to be more ads than programmes.Second, ads are bad influence on people. They
try to encourage people to buy unhealthy food like beer, soft drink, candy and chips. And
they make people want things they do not really need and can not.Finally, the people who
make ads have too much say in what programmes people watch. That is because they want to
put all their ads on popular programs that a lot of people watch. Some programmes which are
not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads, even though those
programmes may be someone‟s favourite.For those reasons, we think TV station should stop
showing ads. They interrupt programmes. They are bad influences on people, and they are
sometimes put a stop to people‟s favourite shows. We are sick of ads, and now we mostly
watch other channels.David. Who is the letter addressed to? *
