I. Read the text Therapy animals

Animal assisted therapy is a type of treatment offered to certain patients to help them feel better.
Therapy animals are particularly useful for people who have been involved in accidents or had
illnesses and need extra support as they recover at home. They are also used to treat people suffering
from conditions such as autism. The main thing these animals provide is comfort and friendship, to
help people feel relaxed and calm. Dogs, cats, horses, pigs and even reptiles are all trained as
therapy animals, sometimes visiting people in hospitals and others going to live with people at
home. Therapy animals do not need a lot of training. They need to know basic commands and must
interact well with humans. In fact, anyone with a pet can volunteer to offer animal assisted therapy.
So if you are kind and caring and your pet is too, this could be an opportunity to do something good
for other people.

1. For whom are therapy animals particularly useful?

I. Read the text Animals save lives too! Hearing dogs

When we think of dogs helping people with disabilities, we usually think of guide dogs for the blind,
but just as important are hearing dogs for deaf people. There are obvious dangers for people who
can't hear such as not noticing alarms, but there are many other ways that hearing dogs help their
human companions. Alarm clocks, door bells and mobile phone notifications can all easily be
missed by deaf people living or spending time alone. Hearing dogs are very highly trained. It takes
up to two years to prepare a puppy for work, and many of the dogs chosen for the job do not go on
to become hearing dogs. They just don't have the right skills and personality. When the right dog is
matched to the right person though, the relationship between the dog and owner can be very strong.
Answer the questions:
1. For whom are guide dogs particularly important?

2. What are obvious dangers for people who can't hear?
3. What can easily be missed by deaf people living alone?

miss, repeat, beat, point, keep, drop e.g.If she keeps running that fast, she could break a world

right.
2.The fans didn't expect their best player to _________ the goal so they were very disappointed.
3.When the runner fell down on the track, it was the _______ of no return for her – there was no
way she could win.
4.I've taken up running in order to _________ in shape.
5.The young boxer hopes to ________ the champion and take the big prize.
III. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs in brackets. Use the Past
Simple, Past Continuous or Past Perfect. E.g. It was raining (rain) on the day the Olympic
