Which ideas come to your mind with the words “character and appearance”?
Look at the pictures and answer the questions:

Have you got a pet?
Do you like dogs?
Do you think that a pet looks like its owner?
Do they have the same character?

Match the phrases with the pictures:

curly hair - both bold
long blond hair - charming smiles
soft brown eyes - quiet and a bit shy
nervous and energetic - thin faces

II. While reading tasks :

1. Read the texts and find out answers to the following questions that ask you which paragraph contains a certain detail ( write down A, B, C) :

1) Which text tells that the owner and the dog are similar in character and appearance?
2 ) Which text has the word “ confident” in it ?
3) Which text tells where the owner and the dog like to go for a walk?
4) Which text tells how the owner and the dog like to spend winter evenings?
5) Which text tells that the owner and the dog go to work together?

2. Read and match three of the photos (1 - 8) with the texts ( A - C).

Do you look like your dog?

People always say that my dog looks like me. And it`s true! We`re both similar in character and he looks exactly like me – or I look like him! We1re both quiet and a bit shy and we usually like relaxing at home or going for long walks. We don`t like noisy places. In winter, I love reading in the evening and he usually sleeps next to me. We`ve both got long, brown, curly hair and soft brown eyes. But he`s got a cold nose and long ears – and I haven`t!
She always says she doesn`t look like the dog – but those photos! They`ve both got the same long, white hair and thin faces and they want something, they both look at me in the same way! They`re similar in character too. They`re both very nervous and energetic – they never sit down for more than ten minutes! They always want to be out in the garden or the park. My wife doesn`t take the dog for a walk – the dog takes her!
This is me and my dog, Winston. In this photo, I look exactly like him. We`ve both got the same eyes and noses, but my eyes are blue and his are dark brown. We`re not very good-looking and we`re both bald! We don`t look very friendly in this photo but we`re both really easy-going. Winston often goes to work with me - he doesn`t like staying at home alone. We`re both good at making new friends, too. But we are different in one way… he`s very confident and I`m not!

III. After reading tasks :

Tell how dogs and their owners are alike and how they are different. Write the letter “G” if this information is only about the owner and the letter ”B” if this information refers only to the dog. Write both letters ( GB) if information is true about both.
