VIII   Read the text and write whether the sentences are true or false.

My pet’s an insect

It sounds strange to many of us, but if you are Japanese this might be true. In most of Asia, insects are often thought to make good pets. In Western cultures, people do keep insects as pets, but this is often to do with a school project. For example, school children are often asked to catch caterpillars, and put them in a jar with some cabbage leaves, so they can observe them until they change into beautiful butterflies.

The main problem with having an insect as a pet is that they are hard to relate to. You can talk to a dog, a cat, a parrot or even a hamster, and perhaps even get them to do some tricks that you can teach them, but being friends with insects is just impossible. Nor can you cuddle or stroke them. On the one hand they are very fragile: you could easily kill or damage them if you handle them at all. And, on the other hand, touching an insect can be dangerous. Many of them can bite or sting you and in this way inject poison into your body, leading to illness or even death. This doesn’t always put people off. There are people who keep poisonous tarantula spiders, although it is extremely dangerous and in some places illegal.

With all these problems, it might seem surprising that insect pets are popular anywhere. But there can be benefits to keeping an insect as a pet. Some insects make beautiful sounds. Singing crickets are popular in Asian countries, and not just for their voice. They are used like guard dogs. If a burglar enters the house at night, the cricket stops singing and this wakes the family up.

1.      Give three reasons why being friends with insects is just impossible.

·         They are hard to relate to.

·         You can’t cuddle or stroke them.

·         Touching an insect can be dangerous.

2.      What are the advantages of keeping insects as pets?

They make beautiful sounds and some of them can be used as guard dogs.

3.      Why do children often catch caterpillers?

Children are asked to catch caterpillars for school projects. For example, they can observe them until they change into beautiful butterflies.

The novels of Charles Dickens

Many people believe that Charles Dickens was the greatest English novelist ever. He lived in the nineteenth century and wrote many novels and short stories. Some of these have been made into films and TV series.

His most famous novel is probably Oliver Twist. It is the story of a young orphan who runs away from an orphanage and is tricked into joining a band of thieves in London. Most people know this story even if they haven’t read it, because it was made into a very famous musical and film which has been seen all over the world.

David Copperfield is another very well-known Dickens story. It is based on the author’s own life, and tells the story of a poor boy who had a hard childhood but after many difficulties became a very successful writer.

Great Expectations is another dramatic novel where a poor boy becomes a rich man and leaves his village. But the young Pip does not find success through his own hard work but because a mysterious person gives him money. However, in the end Pip loses his fortune but finds something more important.

Almost all of Dickens’ novels take place during the 19th century, when Dickens lived. They show the terribly difficult lives poor people had at that time. One exception is A Tale of Two Cities which is about the French revolution, which happened in the century before Dickens was born. It tells the story of two men who look exactly the same, one good and one bad. The good man is going to be killed by French revolutionaries but changes places with the other. So the bad man dies and the good one is allowed to live.

VIII   Read the text and answer the questions. 

                                                        My pet’s an insect

It sounds strange to many of us, but if you are Japanese this might be true. In most of Asia, insects are often thought to make good pets. In Western cultures, people do keep insects as pets, but this is often to do with a school project. For example, school children are often asked to catch caterpillars, and put them in a jar with some cabbage leaves, so they can observe them until they change into beautiful butterflies.

The main problem with having an insect as a pet is that they are hard to relate to. You can talk to a dog, a cat, a parrot or even a hamster, and perhaps even get them to do some tricks that you can teach them, but being friends with insects is just impossible. Nor can you cuddle or stroke them. On the one hand they are very fragile: you could easily kill or damage them if you handle them at all. And, on the other hand, touching an insect can be dangerous. Many of them can bite or sting you and in this way inject poison into your body, leading to illness or even death. This doesn’t always put people off. There are people who keep poisonous tarantula spiders, although it is extremely dangerous and in some places illegal.

With all these problems, it might seem surprising that insect pets are popular anywhere. But there can be benefits to keeping an insect as a pet. Some insects make beautiful sounds. Singing crickets are popular in Asian countries, and not just for their voice. They are used like guard dogs. If a burglar enters the house at night, the cricket stops singing and this wakes the family up.

1. Give three reasons why being friends with insects is just impossible.
2. What are the advantages of keeping insects as pets?
3. Why do children often catch caterpillers?              5 p
