The final consonant of a word is often linked to the first vowel of the next word. This is called liaison. Liaison occurs most often with the sound /r/. When a word ending with “r” or “re” goes before a word beginning with a vowel sound, the sound /r/ is usually pronounced as a link. • Listen to the recording and supply the missing words in the following blanks.

  14. PartB_1_2_demo Pre-listening Tasks Listening Tasks Speaking Tasks Language Focus Pair Work 2. What animals or birds do you think are good as pets? I think the best animal we can keep at home is a cat. A cat, especially a white cat, is my favorite. Cats are relatively clean and quiet. They don’t eat much and they are clever. What’s more, the owners don’t have to walk their cats in the early morning when most people are still sleeping in bed. So we often see people walk their dogs in the morning, but never see anyone walk their cats.

As the saying goes, there are always two sides to a coin. The bad thing about keeping a pet is that the owner has to spend a lot of time and sometimes money on the pet. A pet can cause different kinds of trouble, too. As it is an animal after all and you cannot always expect it to understand or keep the rules of human beings. Another bad thing is that, when animals become people’s pets, they lose their freedom.
