IELTS Speaking Part 1: Animals and pets (животные), вопросы и примеры ответов

Do you like animals?

Do you have a pet?

What is the most popular pet in your country?

Did you have any pets when you were a child?

Would you like to have a pet in the future?

Have you ever been to a zoo?

Do you have a pet?

Yes, we've got a cat called Mosh. My sister found him in the street as a tiny kitten about four years ago, and now he basically runs the house. He sleeps on whichever bed he chooses and expects breakfast at six sharp.

What is the most popular pet in your country?

Cats, I'd say, especially in cities, because most people live in flats and cats don't need to be walked. In villages it's different: lots of families keep a dog to guard the house, and many have chickens or a cow, though those are more livestock than pets.

Did you have any pets when you were a child?

We had a parrot for a few years. He could say three words in Uzbek and one in Russian, and he used to imitate our doorbell, which drove my mother crazy.

Would you like to have a pet in the future?

I'd love a dog one day, but only when I have a house with a garden. Keeping a big dog in a small flat doesn't seem fair to the animal.
