Scripts Unit 1 Listening Practice 1

Listening Practice 3

Do you want a pet that is special or unusual? Then, why don’t you come around to Uncle Toby’s Pet Shop! We have cute skunks for sale in our store right now. Skunks can be great pets because they are very intelligent. Also, skunks are curious, playful, active, and friendly. That makes them tons of fun to play with. But remember never to scare a skunk because they will leave a smell you will never forget.

Listening Practice 4

Brian: Mom, come and check this out on TV! I want to get this as a pet!

Mom: Is that a tarantula? No way, Brian! You can’t have a tarantula for a pet. They’re poisonous.

Brian: They’re not poisonous, and they normally don’t bite people unless they are attacked.

Mom: How are you going to raise a huge spider like that in the house?

Brian: Well, it says here a box or aquarium with air holes in the top will make a good home for them. They also like to hide during the day, so they will need a small flower pot inside the box.

Mom: How are you going to feed it, Brian?

Brian: Tarantulas eat all kinds of bugs. They love crickets the most, so I can just catch its food in the park!

Mom: OK, Brian, but I better not see that thing running around the house.
