Play youtube video. Ask if Ss have pets and what pets they've had in the past. Write names of pets on white board. Ask Ss if they can think of any unusual pets and if anyone has ever owned an unusual pet.

Elicit vocabulary words: "companion," "fluffy," "frighten," "unconditional," "a bond," "characteristic," "cage," and "to keep fit." Concept check. Drill. Write on board. Show word stress. Next, tape photos of animals on board. Elicit names of animals from students. Drill. Group students in pairs to discuss characteristics (e.g. small, "frightening," "fluffy") of each animal. Encourage Ss to use new vocabulary words where possible. They have 2 minutes for this. Have students write characteristics of each animal on board. Divide students into 2 groups and have them pass each picture around the circle, focusing on their pronunciation. They have 3 minutes for this.

EXERCISE 1 Direct students' attention to the 3 people pictured at the bottom left-hand corner of the page. Tell them we will be listening to each person talk about their pets, but they won't actually say what they are. As they listen, students should guess which pet listed in the box that each person has. Do demo by asking, "So for example, I have a very common pet, and she's fluffy, and she doesn't like dogs. What animal from the box might I choose?" Then do ICQ and make sure they know they'll writing a person's name above a pet listed in the box. Ask if they are working alone or with partners (alone). Afterwards, assign Ss partners and have them compare their guesses. They have 2 minutes for this.

EXERCISE 2 Assign students partners. Instruct them to read through the list of pet characteristics and tick the ones they think were mentioned in the interviews. They have 2 minutes for this. EXERCISE 3 Give students three pieces of scrap paper and instruct them to write T for Tim, M for Maxine, and G for Gus on them. Have them write down their answers. Play recording a second time and have students hold up the cards when they mention that their pet has one of the characteristics. Tell them each one can have multiple answers. Do demo. Do ICQs. Can play recording again if necessary. Go over answers as WC.

Assign students partners. Students discuss questions in EXERCISE 4 in pairs. They have 4 minutes for this. Do demo. Then have Ss share their results with other pairs.

Group Ss into 2 teams. Have Ss decide on a team name. See which team can name the most kinds of pets. Remind Ss to think about their previous lesson with Elif. Have one person from each team write their answers on the board and see who won.
