Intermediate Conversation: Pets and Animals

WARM UP

Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Sam and you will be Alice. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.

READ

I will go to the pet shop later. What pet do you think should I get?
If I were you, I would get a dog. They are very loyal and playful.

I agree with that. However, I need to walk it in the park most of the time.
If walking the dog would be a problem, we could take turns in doing that. I would also love to go jogging in the park once in a while.

Thank you! I appreciate your help. Would you like to accompany me later at the pet shop?
Sure thing. Let’s also think of a cute pet name later.
