EXPRESSING OPINIONS
1. A vegan: opinions 3, 4
A farmer: opinions 1, 2, 5 and 6

4. In sentences 1, 4, 5, and 7

2. Possible Answer
I agree with opinion 2 because I think that its logical
that we use animals because we are superior to them.
However, I also think animals must be treated with
respect.

5. 1. The state of Alaska, which is near the Arctic

Circle, has got a very cold climate.
2. Maggie, who lived in the Alaska Zoo, was the

3. She lived in the zoo from 1983, when she was
taken from Africa.

in groups.
5. They must also live in a warm climate which /
that is similar to their warm native habitat.

where she could socialise with other elephants.
7. The zoo agreed to move her to a sanctuary in
California, where she would be much happier.
8. This was difficult for the Alaskans, who were sad
to part with their only elephant.

3. Possible Answers
I think that making horses race against each other
exploits the animals. The owners make a lot of money
if the horse wins, but its not natural for a horse to do
this.
In my opinion, training a dog to be a guide dog isnt
cruel or unfair. The dog probably has a good life and I
dont think it suffers in any way.
