Drill 1 Read the following question and answers, and answer the following question.
Question: Which do you like better,
cats or dogs? Why?
Answer A: I like dogs better than
cats. Dogs are cute. I have had my dog since he was a puppy. He is so cute that
I spend most of my free time with him. Dogs are also smart. They learn many
tricks. My dog can sit, stay, and fetch a ball. He also plays frisbee and dances
with me. He’s really smart. Therefore, I prefer dogs to cats.
Answer B: I like dogs better
than cats. Dogs show more feelings than cats, and I like that. Dogs are also
smarter than cats. Cats never learn tricks, but dogs do. My
dog also plays frisbee and dances with me. My cat never joins us. She comes
close to me only when she is hungry. I think cats are like that. Therefore, I prefer
dogs to cats.
Question: Which do you think is
the more appropriate way to answer the question? Why? Hint: Circle dog(s) and
cat(s) in the answers in different colors respectively, and compare how many and
where the words are.
