A: Do you like animals?
B: Yes, and I have a dog.
A: What kind of dog is it?
B: It’s a Labrador. Very cute!
A: Is it a puppy?
B: No, it’s 3 years old already and sometimes it’s
really difficult to take care of it.
A: Why?
B: It is really big and wild. It needs a lot of
space and I have to take it out for a walk everyday.
A: That’s why I prefer cats.
B: So you’re a cat-person?

they know how to take care of themselves.
B: Oh ok. But dogs are more loyal and friendly.
A: Mmm, then we really have to think about if we
can really share the same apartment this semester.
