“Animals” is a topic which can be related to the everyday life of the students. Many of the pupils have pets at home or they want to have one. Besides almost every student went to the zoo at least once, so they know different wild animals. That’s why every student is able to say something about this topic. It is good for them to collect information about how pets have to be held, what they eat, how long they live and what kind of costs and efforts there are when you have a pet. If they plan to buy one it can be important to know some facts.
