Getting a Pet | Bookiverse

CEFR A2 Level

This book is part of the
Extensive Reading Program

Many people, adults and children, love animals and dream of having a pet, like a cat, dog, rabbit, or even a small mouse. Pets can bring a lot of happiness and fun to a home. However, getting a pet is a big decision. It's important to think carefully before you bring an animal into your life.

First, think about time. All pets need your time every day. Dogs need walking at least twice a day, playing with, and training. Cats need playing with and attention. Even smaller animals like rabbits or hamsters need their cages cleaned regularly, fresh food and water, and time to exercise outside their cage. Are you ready to give this time, every single day, for many years?

Second, think about money. Pets cost money. You need to buy food, toys, beds, cages or tanks. You also need to pay for visits to the vet (animal doctor) for check-ups, vaccinations, and if your pet gets sick or has an accident. Medicine for animals can be expensive.

Third, think about your home. Do you have enough space for the pet you want? A large dog might not be happy in a very small apartment without a garden. Do you rent your home? If yes, does your landlord allow pets?

Having a pet is wonderful, but it's also a big responsibility. Make sure you choose a pet that is right for you and your life, and that you are ready to give it the care it needs for its whole life.

Reading Tips: How to Get the Most from This Book

Read for meaning. Focus on understanding the main ideas rather than every single word. Encountering unfamiliar vocabulary is normal — use context to help you interpret meaning.

Keep a steady flow. Try not to stop too often. Reading continuously improves comprehension and helps you follow the development of ideas more naturally.

Listen and read together. Use the audio version while reading. This strengthens understanding, improves pronunciation, and develops your sense of rhythm and intonation in English.

Read regularly. Short, consistent reading sessions are more effective than occasional long ones. Re-reading sections you enjoy can further reinforce learning.

Engage with the text. Think about what you read. Asking simple questions and reflecting on ideas deepens comprehension and improves retention.

Extensive Reading Program - A2 Level

The Extensive Reading Program helps learners improve their English step by step, from level A1 to level C2. At the A2 level, students read simple texts that are a little longer and more interesting. They learn to understand the main ideas and talk about them with more confidence.

Reading regularly helps students learn new words. For this reason, the books, articles, and stories in this program are carefully written to include useful words and expressions for A2 learners. This helps students learn vocabulary naturally while they read.

Students can use this program by themselves or with a teacher in class. The levels make it easy to see progress, feel proud of improvement, and continue learning English through reading.
