9.11 Read the text and say why correct feeding is so important in pets’ life.

A lot of research has been done to determine the nutrient needs of dogs and cats. In fact, probably more is known about pet nutrition than human nutrition.

Incorrect feeding of a growing little one affects body weight, height and constitution of an animal. If the feeding is incorrect, our pets can develop various serious diseases. Unbalanced feeding can also reduce fertilization ability.

Feeding must be full (that is, should take into account the quality of nutrition), well-balanced (that is, should consider the interaction of certain substances in food and in the organism) and rational (should consider correct consumption of forage sources when scheduling a diet).

Most pet owners today feed their pets on commercial foods which are well- formulated and have no nutritional deficiencies. It is difficult to prepare a homemade diet that contains all the nutrients the animal requires so in most cases it is easier and safer to feed a commercial food.

In general both cats and dogs are omnivorous. They can eat meat, fish, milk, vegetable and grassy food. From time to time they eat grass or houseplants. In this way they get minerals and vitamins.

1. Incorrect feeding affects only the constitution of an animal.

2. Unbalanced feeding reduces weight.

3. Well-balanced feeding means correct consumption of forage sources when scheduling a diet.

4. To feed a homemade food is easier and safer.

5. Cats and dogs should eat only grass.

9.13 Read the information given below and tell your group mates about the advantages of cocoa over other “healthy” drinks.

1. A study scientist in the US has found that a cup of hot cocoa is rich in powerful antioxidants. Previous studies have also shown these chemicals, which reduce the effects of ageing, are found in cocoa. However, this latest study suggests cocoa may be richer in antioxidants than better known “healthy” drinks like tea and red wine.

2. Although cocoa is found in many other products, such as chocolate, the researchers said, drinking it was the best way of harnessing its health benefit. This is because a bar of chocolate is high in saturated fat. A 40 g bar of chocolate contains about 8 g of saturated fat. This compares with 0.3 g in an average cup of hot cocoa.

3. “Although we know that antioxidants are important for good heath, nobody knows the exact daily amount required per person. Nevertheless, a cup or two of cocoa every once in a while can provide a delicious, warm and healthy way to obtain more antioxidants” (Dr. Chang Gong Lee, Cornell University).

Start like this:

A: Do you know that cocoa is healthier than tea or red wine.

B: Really? Why?

A: I read about it in the article. …
