Language points
1 押韵（Rhyme）
例句：
"ball" vs. "all" / "tricks" vs. "sticks" / "purr" vs. "fur"
定义：押韵指诗句末尾单词的发音相似。
作用：使诗歌朗朗上口，增强音乐性。
活动：请圈出诗中其他押韵的词组（如"high"和"sky"）。
2 拟人化（Personification）
例句：
"She can't talk, but does care."
定义：赋予动物或物体人类的特点（如猫"关心"人）。
作用：让描写更生动，表达情感。
讨论："为什么诗人说猫‘关心’人？这让你想到什么？"
3. cleverest (adj.) 最聪明的
原级：clever（聪明的）→ 最高级：cleverest
例句：
"My dog is the cleverest animal of all."（强调狗比其他所有动物都聪明）

互动：请用"cleverest"夸同学，如"Lily is the cleverest in math."
4. run after 追赶
例句：
"He doesn’t just run after a ball."（不只是追球）
"She likes to run after butterflies."（追蝴蝶）
近义词：chase（更正式）
对比：
"run after"：口语化，常用于游戏、玩耍场景。
"chase"：可能带有"追逐猎物"或"严肃追赶"的含义。

trick (n.)：小把戏、技巧

句型：never + 动词原形（否定强调）
例句：
"She never forgets to come back to me."（猫总是记得回家）
造句练习：用"never forgets to"描述家人习惯，如"My mom never forgets to call me."
8. by my side (词组) 在我身边

Activity 3
Talk about your view about pets
Think about the questions below. Share your answers with your classmates.
1 Why do you think many people like to keep pets
2 What animal would you like to have as a pet Why
I think people keep pets because they are cute, fun, and loyal. Pets like dogs and cats can make us happy when we feel lonely. They play with us and even help us relax. Some pets, like dogs, can also protect their owners. They become part of our family!
I would love to have a golden retriever as a pet because they are friendly, smart, and playful. They can learn tricks quickly, and they are great with kids. Also, they have soft fur and always seem happy, which makes me smile!
3 What things should you think about before getting a pet
Before getting a pet, we should think about:
Do I have enough time to take care of it
Can my family afford food, toys, and vet visits
Is my home big enough for the pet
Am I ready to clean, feed, and train it every day
Pets need love and responsibility, so we must be prepared!
