1.In photos i can see 2 bears. On first photo i can see an Arctic bear in a zoo. Lots of people are filming him and taking photos. On second photo there is a grizzly bear in a wild or probably in natural reservation. He's looking for something.
2.In both photos there are bears.
3.The photos are different in enviroment.
4.I prefer more natural life for wild animals.
5.Becouse it's closer to what they have to live like. It's more natural then the zoo life where they get fat and become uncapable to live in the enviroment they was born to live in.

Task4.
In the left picture there is a big bear sitting on the ground and people are taking photos. In the right picture there is a bear with a stick in its hand in the fuild. There are bears in both pictures. In the left picture there are many people but in the right picture the bear is along. I'd prefer wild animals tolive on the nature to walk where they want because if people include on them animals feel uncomfortable and can bite somebody.

Two Bears

In both pictures we can see Grizzly bears. In the first picture here are a bear in the zoo, he is not very happy, because he is tired of crowds of people, and a lot of them are taking photos with the bear. In the second photo we can see a bear who is walking in the wild and he seems very acive and happy, and here are many flowers around him. I prefer freedom for all animals and I wish that all animals will be free.

[Мякиш]

In both photos action takes place in the forest, near Siberia. There are two bears and in the first photo people are looking at bear and in the second photo bear alone. That photos are different because in the first photo there are bear and people and in the second photo there is only one bear and that's all. I prefer free life for animals, because i thing that zoo is very bad thing for animals. They can't feel themself free there. And when they are free, they can live their own life, like nature want it.

The Salesman
Henry Leech was a salesman. He was a good salesman and sold lots of vacuum cleaners. One
week, the manager sent Henry into the countryside to sell.
He drove out of town and stopped at a farmhouse. He knocked on the door and the farmer’s
wife opened it. Henry started into his speech immediately.
“Mam, how much time do you spend sweeping the floors? “
“A lot of time. This is a farm and things get dirty quickly.” said the woman.
“And how much time do you spend beating the carpets?” asked Henry.
“A lot of time. This house gets dusty and my dog also lays on them”
“Well” said Henry, “This is your lucky day.”
Henry showed her his vacuum cleaner and said,
“You can clean the house in 5 minutes with this!”
The farmer’s wife didn’t look interested.
Henry took out a big bag of dirt. He opened it and threw it all over the floor. The farmer’s
wife was very surprised. Before she could speak Henry said, “ Mam, if this machine doesn’t
pick up every last piece of dirt, I will eat all of it!!!!!”
The farmer’s wife looked at Henry and said,
“WELL, I WILL GET YOU A SPOON.
WE HAVE NO ELECTRICITY.”

IT’S THE BUTCHER!
An old woman was lonely. She decided to get a pet. She didn’t have much money so she
went to a second hand pet shop.
She saw many animals: a three legged cat, a dog without a tail, fish that could only swim
backwards and a beautiful bird that could only say one thing, “Who is it?”. She decided to
buy the bird. She bought a cage for her bird and went home. She put the bird by the door and
went downtown to do some shopping.
While she was gone, a man knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” replied the parrot.
“It’s the butcher,” he said.
“Who is it?”, repeated the bird.
“It’s the butcher,” said the man.
“Who is it?” asked the parrot.
“It’s the butcher!!,”, said the man angrily.
“Who is it?” “It’s the butcher!!!!”, he screamed.
“Who is it?” “It’s the butcher, the butcher, the butch...”
Suddenly the butcher fell to the floor. He had had a heart attack.
Later that day, the old woman came home and found the man laying on her doorstep. She
opened her door and asked the parrot, “Who is it?” . The parrot replied,
“It’s the butcher!”
