Book Description
English Reading Practice: Animals is part of a themed reading series. This book contains seventeen original reading texts (around 250 words each) for beginner learners of English (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages levels A1-A2). Educators can recommend this book to their learners for extra reading practice outside of class, or use parts of it to support activities inside the classroom. Each reading text is accompanied with exercises, and answers to the exercises are provided at the back of the book. The exercise types are common test question types, so the book can also help those preparing for reading examinations. This series supports the researched-backed premise that by reading a lot, people become better readers. The book is potentially suitable for all age groups, although note that the words "hunt" and "kill" appear in relation to animals.
English Reading Practice: Animals
Reading Cats and Dogs
Author: Françoise Besson
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793611076
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Throughout the world, people spend much of their time with animal companions of various kinds, frequently with cats and dogs. What meanings do we make of these relationships? In the ecocritical collection Reading cats and Dogs, a diverse array of scholars considers the philosophy, literature, and film devoted to human relationships with companion species. In addition to illuminating famous animal stories by Beatrix Potter, Jack London, Italo Svevo, and Michael Ondaatje, readers are introduced to the dog poems of Shuntarō Tanikawa, a Turkish documentary on stray cats as neighborhood companions, and the representation of diverse animal companions in Cameroonian novels. Focusing on “Stray and Feral Companions,” “The Usefulness of Companion Animals,” and “Problematizing Companion Animals,” Reading Cats and Dogs aims both to confirm and topple readers’ assumptions about the fellow travelers with whom we share our lives, our streets and fields, and our planet. Fifteen contributors from various countries reveal the aesthetic, ethical, and psychological complexities of our multispecies relationships, demonstrating the richness of ecocritical animal studies.

Animal Farm
Author: George Orwell
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781548021924
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. According to Orwell, the book reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Joseph Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Spanish Civil War. The Soviet Union, he believed, had become a brutal dictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforced by a reign of terror. In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin ("un conte satirique contre Staline"), and in his essay "Why I Write" (1946), wrote that Animal Farm was the first book in which he tried, with full consciousness of what he was doing, "to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole".
