to attend my wedding.
M: Congratulations, Angela.
W: Thank you. So how did you get here?
M: I drove.

M: How long have you been like this? W: Since last week. But it got worse two days ago and I began to worry, so I
made an appointment（预约，约会）yesterday.

W: Then should I take some medicine? M: You’d better not. Medicine is not everything. All you need is some good sleep. And avoid playing sports for a few days.

Today I’d like to share some interesting facts with you about pets in
North America. First of all, does anyone know how many families have pets? If you say 60%, you are right! Sixty percent of families have at least one pet. What about the most popular pets? I believe most of you already know the answer—dogs. In fact, dogs and cats are the two most popular pets. Other popular pets are birds and fish. Some people have all of them
Now let’s talk about how pets help their owners. You probably know that people help pets. They feed them and take care of them. But do you know pets help their owners feel good? People who don’t have pets often feel lonely, especially older people. Pets can also be helpful to people’s health. It’s true! People with pets are healthier than those without pets.
Finally, I’ll tell you that people in North America treat their pets like
members of their own family. Many people let their pets sleep in their beds. And sometimes the owners carry a picture of their pets with them!。
