Read the text and choose the correct word. There are a lot of rules in schools, and they are not always the same in all countries. For example: in
most schools you must wear a uniform, be on time, and respect your teachers and classmates. But
sometimes there are some strange rules that are very hard to follow. What are the rules in your
school?

Hi! My Name is Michael, I'm thirteen years old and I live in London. We must follow many rules in our
school and they are quite tough. We mustn't run in the corridors, we mustn't chew gum in the school.
We mustn't take our smartphones to school. We must arrive on time at school. We should read a lot
of books and do our homework. Some of us may not like these rules but, in my opinion we need to
follow the rules because they help us to make progress.
Hi! My Name is Assel, I'm twelve years old and I live in Almaty, we also have a lot of rules to follow. We
should listen to our teachers in our school and we should be polite. We mustn't be late for school. We
mustn't use mobile phones and other electronic equipment during our lessons. We need to keep our
classrooms clean and tidy. Also we must raise our hand to speak up. I think the rules are important
because they help us to have everything in order
There are a lot of
rules in all schools.

Why you mustn't keep wild animals as pets?
First of all, it is against the law to catch and keep wildlife. In many countries it is illegal for you to keep them. These laws exist because wild animals have special needs and it is difficult to keep them healthy and alive in captivity.
Secondly, a wild baby animal cannot eat the same foods you or your pet eat. It must have special foods.
Next, wild animals need to be with their own kind . A baby wild animal raised to be friendly to people and pets may not know what kind of creature it is, or how to behave with others of its own kind.
Furthermore, a wild baby animal raised by people may be cute but it will grow up to be a wild adult, and may become aggressive and dangerous in captivity.
Finally, unlike our pets, wild animals are not vaccinated for diseases, or dewormed, nor do they see a veterinarian regularly. Consequently, wild animals may carry infectious diseases and parasites that may be harmful to you or your pets. So, it is not a good idea to keep wild animals as pets.
