Pots and their owners are just ike married couples and they get more alike overtime, a psychologist claimed yesterday. Prof Richard Wiseman asked almost 2,500 people to complete online ‘questionnaires about their characters and those of thelr pets, He found that many dag lovers, cat owners ‘and even reptile keepers said they shared many of the same traits - such as happiness, intelligence, independence and a sense of humour ~ as their pets. But he also discovered that the longer an animal had been with its owner, the more likely it was to have picked up thelr characteristics, Prof Wiseman said: "For years owners have insisted their pets have 2 unique personality. This work suggests they might bbe right, but it also reveals that people's pets are a reflection of themselves.” He went on to say: “t's like with married couples. They grow to look ike each other and to have similar personalities. I's possible ‘we are seeing a similar effect.” | 3 Doyou know anyone who has a pet? Do you think they and their pet are similar?

However, there are some cifferences that are probably worth thinking about. ‘The Excelsior Is much bigger (24 floors!) so I's got more facilities for guests. although we'l probably be working too hard to use the swimming poals and tennis courts, some people might appreciate the shopping arcade, On top of that, there are plenty of places to eat, Including a buffet Italian restaurant as well as a more formal dining room and a café with Wi-Fi access. ‘The Hotel Arts Is very different in size and style, It’s ‘much smaller but has a large conference room (seating 160) which would be fine for us. The business centre Isn't quite a5 well equipped, though I think it would be sufficient for our needs. There are fewer places to eat but the food sounds good. It's a beautiful place in an art deco building, quite stunning In fac. ‘As for price, the Excelsior offers some pretty good discounts, but the Arts is slightly cheaper. On balance, have to say I'd go for the Arts. The Excelsior is so enormous that it might feel rather impersonal, whereas the Arts feels a bit more special Anyway, let me know what you think, and please pass fon your ideas to Belinda for her final decision, Best wishes Mauro 3 Which highlighted linking expressions in the email a add information? x2) Underline the information hich is added, b contrast two ideas? {x4} Underline the ideas which are contrasted. conélude an argument ba Goals. 4 Complete an email from Katherine to another colleague, Belinda, with the highlighted ‘expressions from the first email Deer Belinda, Mauro and | would like to go ahead and book the Hotel ‘Arts, Buenos Aires for the conference this year. * we fee! t's the best venue.
