TERM TEST 1º ESO NAME: …………………………………………………………………….

1.Read the text. Then complete the sentences. 4p

Do you want a pet? What type of pet do you want? A cat? A dog? A hamster? How about … a teacup pig?
Teacup pigs are very small. Babies weigh about 250 grams and are the size of a teacup. Teacup pigs live for
about 18 years, but stop growing after two years. Adult teacup pigs weigh 15-25 kilograms and are 30-40
centimetres long. That’s about 1/5 of the size of a normal pig. Pigs usually live on farms, but teacup pigs are
quiet, clean animals and are happy in a house. They need exercise, so people often walk their teacup pigs – just
like people walk their dogs!
Jane Croft from England sells teacup pigs – for £700! According to Jane, pigs are great pets. Her pigs are
intelligent and they learn many things. People can play games with their pigs and teach them tricks. Teacup
pigs are also friendly and love attention. They love people – they even like sitting with people and watching
TV – and people love them!
So, do you want a pet? Jane gets about 60 e-mails and 40 phone calls a day from people all over the world
asking about her pigs. Maybe you want to call her too?
