Amy: How To Talk To Animals: A Guide For Beginners by Susan Howell No way! Marcus: Listen to this She says a hamster named Willy told her that he liked rock music! Amy: Oh, come on! That can’t be true! Marcus: It says here the owner played it loudly in the living room all the time and Willy developed a taste for it! But he wasn’t so keen on rap or hip-hop Amy: How does she it? I mean, how does she say she does it? Because I don’t believe it Marcus: She says you have to listen with your heart, not your mind You must ask questions with love And you need to tune in to the animal’s energy field Amy: It’s not exactly clear, is it? Does she mean to ask nicely? Does she mean to ask in a soft voice? And how animals reply? They can’t talk Are we supposed to read their minds? Marcus: To be honest, I don’t understand that either But she says everyone can communicate with animals and the only reason we don’t is because we’ve been told we can’t Amy: Well, I’m pretty sure I can’t Marcus: Imagine if we could communicate with animals, though – have a real conversation That would be amazing! What would you ask Fred? Amy: Hmmm … I think I’d ask him where he put my iPod I can’t find it anywhere! Marcus: I’d ask him what he thinks of me I mean, I just assume that he loves me, but what if he doesn’t? What if he thinks I’m boring or something? Amy: Let’s ask him! 175 9781380033765_TB_B1.indb 175 21/06/2019 16:18 Macmillan Education Crinan Street London N1 9XW A division of Springer Nature Limited Companies and representatives throughout the world Optimise B1 Teacher’s Book ISBN 978-1-380-03210-2 Optimise B1 Teacher’s Book Premium Pack ISBN 978-1-380-03376-5 Text, design and illustration © Springer Nature Limited 2019 Written by Anna Cole The author has asserted their right to be identified as the author of this work in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 First published 2017 This edition published 2019 All rights reserved No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the publishers Designed by Designers Collective Typeset by J & D Glover Ltd and SPi Technologies Inc Cover design by Designers Collective The authors and publishers would like to thank the following for permission to reproduce their photographs: Getty Images Getty Images/Blend Images p27; Daniel Grill p26; plainpictures/Johner/Susanne Kronholm p49; Thinkstock Images p24 Commissioned photographs by MTJ Media pp 8(tl, tr), 12(br), 16(tr, tl, b) Full acknowledgements for photographs in the facsimile pages can be found in the Student’s Book ISBN 978-1-380-03000-9, the Workbook ISBN 978-1-380-03377-2 and the Workbook with Key ISBN 978-1-380-03209-6 These materials may contain links for third party websites We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the contents of such third party websites Please use care when accessing them The inclusion of any specific companies, commercial products, trade names or otherwise does not constitute or imply its endorsement or recommendation by Springer Nature Limited Printed and bound in Spain by Edelvives 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 10 9781380033765_TB_B1.indb 176 21/06/2019 16:18 ... 9781380033765_TB _B1. indb 175 21/06/2019 16:18 Macmillan Education Crinan Street London N1 9XW A division of Springer Nature Limited Companies and representatives throughout the world Optimise B1 Teacher’s Book. .. representatives throughout the world Optimise B1 Teacher’s Book ISBN 978-1-380-03210-2 Optimise B1 Teacher’s Book Premium Pack ISBN 978-1-380-03376-5 Text, design and illustration © Springer Nature Limited... photographs in the facsimile pages can be found in the Student’s Book ISBN 978-1-380-03000-9, the Workbook ISBN 978-1-380-03377-2 and the Workbook with Key ISBN 978-1-380-03209-6 These materials may
