Writing practice

• Write an essay entitled Animal Intelligence as I
  See It in about 150 words. Your paper should
  cover the following points.
• 1.Your opinion on animal intelligence
• 2. Give one or two examples as evidence.

54
A sample

• Are animals intelligent? It is a difficult
  question to decide.
• Take the case of my dog, Sam. Whenever he does
  something wrong, eats the chocolates we left on
  the table, for example, Sam will hide. He clearly
  knows he has done wrong and is likely to get
  shouted at for it. Usually we find him hiding
  under one of the beds. Unfortunately, being a
  rather large dog, he can never fit all of him
  under, and so you can see the back half of him
  sticking out. Now, is he stupid enough to think
  I cant see you, so you cant see me? Or is he
  smart enough to be thinking, I know you know I
  know you can see me. Isnt that funny?
• That his tail is always wagging at such
  moments leads me to suspect the latter
  explanation is nearer the truth.
