Listening • Task 1.Read to the story and
choose the correct option. The ant and the
grasshopper
In a garden there lived an ant and
a grasshopper who were very good friends. It
was springtime and the grasshopper was having a lot of fun playing, singing, and dancing in the
sun. But the ant was hard working. It was collecting food grains and storing them in its house. The
grasshopper did not understand why the ant was doing so and said, "Hey,' Ant! Why don't you
come outside and play with me?" The ant replied, "I cannot. I am storing food for the winter when
there won't be anything to eat!" The grasshopper only laughed at the ant and said, "Why are you
worrying now? There is plenty of food!" and continued to play, while the ant worked hard. When
winter came, the grasshopper did not find a single grain of food to eat. It began to starve and feel
very weak. The grasshopper saw how the hardworking ant had plenty of food to eat and realized its
foolishness.​

I would like to say a few words about mosquitoes. They are very nasty insects. They parasites on all living beings: people, animals. In Russia, mosquitoes are relatively harmless, although there is a huge number of them in Russia. But, in southern countries, in the tropics, mosquitoes are very dangerous. Their bite can kill a person. Theу are malarial mosquitoes...  The disease that they carry is called malaria. The mosquitoes breed on a warm time..
Mhe хотелось бы сказать несколько слов о комарах. Комары очень неприятные насекомые. Они паразитируют на всех живых существах: людях, животных. В России комары относительно безобидны, хотя их огромное количество в России. Но, в южных странах, в тропиках, комары очень опасны. Их укус может убить человека. Это малярийные комары.. болезни, которые они переносят называется малярией. Комары размножаются в теплое время...

We use these animals for different purposes. For example,  people often use dogs to looking for illegal substances (drugs). In ancient times, people used pigeons called   messenger-pigeon to exchange information. More often than not  we see dolphins water shows, this is really exciting!

People often used horses as means of transportation, and  , for example, the sheep give us   wool which we so need.

About the question "Could animals be used as secret agent?", I think it's impossible. Animals can't be used as  secret agent, because the exchange of information is impossible.
