Reading
D. Read the article and fill in the sentences A-G for each paragraph. There is one
extra sentence that you do not need to use.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A GUIDE DOG
Yasmin has short golden hair and enormous
brown eyes. She is just seven years old and
she lives in Kent, England with her owners,
David and Rachel. 1
In fact, she is his
eyes.

When David finishes work, Yasmin escorts him

home where he makes her dinner. He doesnt
need Yasmins help so much in the house,
because he knows where everything is and, of
course, he has Rachel to help him when
necessary. Yasmin tries to stay out of his way so
that he doesnt fall over her! 5

Yasmin sleeps on her own mat which is next to

Davids bed. 2
David washes and
gets dressed, then they go downstairs
together. They have breakfast, then Yasmin
fetches Davids keys and wallet and she takes
him for a walk in the park. 3

After dinner, Yasmin and David usually go for

another walk in the park. When they get home he
always thanks her for her help during the day
and they play for a while. 6

Going for walks with David is hard work but

Yasmin doesnt mind. She has to concentrate
hard on the traffic and all the other people in
the streets. 4
When they get to work,
Yasmins job is much easier. She just sits in
her place, under Davids computer desk. But
she cant relax completely. She has to remain
alert in case David needs her!

Its hard work being someones eyes, but I

know Yasmin loves working for me and she
knows that I appreciate all her help, says David.
She makes it possible for me to live a normal
life.

A
Sometimes, Yasmin goes with David and Rachel to a restaurant or to a friends house in
the evening, but usually they stay home where they listen to music and relax.
BShe is always on hand so he can call her when he wants her to help him.
CFor example, sometimes she gets very tired.
DShe lets David know when it is safe to cross the roads and if there is anything in his way.
EThey both wake up at 6:30 every morning.
FAfter that, she helps him to find his way to work.
G. .She works for David, who cant see.
