4) be attached [ ] – быть привязанным к кому-либо
(Man) You bought a dog! I can't believe it. Why did you buy a dog?
(Woman) It's not just a dog. It's a bearded collie. They were known for being guards of cattle and sheep in
Scotland in the fifteenth century. I bought it because I thought it would be good for the children to have.
They'll have to take care of it and feed it. And they will learn responsibility by caring for another living crea-
ture.
(Man) Why did you buy a collie?
(Woman) Collies are disciplined and reliable. They are highly intelligent. They can help their owners by
guarding the house. They don't require a lot of attention and can be left alone for long periods of time. When
we both go to work and the children go to school, it'll have to stay alone and take care of itself.
(Man) Sounds like you've given this a lot of thought.
(Woman) Yes, I have. Besides collies, I also studied up on terriers, golden retrievers, cocker spaniels, and
foxhounds. Terriers are good dogs, and they are beautiful. They have clean, smooth coats, square heads, and
big brown eyes. Terriers like people, and they are good pets because they like affection. Terriers are smaller
than collies, and they are very playful.
(Man) So, why didn't you get a terrier then?
(Woman) I didn't because they seem to be strongly attached to people. I'm in the office from eight to four,
and the children are at school from 7:30 to 3:30. So, if we are out of the house all day, who is going to take
care of the dog? Collies seem to be a better choice. We need a dog that doesn't need a lot of attention. It
seems that a terrier wouldn't fit in because it likes to
