Interlocutor: "Do you think it is right for people to keep exotic pets?" Miguel: "Exotic is like strange and unusual, isn't it?" Hans: "Yes" Interlocutor: "I mean things like lions, or spiders?" Hans: "I think it is okay to have a lion if you have a big place. A big, safe place for it." Miguel: "I won't want that spider to escape either!" Hans: "It's not so dangerous as a lion." Miguel: "I think it's bad to keep exotic pets if they are kinds of animal that might go extinct." Hans: "Then lions are okay - they are not going extinct. There are many lions in the world." Interlocutor: "If you could have an exotic pet, what would it be?" Miguel: "I think I would like that spider, because I could keep it in my bedroom, and then my sister would never go in there!" Hans: "But also not you ... I mean, you also would not go in - you have told me just now that you don't like spiders." Miguel: "This will be a guard spider for my things - I can sleep in another room." Interlocutor: "Do you have a pet Hans?" Hans: "I have a collie dog - she was a present for me on my birthday." Interlocutor: "And you, Miguel?" Miguel: "We have an apartment, and it is not so big for us to have a pet, in fact"
