53.  A Domesticated Animal (Probably not a Part 2 topic)

Note:  This seems to be a different topic to # 39, A Wild Animal, even though some of the Part 3 questions seem similar. I think (but I am not 100% sure), that  topic # 53 refers to a domesticated animal. (Someone wrote on the internet that it was 'a town animal'.)

 Describe a domesticated animal. (= Describe an animal that is used by people) in your hometown.

               You should say:

                               what the animal is

                               where it lives

                and explain how this animal is useful to people. *     

                                        or

             and explain how you feel about this animal. *
