Adopting a dog I'm seriously thinking about adopting a dog. I've spent a lot of time this week searching for abandoned dogs on the internet. I'd rather give a home to an adult dog than buy a puppy. I respect people than prefers a breed dog, but I've seen photos and videos of dogs in animal shelters and their looks are so sad that I think they deserve to have a family. My children prefer a female dog, and it should be small, given that we live in a flat. However, we must think about it deeply, because if we finally decide to do it, it will be a great responsability.

Help me with this sentence, please "Cats ,in Minnesota, are not allowed to chase dogs up telegraph poles" I don´t get the meaning of it. Does it mean that the dogs are on telegraph poles, and the cats are not allowed to chase them? It´s too weird... Thank you

Sometimes Can I place "Sometimes" at the beginning of a sentence: Sometimes I go to the beach. I sometimes go to the beach. Are they both correct? And expressions like "Every day" "every week"... Can they go at the beginning or the end of the sentence? "I drive my car every day" or "Every day I drive my car" ? Thank you

My pupils I am a teacher, and sometimes I have a lot of fun in my classes. For example, today, I was with my younger pupils, a group of three year-old children. One of them, told me very serious that his father was a musician. I asked him: "What instrument does he play?" And he told me: "The horn of his car". Although sometimes they misbehave and I get angry with them, things like this remind me that I am very lucky, because I have a job I really love.

Little/small brother Is it correct to say: "I've got a small brother"? Does it sound natural? Or is it better to say: "I've got a little brother?" And, the opposite: Big or Elder brother? Wich one is more correct and sounds more natural? Thank you

Minimalism I am reading an interesting book called "The joy of less" It's a guide for a minimalist guide. The more I read, the more I realise that I have been keeping at home hundreds of things that I don't need. I have decide to start decluttering my living room, and I have donated about 30 books that I read years ago and I don't want to read again. So now I have much more space on my shelves and I feel relieved. The next step will be my wardrobe. I'm going to donate all the clothes that I haven't wore in the last year. I thought I was going to feel sad getting rid of my things, but I feel relieved!!
