1 Comprehension Skill Builder - Grade 4 Date: End Time : (WS#4CMP1015) 1 Name: Start Time : Comprehensionn Skill Builder Non-fiction Imagine being able to take care of and play with animals alll day long. If you think that this is cool, then you would like Dr. Amy Crain s job. Dr. Crain is a veterinarian, or an animal doctor, and every day, she enjoys taking care of all different kinds of animals. 2 Veterinarians work in different settings, taking care of various kinds of animals. Some vets, like Dr. Amy Crain, run their own vet clinics where they mainly take care of small, household pets like cats and dogs. Other vets may be called on to work with bigger farm animals such as goats, horses and cows. These vets may sometimes have to travel out to farms and ranches to take care of farm animals. Vets can also work in zoos and animal refuges where they may care for animals like zebras, giraffes, sharks, and monkeys that are not normally found in homes and farms. 3 Whether they work in a clinic, with farmers and ranchers, or in a zoo, veterinarians schedules are almost always busy. Vets who work with farmers and in clinics will almost always have appointments to meet with animals and their owners. Vets who work in zoos and animal refuges don t have to meet with animal owners, but they do have to schedule time to look at different animals in the zoos and refuges. Vets must also determine diets for animals in their
2 care, and they may sometimes have to feed the animals if the animals are staying overnight with them. For some very sick animals, some vets may sometimes have to do surgery. 4 Because vets have so many responsibilities, it is no wonder then that they must be highly educated. Before going to Veterinarian school individuals who want to become vets must first go to college for four years to receive their bachelor s degree. During these four years, potential veterinarians must take many math and science classes as well as other kinds of classes to help improve their thinking. Once they receive their bachelor s degree, these future veterinarians must go to veterinarian school to learn how to be a vet. It takes anywhere between two to four years of vet schooling before someone can be done, and once vet school is completed, students must pass a special test to receive a license that will allow them to work as a veterinarian. 5 Becoming a veterinarian isn t a very easy path, and a veterinarian s schedule can be quite busy. However, for anyone who loves animals, being a vet can be a very rewarding career.

8 Grammar Skill Builder - Grade 4 Name: Date: Start Time : End Time : Grammar Skill Builder Hyperboles (WS#4GRA1010) A hyperbole is an exaggerated expression. It is used in writing to be overly dramatic, funny, or to make a point. I waited in line for tickets for a million years! This is a hyperbole because the person waited in line for a very long time. Sabrina could eat a horse right now! This is hyperbole because the person is trying to express how hungry she is right now. Directions: Underline the hyperboles in the story below. After a long day at school, my entire body was killing me! I mean, Mr. James, our physical education teacher made us run a million laps around the track. He was so angry at us because Missy Moore talked back to him. He reminded us that he said a million times, "Do not talk back in class." So we ran, and ran, and then ran so more. I was so tired, that I could not move. After P.E., I had to lug my backpack around. It must weigh a hundred pounds. I do not think that is healthy. I ran faster than the speed of light to my locker. I was finally able to put some stuff away. Then Mrs. McDonald, my math teacher, informed us we had to do two pages in our math books. That's a ton of homework Mrs. McDonald. I mean, really, can't anyone every think of me! Jessie and I cried for hours about our homework situation before we realized that if she did a page and I did a page, we could cut our work in half. I mean, it's not cheating if we work together right? Because if this day gets any worse, I will just die!
