Read the opinion column from an online teen magazine and decide whose opinion you agree with. HEAD TO HEAD Is it a good idea to keep dogs as pets? Li Li and Wang Meng give their opinions on this matter. “Keeping pet dogs is a good idea,” says Li Li. “Having a dog is a good idea. There are lots of reasons for this. First, dogs are really cute and make great playmates. It’s nice to hold them in our arms and play games with them. It’s also wonderful to see them grow up. Second, we can learn responsibility from keeping dogs. We have to feed them, train them and play with them. According to my mum, this helps us become more responsible people. It can also teach young people how to care for others. Finally, a dog will love you faithfully and is always pleased to see you. These characteristics mean that owning a dog will bring you lots of happiness. In short, I think it’s a good idea to have a dog.” “Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea,” says Wang Meng. “It’s not a good idea to have a dog. Pet dogs leave their hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed often. Dogs are noisy. Nearly all dogs bark at strangers. Some dogs bark more loudly than others. A few dogs bark all night. This can keep your neighbours awake at night! Not all dogs are friendly. A small number of pet dogs even attack people. What’s more, it’s common for people to live in flats. They have no choice but to keep their dogs inside most of the time. However, this is not good for dogs since they need fresh air and large open spaces where they can run free. Finally, owning a dog can be expensive. An owner needs to buy food and toys for his or her dog, and if the dog gets ill, it needs to be taken to the vet . Because of all these reasons, I would advise you not to get a dog as a pet.” Identifying arguments in an opinion article When writers present their opinions, they usually provide arguments.

It’s (not) a good idea to ... It’s nice / wonderful to ... Li Li thinks it’s a good idea to keep pet dogs. First, dogs bring people happiness—they are cute playmates, it’s nice to hold them and play games with them, and it’s wonderful to watch them grow up. Second, keeping dogs helps people become more responsible; people need to feed, train, and care for dogs, which also teaches young people how to look after others. Finally, dogs are faithful to their owners, adding more joy to life. Wang Meng’s Reasons (Opposes Keeping Pet Dogs) Wang Meng holds that it’s not a good idea to keep pet dogs. First, dogs are troublesome to care for—they leave hair everywhere and need frequent washing. Second, dogs may cause problems: they are noisy (many bark at strangers, some bark all night to disturb neighbours), and a small number even attack people. Third, it’s common for people to live in flats, so dogs have to stay indoors most of the time, which is bad for their need to run in open spaces. Last, keeping dogs is expensive, as owners have to pay for food, toys, and vet bills when dogs get ill.
