1 Why do you think many people like to keep pets?
Firstly, pets can be great companions. For example, dogs are always excited to see their owners and can stay by their side, making people feel less lonely.
Secondly, taking care of pets can teach people responsibility. We need to feed them, clean up after them and make sure they are healthy. It helps us learn how to be more responsible in life.

What things should you think about before getting a pet?
Before getting a pet, we should think about:
Do I have enough time to take care of it?
Can my family afford food, toys, and vet visits?
Is my home big enough for the pet?
Am I ready to clean, feed, and train it every day?
Pets need love and responsibility, so we must be prepared!

2 What animal would you like to have as a pet? Why?
I’d like to have a cat as a pet. Cats are very cute. Their soft fur and big, innocent eyes always melt my heart. And they are independent. They can amuse themselves when I’m busy with schoolwork, but they'll also come and snuggle with me when I want some company. Having a cat at home would be like having a little ball of warmth and comfort, bringing me lots of joy.

3 What things should you think about before getting a pet?
First, consider the cost. Pets need food, toys, and medical care, which all cost money. Second, think about the time you can spend with it. Also, consider the pet’s lifespan. You should be ready to take care of it for many years. Finally, make sure there are no family members allergic to the pet you want to get.
