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.

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.
