“Keeping pet dogs is a good idea,” says Li Li.

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 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.”

Let’s watch and think.
“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(兽医) . Because of all these reasons, I would advise you not to get a dog as a pet.”
