Nowadays, many families have a dog or a cat as a pet. Some people think that pets are good and helpful companies. Some of them even go so far as saying that animals are as good as humans, and their rights should be respected .Senior citizens are especially fond of keeping pet because they are always feeling lonely at home and they see the cats or dogs as their partner.

現(xiàn)如今，很多家庭都養(yǎng)有寵物狗或?qū)櫸镓垺Ｓ械娜苏J為寵物是很好的伙伴，甚至有人說動物和人類一樣，也需要被尊重。老人特別喜歡養(yǎng)寵物，因為他們待在家里，比較容易感覺到寂寞，他們把寵物當(dāng)做自己的伙伴。

But some other people do not like pets. They say that animals are noisy, dirty and dangerous. They think laws should be made to forbid people from keeping pets in cities and towns.

但有的人卻不喜歡寵物，他們認為動物吵鬧、骯臟并且危險，提議制定相關(guān)禁止在城鎮(zhèn)養(yǎng)寵物的法律。

In my opinion, pets are loyal friends that will never betray us. Staying with pets, we shall enjoy happiness and feel relaxed. Most important of all, keeping pets helps people to reduce loneliness and forget their unpleasant things for the time being.

我認為寵物是我們的朋友，不會背叛我們。和寵物待在一起，我們能感受到快樂和放松。最重要的是，養(yǎng)寵物能減少寂寞，也能暫時忘記不愉快的事情。
