1. Are there many people keeping pets in China? What kinds of pets do people keep?
Yes, tons of people have pets in China. I think that in general, people have pets like cats and dogs.They’re easy to keep in apartments or *all houses. For example, my grandpa has two cats. They love staying indoors. Pets like those are easy to take care of.

2. Do you have any pets? / Have you had a pet when you were young?
No, I don’t have any now. I had several goldfish when I was very young. That was the only time I had animals. But unfortunately, they all died because I forgot to feed them. So even though I love animals, I tend to avoid keeping a pet because I may kill it again…

3. Which animals can be good pets? Which ones cannot be?
Personally, I think animals like cats are good pets. They are really easy to take care of. They don’t need a lot of attention, and they can stay indoors all day. But animals that need a lot of care, like big
dogs, might not be great pets. Yo u have to walk the dog every day. And dogs bark really loudly.So I don’t think dogs are good pets for quiet people like me. (注意这个题有两问，回答根据实际情况做内容删减)

4. What pet would you want to keep?
Um…I’d love to have a *all dog. I live in a *all apartment now, and a *all dog wouldn’t need a lot of space. Plus, *all dogs are adorable. They’re so cute that just looking at them helps me feel happy and relaxed.

5. Which kinds of pets do you dislike?
I don’t like reptiles for pets. I think animals like snakes and frogs are all super creepy. I would never want to hold them or spend time with them. And feeding them would disgust me. Yo u know,snakes often eat mice—I would freak out if I had to feed my pet a mouse.

6. Do you think children should have pets? Why?
Yes, it’s really important to let children keep pets. I believe it can definitely teach them how to be responsible. They have to feed pets and look after them every day. By taking care of a pet, they can eventually learn how to take care of themselves.
