Just now we talked about the advantages and disadvantages of keeping pets. Animals become
our good friends. Some students think keeping pets can bring us a lot of fun. Especially for some
old people, pets can make them feel less lonely. But some students don’t agree. They think it is
not good to keep pets. They need to spend a lot of time taking care of them. What’s worse, pets
will often make our room dirty. Most of us hate it. In my opinion, I think if the pets are cheap and
easy to keep, just like goldfish, we can keep them.
