Pets
　　A pet is all animal which is raised or kept by people as a companion. In recent years, more and more people, old or young, rich or poor, like to keep a pet such as a dog, a cat, a monkey and so on.
　　Pets gain much love from people and they also bring people a lot of happiness. Although they are not human beings, their behaviors sometimes are better than certain human beings, for they always remain obedient and loyal to the masters. There are many stories that a pet saved his or her master's life or even traveled thousands of miles to return home. Moreover, trained pets are very helpful. For instance, a trained dog can help the blind to walk and a trained pig can even find out drugs from goods.
　　But sometimes pets are trouble-makers. Some pets such as dogs or snakes may attack people unexpectedly. And a lot of people get infected because of the virus carried by their pets.
　　Referring to whether raising pets should be advocated or not, my opinion is, raising pets should be controlled.            (173 words)

宠 物
　　宠物是指所有由人类饲养或照顾并作为人类伙伴的动物。近些年来，越来越多的人，或老或少，或穷或富，喜欢饲养宠物，比如小狗、小猫、猴子等等。
　　宠物得到人们许多的宠爱，同时它们也给人们带来了许多欢乐。尽管宠物不是人类，但它们的行为有时候比某些人都好，因为它们始终服从主人并对主人忠诚。有许多故事都是讲述宠物救主人的性命，甚至走数千里回到家。另外，训练有素的宠物对人很有帮助。例如，一只受过训练的小狗可以帮助盲人走路，一只受过训练的小猪甚至能从货物中把毒品找出来。
　　不过，有时宠物也是捣乱分子。有些宠物，比如狗或蛇，可能会意外地攻击人。而且许多人由于宠物身上携带的病毒而受到感染。
　　谈到是否应该支持饲养宠物，我的观点是，宠物饲养应该受到控制。
