Is it common to keep a pet in your country?

Yes, it is pretty common for people to have a dog or a cat at home. Many families get a fish tank full of fish or sometimes just 1 or 2 gold fish. Some people buy a bird too, such as a parrot or a budgie. There are a lot of pet shops in the city now and children love having a puppy or a kitty at home to play with.

   Why do some people think that keeping pets is good for children?
   

It can be beneficial for children to have a pet because the animal can become a good companion. In China, with the one-child policy, many children often feel lonely. The pet can make them smile, and give them the impression that they are not on their own. In addition, some parents believe that having a pet can give children a sense of responsibility. The kids must walk the dog, clean it, and feed it. It could be a good chance for children to learn how to take care of weaker and younger creatures. I think that children with pets might learn how to be more considerate and thoughtful.
