You are going to give a talk about keeping pets. You will have to start in 1.5 minutes and speak for not more than 2 minutes (10–12 sentences).
Remember to say:
• why people keep pets
• what responsibilities come with having a pet
• the most popular pets in your country
• your attitude towards keeping pets
You have to talk continuously.
People keep pets for various reasons, but primarily for companionship and emotional support. Pets provide unconditional love and can help reduce stress and loneliness. They also teach us important life lessons about responsibility, empathy, and caring for others.
Having a pet comes with numerous responsibilities. Pet owners must provide proper nutrition, regular exercise, and a safe, comfortable living environment. Pets need routine medical care, including vaccinations and check-ups. Daily tasks like feeding, grooming, and cleaning up after pets are also essential. Additionally, pets require time and attention for play and bonding.
In my country, the most popular pets are dogs and cats. Dogs are loved for their loyalty and playful nature, while cats are appreciated for their independence and calming presence. Other common pets include fish, birds, and small mammals like hamsters and rabbits.
Personally, I have a positive attitude towards keeping pets. I believe the benefits of pet ownership far outweigh the challenges. The companionship and joy that pets bring to our lives are invaluable. However, I also recognize that pet ownership is a serious commitment and not suitable for everyone. It’s crucial to consider one’s lifestyle, living situation, and ability to provide proper care before getting a pet. Overall, I think pets can greatly enrich our lives when we’re prepared for the responsibility they entail.
