¹39 è ¹40 Is it a good idea for a child to look after a pet from a young age? (Ñî÷èíåíèÿ ÅÃÝ àíãëèéñêèé ÿçûê)

There is a good tendency for people to pay more and more attention to their children education. For this reason, parents use different ways to teach their children these qualities. They buy special toys, books and even give them pets. But is it a reasonable idea for a child to look after a pet?

In my opinion, it is not just a good idea, it is great. Firstly, taking care of a pet teaches a child how to be responsible and allows to improve this quality. Secondly, a home pet is like a close friend who is attentive, funny and curious, therefore, a kid will never be bored again. Thirdly, such relations between a child and a pet make kids friendlier and kinder with other pets and surely with other children.

However, some people think that it is not a good idea for a child to look after a pet.

They consider it is too early for children to have such an enormous responsibility. Both child and animal can harm each other in different ways. Besides, pets require loads of attention and care about it can be very distractive for the growing child.

Nevertheless, I believe that it is a great idea because a pet is like a bright sunshine ray, which supports you and improves your mood constantly. This influence will not be distractive vice versa it will help a child be more confident and calmer while speaking with other children.

In conclusion, it is worth to say that having a pet not only just affords a child increase numerous valuable qualities, but has more days of fun and happiness during school and household routine.

Dear Roger,

Thanks for your recent letter. I was glad to hear some news from you.

As for our country, football is the most popular and widespread sport here. By the way, I practice swimming because it helps me improve stamina and eliminate issues with my back. I would not like to become a professional athlete in swimming due to understanding how much time I will have to spend to attain this goal. Also, it means that I’ll have to miss many lessons at school, which is impossible if I want to pass my final exams successfully.

Anyway, what about your last visit to the museum? Where is this located? What kind of museum is it, historical or art? Did you learn something new there?

I’m sorry, now I need to help my parents. Write soon!

Best wishes,

Andrew
