I'd like to give a talk about pets. Almost everyone I personally know has a pet or even several pets. Why is that? What makes people keep pets? I think that pets help people feel less lonely and add positive emotions to their lives. Having a pet is actually like having a true friend, and that is very important for each of us.

Pets are especially popular in big cities, where people are often tired of their exhausting daily routine and need a distraction.

Pets are a perfect solution here – they give their owners a chance to relax, take a walk and forget about work for a while.

As for me, I think that having pets is a very big responsibility. The matter is that pets cannot procure food or take care of themselves on their own. So, it's up to the owner to organize a decent life for their pet. If the owner isn't capable of that, it's better to abandon the idea of getting a pet, because it will lead to nothing but the animal's suffering.

To sum up, pets are our loving and faithful friends and they make our days brighter and happier.

Now I want to give a short talk about pets.

In recent decades, pets have become an essential part of people's life. I think the main reason for that is that people in the modern world have few friends and lack positive emotions. As a result, they are looking for something that can make their days brighter and more pleasant, and pets come as the best possible solution because they give people love and comfort.

According to some reports, pets are most popular in big cities. In my opinion, it is because everyday routine in big cities is rather boring, and pets can add fun to it. At the same time, I cannot fully agree with the statement – I think that pets are no less popular in small towns and villages. For example, in the village where I spend my summer holidays, you can see a lot of dogs, cats, hens, cocks and so on. But, of course, villagers hardly ever keep exotic animals like hamsters, snakes, turtles, etc.

Thinking about pets, I have come to the conclusion that pets are not for everyone, because keeping them is a huge responsibility. As an owner, you have to feed your pet, walk it regularly, play with it, cure its diseases and take care of it in general. It is actually very hard, and if you are not ready for the difficulties, it is not a good idea to get a pet.

To sum up, pets are a big responsibility, but they give people happiness and that is why are becoming more and more popular in the modern world.
