Are you ready for this?

    Are there any companions(同伴) better than pets? Who else can be so lovely and understanding? Not much beats(胜过) a pet to make you laugh after {#blank#}1{#/blank#} bad exam. Pets are cute {#blank#}2{#/blank#} friendly. But to keep one at home needs a lot of care and attention. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you want an animal at home, think {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(care) beforehand.. Do you have enough time to take care of it? What {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(happen) when it gets {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(big)? Talk to your parents to get some advice.

    The second question may be what pet {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (choose). Not all animals are good pets. Many wild ones carry diseases and can be dangerous for children. Some of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) need special care that you cannot give. If you want a pet from the wild, check that it is safe and healthy. When taking care {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your animals, make sure you always wash your hands. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (keep) pets teaches you care and responsibility. When animals feel you are kind to them, they pay you back. Animals have feelings too. So be kind to them.
