Everyone knows that animals are our friends. I think it is good that many families keep animals {#blank#}1{#/blank#} pets. Unluckily, some people do not care for their pets. Some do not feed their pets enough so they easily become {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Others do not give their pets a proper place to sleep. There are also people who actually {#blank#}3{#/blank#} /hɜːt/ their pets. I feel this is wrong. People should not treat (对待) their pets so {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (bad).

    The government of the United Kingdom is thinking of ways to help {#blank#}5{#/blank#} /prə'tekt/ pets--it's about rule! It's making some rules about {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to take care of different kinds of animals. What's more, the rules would even {#blank#}7{#/blank#} /ɪk'spleɪn/ ways to keep animals happy! They will make sure all the pets can live a good life. That is some {#blank#}8{#/blank#} news for pets, don't you think?

    The UK also wants to have special "pet police". They can go to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (people) homes to check that they are caring for their pets properly, or they can take animals away.

    I hope more people will now try to take {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) care of their pets than before. We should always keep in mind that animals are our friends and they should be loved the way they love us.
