Pets
Life in modern cities becomes busier. Some people think we cannot raise pets such as cats or dogs. We should spend our time on other things such as work. In my opinion, I think raising pets can relieve our burden of life. Pets such as cats and dogs can bring us more pleasure when we feel lonely, and need a company. Pets can entertain us. Maybe some people think we have no time to raise pets. But raising pets doesn`t need a lot of time if we are not too lazy. In fact, raising pets is not complicated. What we have to do to raise them is washing them, taking food to them and so on. Even if they have no use for anything, they will not take you much time or energy.
In a word, pets will become our friends. We shouldn`t be afraid of spending much time raising them. If you try to raise them, you will find the interest in busy life.

宠物
现代城市生活十分忙碌。有些人认为我们不能养猫呀狗呀等宠物。我们应该把时间花在其他事情上，比说工作。依我之见，养宠物能缓冲生活带给我们的压力。
在我们感到孤独，需要伙伴的时候，猫和狗这样的宠物能给我们带来更多的快乐。宠物能使我们开心。也许有些人认为我们没时间来养宠物。但是如果我们不是太懒的话，养宠物并花不了多少时间。事实上，养宠物也不复杂。我们所必须做的事情也就是给它们洗洗澡，喂喂食，等等。即使它们毫无用处，它们也花不了你太多的时间和精力。
总之，宠物会成为我们的朋友。我们不必担心会花太多的时间。如果你试着去养宠物，你会在忙碌的生活中找到乐趣的。
