【正确答案】1. Why do young people keep pets?
There are some young people keeping pets. Some of them keep dogs, and some of them keep other animals, for example, pigs, tortoises, frogs, golden fish or even snakes. Some young people think it is fashionable to keep some unusual animals as pets because their pets can attract other people's eyes. Others keep pets because they love animals and want to make friends with them.
2. Some people hate pets. What do you think about that?
I think everyone has his choice. Maybe some people think pets are dirty when they see piles of dog shit on the street or dogs peeing to the wheels of the cars which really makes one feel sick. Other people feel troublesome when their pets moult. They have to clean the house more frequently, otherwise the dog hairs or cat hairs will mess up the house.
3. Do you have any friends?
Yes. I have a lot of friends. I think I'm an easy-going person and I like making friends. It's good to talk with friends who have something common with you. But I have only a few close friends who can share sadness or happiness with me. To become close friends needs some time. It is more likely to become good friends in college when we are still young and innocent with little to care about each other's background.
4. Do you often go out with your friends?
Not quite often I think. We will talk to each other on the phone. Everyone is busy nowadays, and the traffic is crowded in our city. It costs a lot of time on subway or bus to go somewhere and meet someone. But we will gather once a month in a pub or eat out in a restaurant. It's comfortable to be with my friends.
5. What do you usually do when you are alone?
When I am alone, I like to read a book or watch a film or surf the internet. Sometimes I will call a friend. I like being alone. It's a time when I can do what I like. And when I'm alone, I can think about something important and find out what I really want.
