Emma and Matt give their opinions on this matter.Keeping pet dogs is a good idea, says EmmaKeeping pet dogs is a good idea. There are lots of reasons for #*thisFirst, dogs are really cute. Its nice to hold them
33、in our arms, and its wonderful to see them grow up.Second, we canlearn responsibility from keeping dogs.We have to feed them, train them and play with them. According to my mum, this helps us become more responsible people.Young people can learn how to care for others by keeping dogs.A dog will love
34、 you faithfully and bring you lots of happiness for many years.So I think its a good idea to keep pet dogs.Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea, says MattIts not a good idea to keep pet dogs.Pet dogs leave their hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed often.Dogs are noisy.
35、 Nearly all dogs bark at strangers. Some dogs bark more loudly than others. A few dogs bark all night. Thisstops people from getting any sleep. Not all dogs are friendly. A small number of pet dogs even attack people.Whats more,its common for people to live in flats. They have no choice but to keep
36、their dogs in small spaces. However, dogs need fresh air and large open spaces where they can run free.Finally, owning dogs can be expensive.So keeping pet dogs is not a good idea.头对头养宠物狗是个好主意吗？艾玛和 Matt 就这件事发表意见。艾玛说，养宠物狗是个好主意。养宠物狗是个好主意。这有很多原因首先，狗真的很可爱。把他们抱在怀里很美好，看到他们长大很美妙。其次，我们可以从养狗中学习责任。我们必须喂养它们，训练
37、它们并与它们玩耍。根据我妈妈的说法，这有助于我们成为更有责任感的人。#*年轻人可以通过养狗来学会如何照顾他人。狗会忠实地爱你，给你带来很多幸福。所以我认为养宠物狗是个好主意。Matt 说，养宠物狗不是个好主意。养宠物狗不是一个好主意。宠物狗把头发留在地板上、床上和沙发上，它们需要经常洗。狗很吵闹。几乎所有的狗都对着陌生人吠叫。有些狗比其他狗吠叫得更大声。一些狗彻夜吠叫。这使人们无法入睡。并非所有的狗都很友好。少数宠物狗甚至攻击人。更重要的是，人们通常住在公寓里。他们除了把狗放在狭小的空间里以外别无选择。然而，狗需要新鲜空气和大的开放空间，它们可以自由奔跑。最后，养狗可能很昂贵。所以养宠物狗不是个好主意。Unit 7 The unknown worldAliens arriveTina woke up at midnight.
