Some people say that pets can bring ushappiness and help us in some special cases. However, some people believe thatkeeping pet is a waste of time and money. As for me, I think pets bring ushappiness. Reasons are listed below.

现在，人们在家中养宠物的现象很普遍。人们担心到底在家养宠物好不好。一些人认为在家养宠物可以带给我们快乐，并且在某些特殊情况下可以帮助我们。但是，一些人认为养宠物会浪费时间和金钱。就我来说，我认为养宠物能带给我们快乐。原因如下：

First of all, we won’t feel so lonely if wekeep pets. For most people, they are working outside while they don’t have anycompanions by their side. Hence, if they raise pets, then they can play withpets rather than stay alone. Besides, most people deem pets as their best friends.When people feel depressed, then they can talk to their pets to relievethemselves.

首先，我们养宠物不会感到孤单。许多人都在外面工作，没有同伴在身边。但是，如果养宠物的话，他们就不会自己呆着，而是有宠物相伴。而且，人们也会把宠物视为自己的好朋友，当感觉到难过的时候，宠物不会让他们太难过。

Secondly, pets can help us in some specialcases. You can ask your pets to do certain things for you to some extent. Forexample, we have many trained dogs that can guide the blind people to anywherethey want as if those dogs are their eyes.

第二，在一些特殊情况下，宠物可以帮助我们。在一定情况下，你能让你的宠物帮你做一些事情。例如，盲人会有导盲犬，像是盲人的眼睛一样，导盲犬可以带他们到任何他们想去的地方。

All in all, keeping pets at home benefitsus a lot. When we are depressed, pets can make us happy. What’s more, pets canhelp us in certain situations.

总之，在家养宠物能让我们获益良多。当我们郁闷的时候，宠物能让我们开心起来。而且，宠物在某些情况下能帮助我们。
