▶ Your Answer : Nowadays, we can easily see a number of pictures in magazines and tabloids that show that celebrities are taking a walk with their pets. In many parks, there are also a lot of people playing with pets. I firmly think that this trend is desirable, since the relationship with pets makes people keep in shape and their lives dynamic.
First of all, having a close relationship with pets has a positive influence on both physical and mental health. This is because people, who have pets, are more likely to have opportunity to walk regularly with their pets, which is an important factor for people to stay healthy. In addition, a variety of studies have proven that people, who take care for their pets, are mentally healthier than people, who do not have any pet, because those people exchange dialogue and love with pets, so that they relieve their stress by expressing their thoughts and emotions and feel less lonely. For example, my grandfather used to be a humorous and strong man. However, after his wife died, he was so depressed that he did not eat properly and talk much. Fortunately, after he started raising a little dog as his doctor suggested, he began to walk every day for an hour with his dog and become lively and talkative. If it had not been for the dog, he would not have been able to overcome the sadness and recover his health. Furthermore, having pets allows people to have much more fun in their everyday life. These days, the number of people, who are living alone, is greatly increasing for many reasons, such as jobs and schools located in remote places from their hometowns. Many of them feel that their lives are dull, because they spend most of their time alone for their free time. Although they can have fun by themselves through playing computer games and watching television programs, the pleasure would not be sufficient, if they cannot share the happiness with someone. In this respect, being with pets itself can make people feel much better and people’s free time funnier. For example, one of my friends is living alone, since her college is far from her parents’ house. She said that she cannot adapt to the silent home whenever she comes home from school and doesn’t know what to do after finishing studying. Finally, she began to raise a dog, play a ball game and take a walk with her dog whenever she is free. Thanks to the dog, she doesn’t feel her life is monotonous anymore. In conclusion, I strongly believe that having an intimate relationship with pets is beneficial for people to stay physically and mentally healthy. Furthermore, people's lifestyle can be energetic with pets. On the whole, pets can be lifelong friends with people. |
