    PETS
    Many people like to keep pets. Some just have one pet while other people
    keep many different pets. This often depends on if they live in a big or
    small house. If a person lives in a small house, or even a flat or apartment,
    they cannot keep a lot of pets as there is not enough room. If people live in
    a big house that has a garden then they will be able to keep more pets and
    bigger ones.

    could keep a bird or two as these are very interesting pets. They have
    brightly colored feathers and make nice chirping sounds. If you have a parrot it can even learn to
    talk, but it takes a long time to teach it to say some words. If a bird is too noisy then they could keep
    some cute animals like mice, gerbils or hamsters. These are all nice and fluffy so you can take them
    out of their cages and play with them. Fish are also a type of pet for people without much space or
    time. They just need some food and their bowl or tank cleaning sometimes.

    People that have more space and time to look after a pet could keep something bigger that needs
    more care, such as a dog or cat. Cats do not need to be looked after as much as a dog, but they get
    lonely if there is no one there with them. They often like to have someone to sit with and who
    strokes them. This makes them happy and they start to purr. If someone has a dog they need to
    take it out for walks so that it can get exercise. It is good to take a dog out twice a day. Dogs need
    exercise so they cannot be kept in the house all the time.

    There are then pets that need a very large amount of space. These would be animals such as
    horses or donkeys, it could even be a domestic pig. For these animals a person needs more than a
    big garden, they need a field so the animal has space to move and run around, as well as grass to
    eat. These are types of animals that would generally not come into the house and the owners would
    only spend part of the day with them.
