Keeping pets produce both positive and negative effects on people’s life. For one thing, it’s a good idea to keep pets because unaccompanied old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. For another, raising pets costs a large amount of money and, if too many people keep pets in cities, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise disturbing the neighbors and even attack people sometimes.
I am fond of animals and find it amazing to bond with such pets as dogs. I don’t think it is bad to keep pets at home even if we are in cities, but we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment or causing other troubles.

Many people have started go abroad for their holidays so that they can be more adventurous and visit more unusual places.
There are several advantages to going abroad. First of all, you can choose a country where you can choose a country where you can be more certain of good weather, and you can follow particular interests and hobbies, which may not be possible in your own country, such as scuba diving or wildlife holidays. In addition to this, you can learn about foreign language skills.
However, going abroad has some disadvantages. Although you can choose a country with better weather than your own, you may come into contact with unusual illnesses that your body is not used to. While you can follow particular interests and hobbies, you may not be able to speak the language of the people you meet who share your interests. What is more, even though you can learn about foreign cultures, you may find it difficult to adapt to these cultures; for example, attitudes to women may be different and difficult to accept.
In conclusion, personally, despite the disadvantages I prefer taking holidays abroad because I have an opportunity to learn more about the world.

Nowadays, a growing number of entertainment forms have mushroomed with the advancement of our living standards and the improvement of science and technology. The most popular entertainment forms include reading books, surfing the Internet, listening to music, watching films, etc.
Entertainment plays a crucial role in our life in that it benefits people in various ways. First, people can derive a lot of relaxation by doing something that they like in their leisure time.

Third, it can also be physically and mentally helpful. For example, I like dancing very much. I go dancing at regular basis. Thanks to it, I keep a very good shape and stay fit.
