IELTS WRITING TASK 2 (AC + GT)
In some countries, people spend a lot of money on their pets. They buy special food for their cats or dogs, buy them toys and often pay high fees for medical treatment. Some people think this is a waste of money. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a pet? Do people spend too much money on pets?
SAMPLE ANSWER
Many people keep a dog or cat or some other kind of pet in their homes. Although there is some expense involved in terms of good food and medical treatment, there are still many benefits to keeping a pet.
First of all, pets are good companions. This is especially important for people who live alone and for older people who do not go out much. Some pets can also help to protect the house from burglars. Second, clogs and cats like to play and can give hours of fun to children and adults. Children can also learn to be responsible when taking care of an animal and it also helps them to be more mature and reliable. Finally, the actual expense of feeding pets is not that high as they can eat the leftovers from family meals.
Some people claim that keeping pets is not hygienic. I do not think this is necessarily true. Responsible pet owners keep their pets clean and healthy 50 they do not smell bad. People also say that certain pets, such as large dogs, can be dangerous. Indeed there have been cases of dogs attacking and seriously injuring children. However, these attacks are rare, and are often the result of irresponsible owners who either do not train their clogs properly or actually train them to be aggressive. So, the issue of pets being unclean or dangerous is in fact often created by the owners, not the pets themselves.
To sum up, there are more benefits than drawbacks to keeping a pet, especially for elderly people and children. In most cases, therefore, the cost is justified.
