I want a pet. But my mom won’t let me have one. She thinks keeping a pet will take up my study time. She also thinks cats and dogs have many germs1.

I had several pets as a child – fish, a bird and two dogs. They can be messy2 at times. I had to spend time each week feeding and cleaning up after them. I fed (喂食) the fish and changed their water several times a week. I cleaned the birds’ cages at least once a week. I gave the dogs baths. I walked them. Perhaps you can ask your mom for a fish. This will give you a chance to learn what it’s like to have a pet. Take good care of it and work hard on your homework. Your mom will be impressed3. And later she might let you have a little turtle (海龟)!
