Domestic animals can be divided into two groups: farm animals and pets.

Farm animals

Farmers usually raise such animals as cows, sheep, horses, pigs, rabbits. But in some Eastern countries people keep donkeys, camels, yaks and even elephants on their farms.

Some domestic animals work for people. Some of them give people food. Pigs give meat. Cows and goats give milk. Hens, ducks, geese, turkeys give meat and eggs.

Pets

A lot of people keep animals at home for pleasure. They are called pets. People usually prefer small animals, for example, rabbits, guinea pigs, white mice, hamsters and sometimes birds.

But the most popular pets are dogs and cats. Some dogs guard and protect their owner’s houses. Cats are not so loyal as dogs, but they can help people, too. They catch mice and rats.

Sometimes people keep exotic animals: iguanas, snakes, frogs, small crocodiles and even tigers. But in my opinion it’s not a good idea to keep a snake or a tiger at home because it can be really dangerous.

Every child wants a pet to play with, but animals are not toys. They need everyday care. You must keep their baskets and cages clean, remember to feed them regularly. Many animals such as large dogs suffer if they are kept in small city apartments.

Why do we need pets?

We know that our pets need us. We look after them and give them home. But now doctors are saying that we need them, too. Experts believe that pets can help you stay healthy and live longer.

Pets are very good friends. They don’t ask for much and they always love you. Children learn how to be kind to their pets, and how to look after them. So, having pets can really change our lives for the better.

Домашние животные могут быть разделены на две группы: сельскохозяйственные животные и питомцы.

Сельскохозяйственные животные

Фермеры обычно разводят таких животных как коровы, овцы, лошади, свиньи, кролики. Но в некоторых восточных странах люди держат ослов, верблюдов, яков и даже слонов на своих фермах.

Некоторые домашние животные работают для людей. Некоторые из них дают людям еду. Свиньи дают мясо. Коровы и козы дают молоко. Курицы, утки, гуси, индюки дают мясо и яйца.

Питомцы

Многие люди держат животных дома для удовольствия. Их называют питомцами. Люди обычно предпочитают маленьких животных, например, кроликов, морских свинок, белых мышей, хомяков и иногда птиц.

Но самые популярные домашние животные – собаки и кошки. Некоторые собаки охраняют и защищают дом своего хозяина. Кошки не так верны, как собаки, но и они могут помогать людям. Они ловят мышей и крыс.

Иногда люди содержат экзотических животных: игуан, змей, лягушек, маленьких крокодилов и даже тигров. Но, по моему мнению, это не очень хорошая идея держать змею или тигра дома, потому что это может быть крайне опасно.

Каждый ребенок хочет питомца, чтобы играть с ним, но животные – это не игрушки. Им нужен ежедневный уход. Вы должны содержать их корзины и клетки чистыми, не забывать их регулярно кормить. Многие животные, такие как большие собаки, страдают, если их держат в небольших городских квартирах.

Зачем нам нужны питомцы?

Мы знаем, что нашим питомцам нужны мы. Мы заботимся о них и даем им дом. Но теперь врачи говорят, что и мы нуждаемся в них. Специалисты считают, что питомцы могут помочь вам быть здоровыми и жить дольше.

Питомцы – очень хорошие друзья. Они не просят многого и всегда любят вас. Дети учатся быть добрыми к своим домашним животным и заботиться о них. Таким образом, содержание питомцев может действительно изменить нашу жизнь к лучшему.

There are a lot of people who like animals.

And many of them keep some animals at home. Such animals are called pets. They are cats, dogs, hamsters, white mice and so on. They know their masters and love them. And all the pets need their master’s care and love. Dogs can be good friends to lonely people, cats can cure some illnesses and bad mood.

I love cats very much. I have one at home. My cat’s name is Alice. She is four years old, but she is rather small. Alice has very beautiful eyes and when it is dark in the room they shine. She likes to play and to sleep, but most of all she likes to eat. Some cats walk outdoors. My cat hates it. She thinks that a domestic cat should stay at home. But in general it is a cat that walks by herself.

Домашние любимцы

Есть много людей, которые любят животных.

И многие из них держат животных в домашних условиях. Такие животные называются домашними животными. Это кошки, собаки, хомячки, белые мыши и так далее. Они знают своих хозяев и любят их. Все животные нуждаются в заботе хозяина и любви. Собаки могут быть хорошими друзьями для одиноких людей, кошки могут лечить ряд заболеваний и плохое настроение.

Я очень люблю кошек. У меня есть одна дома. Её зовут Алиса. Ей четыре года, но она маленькая. У Алисы очень красивые глаза, и когда темно в комнате, они блестят. Она любит играть и спать, но больше всего она любит поесть. Некоторые кошки гуляют на улице. Моя кошка ненавидит это. Она считает, что домашняя кошка должна сидеть дома. Но в целом это кошка, которая гуляет сама по себе.

Topic: Domestic Animals

Тема: Домашние животные

Only about three dozen out of over two thousand animal spices inhabiting our planet are domesticated animals. Domestic animals are not only pets that live in our flats or houses, and are human friends. This group also includes livestock that lives on farms and brings certain profit to people. And sometimes poultry such as hens, turkeys or ducks is referred to domestic animals as well.

Всего около трех десятков из более двух тысяч видов животных, населяющих нашу планету, являются одомашненными. Домашние животные – это не только любимцы, которые живут в наших квартирах и домах и являются друзьями человека. Эта группа также включает скот, живущий на фермах и приносящий определенную пользу людям. А иногда и птицу – кур, индеек, уток также относят к домашним животным.

Probably, most people speaking about domestic animals, first of all, mean their pets – cats, lap dogs, hamsters, turtles, parrots and so on. These animals are usually useless, and people keep them just for their own pleasure. Sometimes people have in their homes more exotic animals – rats, ferrets, and even reptiles and small crocodiles. But, to my mind, it’s not a good idea to keep snakes at home. They will hardly ever see you as friends, and meanwhile they are dangerous. As for me, the only pet I have is a white angora cat Angela. It is very fluffy. I brought it home when it was just two months old. Then it was a small and playful kitten. Now it has turned into a serious five year-old cat, which spends most of the day sleeping on the sofa.

Пожалуй, большинство людей, говоря о домашних животных, прежде всего, имеют в виду своих домашних любимцев – кошек, комнатных собачек, хомячков, черепашек, попугайчиков и так далее. Эти животные обычно бесполезны, и люди держат их просто для собственного удовольствия. Иногда люди заводят дома более экзотических животных – крыс, хорьков, и даже рептилий и маленьких крокодилов. Но, на мой взгляд, это не очень хорошая идея – держать дома змей. Они вряд ли когда-нибудь будут относиться к вам как к друзьям, и в то же время они опасны. Что касается меня, то единственное домашнее животное, которое у меня есть – это белая ангорская кошка Анжела. Она очень пушистая. Я принесла ее домой, когда ей было всего два месяца. Тогда это был маленький и игривый котенок. Сейчас она превратилась в серьезную пятилетнюю кошку, которая проводит большую часть дня лежа на диване.

Apart from pets, there is another category of domestic animals. It involves animals that are kept on farms or in paddocks and bring profit to people. This profit can be expressed in the form of food and non-food products (milk, meat, eggs, wool, feather and so on), or in the form of work force (transportation of goods, plowing or hunting, if we speak about hunting dogs). Of course, these animals are more typical for rural districts, not for cities. In our country farmers usually breed such animals as cows, sheep, pigs, goats and horses. But in foreign countries people use camels, elephants, yaks, donkeys as domestic animals.

Помимо домашних любимцев, есть и другая категория домашних животных. Она включает в себя животных, которые содержатся на фермах или в загонах и приносят пользу людям. Эта польза может быть выражена в форме пищевых и непищевых продуктов (молоко, мясо, яйца, шерсть, перо и т.д.) или в форме рабочей силы (транспортировка грузов, пахота или охота, если речь идет об охотничьих собаках). Конечно, эти животные более типичны для сельской местности, а не для города. В нашей стране фермеры обычно разводят таких животных как коровы, овцы, свиньи, козы и лошади. Но в других странах люди используют в качестве домашних животных верблюдов, слонов, яков, ослов.

Unfortunately, I live in the city, not in the countryside, so, I cannot keep any big animals. Sometimes I think that if I lived in a big private house instead of a flat, I would have a horse. In my opinion, the horse is one of the cleverest and the most beautiful animals in the world. Horses can understand people as well as dogs; they love their masters, and they are faithful friends for

Animals

In Western countries, people spend a lot of money on their pets. They buy special food and toys for their cats and dogs and often pay high fees for medical treatment. Some people think this is a waste of money, and argue that pets are dirty and dangerous.
In many Western countries people are fond of keeping pets. However, others say that pets are often dangerous and aggressive.
Personally, I think that people can benefit from pets in many ways. First of all, animals are usually devoted to their owners and love them. You will hardly feel lonely and depressed if you have a pet. Secondly, pets help people stay healthy. For example, doctors have found out that people who have high blood pressure feel much better when they stroke pets and talk to them. What is more, pets encourage their owners to get out and exercise. Dog owners usually spend much time walking which helps them improve their overall health. It is a well-known fact that people who have pets are happier and live longer than those who don"t.
But many people say that they are too busy to take care of animals. Others think that it is too difficult and time-consuming to keep pets. Cats, dogs, birds, fish, hamsters and other creatures require not only human love and kindness but also food, medical care, training and shelter. You must feed them regularly, keep them clean, go to the veterinarian for their yearly checkup and so on. It takes much effort and causes extra expenses. It is also obvious that animals make a lot of noise, may look untidy and disturb the members of your family.
To conclude, it"s important to realize that owning a pet is a great responsibility and additional work. However, for most people, the advantages of having a pet outweigh the disadvantages. Anyway, everybody must remember that all pets need love and care just as people do.

Some people believe that animals without owners should have the right to live on the streets in cities. Others say that they could be dangerous and should be collected and found new homes, or even put down.
Unfortunately, many cats and dogs suffer abandonment, cruelty and neglect nowadays. Some of us think that it is quite normal and there is no need to change the situation. But others are convinced that some urgent measures must be taken in order to improve the lives of homeless animals.
To my mind, the lives of homeless cats and dogs are full of hardships: they starve, catch different diseases and suffer from cold and people"s cruelty. Furthermore, they may be rather dangerous because people may get infection from them. Besides, stray dogs may attack people and even kill them. In my opinion, living on the street is not a right, but a necessity for poor creatures that have no choice. I think that volunteers should catch homeless animals, provide them with food and medical care and try to find home for them. But I am against killing homeless cats and dogs because I find it inhumane.
On the other hand, some people believe that many owners cannot provide good homes for their pets and the full lives that they deserve. Living in our homes animals must obey commands and can only behave how people allow them to. Dogs, cats, or birds want to be free, but they are confined to a house, yard or cage. But I think that domesticated animals are not able to survive on their own in the wild and it is cruel to throw them out on the streets.
To sum up, people must be responsible for both domesticated and wild animals. I believe that homeless animals are a serious social problem that must be solved as soon as possible.

Some people keep exotic animals as pets nowadays. Others say that it is difficult and dangerous to take care of unusual pets.
Today some people keep rare and unusual animals in their houses. But do alligators, tigers, crocodiles, snakes or raccoons feel comfortable living with people? And is it safe to keep such animals as pets?
Personally, I think that owners of exotic animals are going to have many problems with them. Firstly, many professionals, including veterinarians and zoologists strongly discourage the keeping of exotic animals as pets, as their needs may be difficult to meet by the average owner. Providing appropriate environmental conditions, housing and diet for an exotic animal may be rather difficult. Secondly, unlike cats and dogs, exotic animals have not been domesticated and remain wild. Even if they are raised by humans, they may be unpredictable, aggressive and dangerous, especially as full-grown adults. Finally, some animals are known to carry diseases that can affect humans.
However, some people say that having an exotic pet is funny and "cool". They are fond of showing their pets to their friends and relatives who cannot stop admiring these rare animals. Besides, the information about many commonly kept reptiles, birds and small exotic mammals is widely available through literature, Internet websites and discussion forms. Although having an exotic pet is sometimes challenging, it is generally very interesting and rewarding. But I believe that most animals feel much better in their natural homes where they have the right climate, food and exercises that meet their needs.
To conclude, most countries have the laws that forbid people to keep exotic animal as pets. To my mind, the government must strictly control the trade of some exotic animals around the world in order to prevent any threats to their survival and ecological damage.

Many people enjoy visiting zoos. Others believe that animals should not be taken from their natural surroundings and put into zoos.
A lot of people, especially children, are fond of going to the zoo. There they have an opportunity to look at wild animals, exotic birds, insects, reptiles and fish. When we come to the zoo, we can see animals that we would never have a chance to see in our country. But is it right to keep animals in the zoo?
Personally, I think that animals should live in their natural habitats. Animals that live in zoos are confined within enclosures and displayed to the public. It is difficult to create ideal captive environments for some species and sometimes animals have to live in bad conditions and look miserable and untidy. They may suffer from lack of space, comfort and good food. Some wild animals feel stressed in captivity. Sometimes they are kept in such small cages that they are unable to turn around. Besides, in spite of prohibition many visitors give animals food that may do harm to their health and cause different diseases.
However, some zoos keep fewer animals in larger, outdoor enclosures, rather than in cages. For instance, safari parks allow visitors to drive through them and come in close contact with the animals. What is more, most modern zoos display wild animals primarily for the conservation of endangered species, as well as for research purposes and education, and secondarily for the entertainment of visitors. But I still believe that animals feel much better without people"s control.
To sum up, I think that the conservation and educational role of zoos should be strengthened. All zoos must be inspected and licensed, and all animals must be provided with a suitable environment.

Most people are convinced that a digital pet cannot substitute a real one. Others suggest that digital pets are preferable for a number of reasons.
Some children keep digital pets instead of real ones for companionship or enjoyment. But a lot of people doubt that the relationship with robotic animals can have a good effect on a child.
I strongly feel that digital pets can never be compared with real cats, dogs and other animals. They do not even have concrete physical form. Instead of a cute little kitten or a funny puppy, you have a palm-sized computer with a small screen. I doubt that feeding, washing or playing with the digital pet may be interesting and rewarding. Nevertheless, some children believe that their digital pets are really alive and they feel extremely unhappy if their virtual cats and dogs fall ill or die. In addition, it is quite possible to become addicted to the digital pet. Some children play with them when they should be doing something else, for example, their homework.
But some people believe that digital pets have a number of benefits. Firstly, a relationship with the digital pet teaches children that their desires cannot always come first. It can also teach boys and girls to be responsible because the digital pet requires constant attention, otherwise it will "die". Secondly, having a digital pet is a good training before adopting a real animal. Finally, digital pets can successfully substitute real ones for children who cannot care for a real pet, such as those who suffer from allergies.
To sum up, digital pets are usually predictable and they cannot give us as much joy and satisfaction as real ones. Anyway, parents should take into consideration all advantages and disadvantages before buying a digital pet to their children.
