his name is 'Bull'.
Q. What kind of pets do people like to have in your country? 
Answer: Well, to tell the truth, most people in my country don’t really have 
much of a fascination for a pet. However, the rest of the people in my country, 
who like to have their pets, would choose cats, dogs, birds and fishes as their 
pets. 
Alternative Answer: Well, I don't have comprehensive data to answer this 
question from a broader perspective. However, from my own experience, I can 
say that people in my country love to have dogs, cats, fishes, ferrets, guinea pig, 
and hamsters. 
Q. 
What 
kinds 
of 
pets 
are 
common 
in 
your 
country? 
Answer: I would say that cats, dogs, birds and fishes are some common types of 
pets in my country. Some people choose wild animals, like rabbits, also as their 
pets.

kinds of birds, freshwater fishes, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs and turtles are 
some of the common kinds of pets in my country. 
Q. Do many people in your country have pets? [Why? /Why not?] 
Answer: No, as far as I know, most families in my country don't have pets at 
their home. I think around one out of ten families, in my country, have pets, 
primarily because our culture and tradition doesn’t exactly encourage us to have 
pets in our houses. 
Alternative Answer: Yes, I think a large percentage of people in my country 
have some kinds of pets at their home. I think it is something to do with the 
tradition, lifestyle and people's choice from generations.
