Ex: I do not think urban areas is an approporiate / suitable / proper place for having a pet, because townsfolk are always busy with their personal life and unable to set aside adequte time to take care of their buddies.
Effect of city environment on pets: do more harm than good to animals -> high level of noise and air pollution.

8. Are there many people keeping pets in Vietnam? What kinds of pet do people keep?

Most Vietnamese people love animals but I do not think many of them have a pet, because nowadays people have to live under so much pressure and they find difficult to set aside adequate time to have a buddy. Only a minority of wealthy families adopt some luxurious/lʌɡˈʒʊriəs/ animals as a way to show their social status.

People tend to choose domesticated animals like dogs or cat who suit the lifestyle of most Vietnamese people. They are adorable, friendly and inexpensive to take care of. Besides, a minority of wealthy families keep exotic animals like snake, scorpion or even tiger as a way to show their social status.

9. Do you have any pet? Have you had a pet when you were young?

Believe it or not but I suffer from zoophobia. I feel all kinds of animals, even domesticated one like dogs or cats are too mysterious and unpredictable to take care of. I don't want to touch them. I prefer enjoy their adorable films or movies rather than adopting them in the real life.

10. Which animals can be good pets, which ones can not be?

In my belief, domesticated animals like dogs and cats can be an appropriate choice because these animals suit the lifestyle of most owners. They are adorable, friendly and inexpensive to take care of. All what owners have to do is set aside adequate time to feed and play with them. Meanwhile, adopting wildlife animals like tigers, scorpions, are not banned in my country. They are too dangerous and unpredictable for untrained people to care for.

11. What pet would you want to keep?

Believe it or not I suffer from zoophobia. I am afraid of touching furry animals. So dogs or cats are definitely not my preference. I would like to have a fish which does not require a lot of affection and attention. Watching him swimming freely in his tank could relieve my stress.

12. What kinds of pet do you dislike?

I would never want to hold or spend time with cats. They are too mysterious, detached and unpredictable to take care of. I am afraid of the physical harm they may cause They are too creepy with their claws./klɔː/

Absolutely yes. Parents should let their children to have a pet. Taking care of their own buddy could teach them how to be responsible, they learn some practical skills like feeding or cleansing their cage.
