写作范文

Nowadays, pet raising has walked into the public spotlight. Debate on whether children could achieve benefits from taking care of pets has been heatedly discussed. Whether some people claim that it is a waste of time to raise pets, I disagree. In my opinion, raising pets could be an effective way to benefit children.

To begin with, during the course of pet-raising, children would realize how to maintain the responsibility. they would learn to cherish the hard work of their parents and become more considerate. Outwardly, taking care of a small anima appears to be a simple task. Only after assuming the duty could a child fully sense the difficulty in doing it well. Each step needs to be followed cautiously. He has to commit a series of complicated duties, including learning about habitual nature of the pet, preparing for the suitable amount of food to feed it in time, doing cleaning and even playing with it. These may remind them of what parents would do while taking care of their child. It is likely for the little pet owner to thoroughly understand the hardships his parents have undergone to bring him up. Accordingly, he will try to respect and cherish the hard work of their parents more than before. This should be the sign of his progress toward maturity.

In addition, raising pets allows children to experience the happiness of being devoted to others. No matter how many troubles they have encountered to feed their pets, these efforts shall never be made vainly. The process of care-taking fills them with enormous happiness. For example, my cousin brought home a schnauzer last summer and named it Coco. Every morning, he had to walk it in the park and feed her food and water. If he did not have to go to school, he would bring her to the lawn in the park and played frisbee with her. In the evening, he might take a shower with her as well. According to him, Coco is a company for him, and she is indispensable for him. Evidently, the wholehearted devotion granted to animals makes children appreciate the real essences of happiness. They may also realized that being devoted to others could make one’s life both meaningful and joyful.

In brief, taking care of pet animals could benefit children in two ways. On one hand, children could learn to maintain responsibility; on the other hand, they could also experience the sense of devotion, both of which are priceless value that might play important roles in their life.
