■ 問題
第2問
B You are the editor of a school English paper. David, an exchange
student from the UK, has written an article for the paper.
┌―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――┐
|Do you like animals? The UK is known as a nation of animal-lovers; two|
|in five UK homes have pets. This is lower than in the US, where more |
|than half of homes have pets. However, Australia has the highest |
|percentage of homes with pets! |
| |
|Why is this so? Results of a survey done in Australia give us some |
|answers. |
| |
| ……………………………………………………………………………………… |
| |
|Pet owners mention the following advantages of living with pets: |
|≫ The love, happiness, and friendship pets give (90%); |
|≫ The feeling of having another family member (over 60% of dog and |
| cat owners); |
|≫ The happy times pets bring. Most owners spend 3-4 hours with their |
| 'fur babies' every day and around half of all dog and cat owners let|
| their pets sleep with them! |
| |
|One disadvantage is that pets have to be cared for when owners go |
|away. It may be difficult to organise care for them; 25% of owners |
|take their pets on holidays or road trips. |
| |
| ……………………………………………………………………………………… |
| |
|These results suggest that keeping pets is a good thing. On the other |
|hand, since coming to Japan, I have seen other problems such as space,|
|time, and cost. Still, I know people here who are content living in |
|small flats with pets. Recently, I heard that little pigs are becoming|
|popular as pets in Japan. Some people take their pig(s) for a walk, |
|which must be fun, but I wonder how easy it is to keep pigs inside |
|homes. |
