答案

Dear Lily,

I’m glad to hear that you can keep a pet. That sounds great. I’ve kept different kinds of pets before. So I’d like to give you some suggestion. Maybe you can keep some goldfish. Fish are easy to take care of. They are quiet and beautiful, but they are a little boring. If you want to have a good company, you can keep a cat. But cats are not friendly enough. In my opinion, I think you can keep a parrot. It’s beautiful. And also you can teach it how to speak. Isn’t that interesting?

Love,
