Nowadays, some students think electronic dogs are much better than real dogs. Do you agree? Why or why not?______

I agree with the idea that electronic dogs are better, because they don't need to be fed or walked. For example, I am busy with schoolwork and can't take care of a real dog, but an electronic dog can be my friend without much effort. It is easy to keep.
I disagree with the idea. Real dogs are better because they can give us true love and real companionship. For example, when I felt sad last month, my real dog sat beside me and licked my hand, which made me feel better. However, electronic dogs can't show such warm, real feelings.

If you were to choose a pet like Tang Li, Li Chen and Zhou Jing, which one would you pick (cat, hamster, fish)? Why?______

I would choose a cat. Just like Li Chen said, cats are cute and clever. They can be good companions and don't need as much constant attention as some other pets. I like the idea of having a pet that can play with sometimes and also be independent, which fits my lifestyle.
