Hey!I saw your cat!
I think that some people don't want to have pets,cause you must walk with them.
Yeah!I so fear exotic pets.In my opinion they horrible.
In my country are many popular pets.For example:"Husky" it's most popular dog.

Dear Ben,

Thanks for your recent letter. It was great to hear from you again.

You asked me about pets. Well, I think some people refuse to have pets because it's a great responsibility. Besides, they have to spend time and money on them. Personally, I don't approve of keeping such unusual pets as lizards or different insects. I believe they should live in their natual habitat.
As for the most common pets in Russia, I should say that these are cats, dogs, budgies and hamsters. It's easy to look after them.

That's all for now. Write back soon.

Love, Mary
