BAND 5.5 IELTS ESSAY SAMPLE: DISCUSSING THE MAIN PURPOSE OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION - JOB PREPARATION VS. CRITICAL THINKING

Did you know how many homeless pets are dead in the street because of getting hit by cars or starving? Nowadays, many families are so small and have a child or two. Therefore, it will be a wise decision to bring home a pet as a new member of the family. Keeping pets at home will have many good effects on the pets’ and the families’ health and also make society safer. Keeping pets at home keep them physically healthier. Pets are domestic animals who are kept by humans because they can’t survive alone. Sometimes they are killed or eaten by wild animals or died because of many reasons, like starvation, accident, or so forth. I remember last year my cousin found an injured cat in the street and she brought her home, cured his injury, and kept it at home. Now the cat is a lovely member of their family and they are getting used to the cat. Also, keeping pets at home has many health benefits for the family members. Nowadays, because of stressful lifestyles, parents have many mental diseases that affect children. It is proven by scientists that keeping pets can reduce the stress of the family, improve heart health, and make the family happier. I remember 3 years ago that my uncle was living alone because of his wife’s death and he was so depressed. After about a year he brought home a husky and his life changed, surprisingly. He was not alone anymore and he was over the moon. Keeping pets at home make society a safer place, too. As we see frequently on the streets, there are many homeless pets there, and some of them are badly injured that sometimes causes them to become wild and invade people. Also, sometimes a sudden jump of a pet in a street can cause a serious accident. When people keep pets at home and the government gathers homeless animals we will have a safer society. I have read a piece of news in a newspaper about a country where the people were bothered by homeless animals that the government gathered them and people volunteered to keep them after vaccination and cure and most of them were so happy because of such a wise decision. In conclusion, keeping pets at home will make life better for humans. I hope people pay more attention to keeping homeless animals at home regardless of their breeds.
