Some specialists say that it is good for children to have a pet of their own. However, there are arguments both for and against it.

One of the main advantages is that have a pet is good to children who haven't brothers because with it, they can play and have a close relationship. The pets provide company and also produce to children not feel alone.

On the other hand, having a pet is a big responsibility that children can't take over. Moreover, they are very exciting at first with the new pet but, as they grow, the feeling is increasingly indifferent.

On balance, I would say that children wouldn't have a pet since they are, at least, 14 years old because parents always end up taking care of them.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a pet for elderly people?

Publicado por Dani Morales Fernández |


Many people, when arriving at old age, opt for buying a pet. However, this decision has its pros and cons.

On one hand, one of the main advantages is that some animals such as dogs or cats can provide the company that people reaching this age desire. Furthermore, can avoid feeling bored because having a pet implies accomplishing a number of obligations as feeding the pet or taking it for a walk.

On the other hand, maintaining a pet is not as easy as it seems. Firstly, old people sometimes have trouble moving, so having to take the pet for a walk might be a difficult task to carry on with. Secondly, maintaining it and taking it to the vet for shots and, in case of illness, operating it is not cheap so not everybody can afford it.

All in all, I would say that although owning a pet has some disadvantages, is really positive for elderly people. Nevertheless, for the sake of the pet, they ought to ask themselves whether they are going to be able to accomplish with all the obligations before getting it.

Short story:


Super Boby.

This is the true story about Boby, a hero in his town for the simple reason of saving his master’s live.

One day, Antonio Velázquez, a farmer, took his cows to graze with a big bull because the caws were on heat. He left the cows with the bull and came back 3 hours later. Suddenly, when he apeared in the grazing field, the bull started to run toward him catching and hitting him. When everything seemed to be lost, Boby came running to save his master.

Super Boby started beating the big angry bull legs making him go back protecting Antonio to the death the bull left Antonio alone thanks to this dog, is also thanks to him that Antonio is still alive.This fact, the animal helper, makes me think about all that people who tortures animals turning into animals themselves in conclusion, give love to animals because animals are all love.

Discussion essay: Owning a pet

Publicado por Aloma R. |


Owning a pet is something common between the elderly. Nowadays, the streets are full of pet shops and even hairdressers for dogs and cats. However, owning a pet can have its pros and its cons for an old person.
In the one hand, a pet may be a good company for those old men and women who live alone. For an old person, finding hobbies can be difficult and owning an animal makes their every-day life less boring. In addition, owning a pet is an interesting way to make them feel responsible about something.
In the other hand, it might be difficult for someone old to take care of an animal, considering all that it implies: buying food and feeding it, taking it for a walk –in case it is a dog–… Moreover, for people with mobility problems, it can be a danger to have a pet in their house, as they could trip and fall.
Owning a pet is, indeed, a big responsibility but I still consider it a good idea for old people who like animals. Even the inconveniences of feeding and taking care of it, it can always be a good companion for those feeling lonely.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a pet for children?

Publicado por Anna Martínez |

In most homes, where children live, there is also a pet. However, there are arguments both for and against it.
 
 
One of the main advantages is that children can interact with the pet and have more responsibility by having to deal with it. Another argument in favour for children owning a pet is that they learn whats is the love and they feel loved by the pet. Owning a pet is good for children with certain diseases because it is used as therapy.
 
 
On the other hand, depending on the type of pet they have, it can be dangerous for children and they are exposed to danger. Moreover, the child has not sufficient responsibility to take care of a pet, although this fact helps a little bit.

On balance, I would say that although they are positive in some ways of children's life, pets should be controlled when they are with them by the parents. However, I think that they are sometimes more affectionate that people.

Publicado por joan |

Last summer, three male lions released a 14-year-old girl of the hands of two kidnappers in Somalia. These two men, that turned out to be pirates, used to hit and beat the girl in order to accept to marry one of the pirate's son.

The son had fallen in love with the girl very young, but his father denied him to see her because her family didn't have money, they were extremely poor. However, when gas deposits were discovered just below her house, her family recieved a large amount of money to leave the place. At this time, the father of the boy accept his child to ask her to hung out and, later, to marry her, but it was then when the girl said no to the boy. The father suddently became extremely angry and decided to kidnap her with the help of a friend to change her mind.

Fortunately, three days after the kidnapping, three lions appeard and scared the kidnappers. These ran away and never came back. A few days later, the family found the girl. She was dehydrated, but she managed to recover herself. Sometimes lions are not dangerous but the other way round!

"The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities"

Publicado por joan |

Before 1672, when gossip magazines showed up, there were just newspapers in which people could read interesting news about economics and politics. Nowadays, unfortunately, in the newstands, there are more gossip mazagazines than newspapers.  They tell us the private life of famous people, althought they constantly ask pararazzo to stop.


In first place, press has always tried to call the atraction of the readers by publishing compromising information. In addition, sometimes they distort reality in order to earn a bigger amount of money. In my point of view, despite press has not the intention of hurting anybody, they do it unconsciously. They cause a lot of pain. 

In second place, the people who surround famous people, family and friends, basically, can also be offended. Press are capable of making up an argument between a famous and a friend. This is a fact. Those people deserve some recpect too.

To sum up, I would like to say that press should not be always able to publish certain things that put into a embarrasing situation somebody. I think and support that famous people, as human beings they are, they must be respected and have their own intimate moments.

Post Scryptum:
I apologize for what happened in the previous essay.
