Dear Ben,
Thank you for your email. I am glad to hear from you.
You asked me a few questions about pets, and I would like to answer them now. In my opinion, some people don’t want to have any pets because it takes a lot of time and patience to look after them. Also, it is not so cheap. Frankly speaking, I do not approve of keeping exotic pets like spiders or snakes at home since they are dangerous and may hurt others. Better safe than sorry, you know. As far as my country concerned, cats and dogs are very popular here.
Excuse me, I have to finish my email now.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Igor
