Families living on welfare grants also have the right to keep a pet.Ideas for reference:Raising a pet animal in a poor household does not involve much money.The presence of a pet

21、 animal in a poor household indicates the special mental needs of those disadvantaged people.A loyal pet is a mute but eloquent argument against the necessity of many worldly possessions.Sample:Nowadays, there has been much controversy over whether receivers of poor relief should be allowed to raise

22、 an animal as a pet. Some believe that if a household can afford to support an extra creature besides themselves, then it is not really in such financial straits that qualify it for governmental provision. But others dont think so. And they believe that raising a pet animal in a poor household does

23、not involve much money. Instead, it requires lots of care and attention, of which a poor family often has a large supply. Under no circumstances would they ever abandon their pet which has long kept them company and has perhaps been regarded as one of them. The presence of a pet animal in a poor hou

24、sehold indicates the special mental needs of those disadvantaged people. As much as one needs to feel loved and find desired help always available in this world, one needs to feel that they have the power to love and help others. To that need a pet answers precisely. Powerless and dependent, a pet r

25、elies on its owner to live a decent life, unlike those stray animals which were exposed to a whole variety of risks and miseries. In addition, a loyal pet is a mute but eloquent argument against the necessity of many worldly possessions. People who have almost nothing to their names want to believe

26、in that. From what have been discussed above, we may easily come to the conclusion that poor families should be allowed to keep their pets.2. Receivers of unemployment benefits should not be allowed to keep a pet.Ideas for reference:Many dogs running around in the residential quarters are owned by s

27、uch jobless benefit receivers.Reports of wealthy people living on welfare grants are carried in newspapers now and then.Government should take its responsibility and make its policy be carried out soundly, letting those who are really in need benefit from it.Sample:Recently, my mother has an unhappy

28、 experience attacked by a fierce dog in our apartment building when she was just back from work. Not by sheer chance, the beast is owned by a jobless woman in her late forties, living on a monthly grant from the government. Actually many of the notorious dogs running around in our residential quarte

29、rs are owned by such jobless benefit receivers. However, many of them are not really poor. The woman who pets the bad dog that attacked my mother, for example, is quite a wealthy lady. Her husband has a good job with a high income. Her son is studying in America. The dog which she walks and shows of

30、f in our neighborhood is only the solid evidence of their comfortable life. How unfortunate the society it is and reports of such wealthy people living on welfare grants are carried in newspapers now and then. They take advantage of the current social relief policy and get to enjoy governmental supp

31、ort by telling lies about their financial situation. But their pets give them away. Their unemployment has come as a result of their own choice. Unfair! That is unfair to honest people, who work hard to earn their own living and provide for their children, without extra time, money, or energy to rai

32、se a pet. Admittedly there are jobless pet-owners who live a miserable life. They were just forced out of work, and their pets are a source of consolation for them. In spite of that, the presence of these pets is a slap in the face for the millions of poorest people confined in the least developed a

33、reas of the country. Hard as they might work, they are unable to keep body and soul together. It is a slap in the face for those unfortunate children who drop out of school because of poverty. In this case, we need to say that government should take its responsibility and make its policy be carried

34、out soundly, letting those who are really in need benefit from it. All in all, Im strongly in favor of the proposal that pet-owners be denied unemployment relief.Listening ExercisesListen to the following passage and supply the missing information.In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of

36、nstant motion .A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized , scientists design experiments to test the theory . If observations confirm the scientists predictions, the theory is supported . If observations do not confirm the predicti
