Use the ideas in Ex. 5 to write an essay about the pros/cons of keeping wild animals as pets (about 90 words). Start your essay with a direct question.

Have you ever thought about having a tiger as a pet? Keeping wild animals might seem cool, but is it really a good idea?

On one hand, it could be exciting. Imagine having a unique pet that no one else has! Some people believe they can rescue animals and give them a better life. Also, some owners think they can properly care for a wild animal.

However, there are many problems. Wild animals are, well, wild! They can be dangerous and unpredictable. They need special food and habitats, which can be very expensive. It's also often cruel to keep them in cages or small spaces, away from their natural homes. Plus, owning some wild animals is against the law for good reason!

So, while a wild pet might sound interesting, it's usually not the best choice for the animal or for us.
