以下是引用pumpkin在2004-10-26 3:46:00的发言：Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- I think being very close to pet can be both a positive and a negative thing. Health professionals have concluded that having a pet is very healthy for everyone. People who have heart disease or similar health problems are often urged to get a pet because it can lower your their blood pressure. However, when people care their pets too much, they may get anxious (anxious is not suitable here) about their pets. If you they always worry about the pet getting lost or not getting the right food to eat, then that is not healthy for you.them. Frankly, the writer here did not provide enough argument for the first para. Most pets are very lovely and easy to be trained friendly. Therefore, they sometime become part of their owners' family. People treat their pets like the animals are their children. They set a place for their pets to eat with them at the same table, give their pets seperate rooms in the house and often talked to their pets as if the animal can understand. In these cases, the pets are not only an animal for entertaining or protecting the house but also something providing emotional support for their owners. However, when the owners become too indulged in their pets, the relationship can be ill because after all, animal can never act like a real person.
(Many pets are very loving lovely and it is easy to love them back.(awful English) Some people, though, go overboard. They treat their pets like one of the family. Sometimes they even set a place for them at the table or give them their own rooms in the house. They treat them as if they were children. Some pets are, in fact, substitutes for children. People need to keep their perspective about their pets. Dressing a pet up in clothes like a child is not emotionally healthy. Pets are animals and get confused if you expect them to act like human beings.) REVISED AS ABOVE FOR YOUR REFERENCE.
There are now stores devoted entirely to pets. They sell pet food, pet toys, pet clothes, and pet homes. Pets should be given appropriate food, and they should have a few toys, since they need some enjoyment just like humans do. However, some pet owners spend hundreds of dollars on supplies for their pets. There are children in the world who do not have clothes or food or toys. It would be better to give some of that money to charity. THIS PARAGRAPHA DOES NOT RESPONSE to the topic.
Feeling close to your pet can be very satisfying and healthy, as long as you do not overdo it. conclusion can be expanded a little bit.
I'm not NN in TWE. Just try to help. 
Honestly speaking, this is not a well written TWE. Points are not well presented and the whole article does not follow logic. Please seriously rewrite it.
BTW, pumpkin MM. I remembered you finished TOEFL long time ago. Whose clothes are you making for? )) (为谁做嫁衣裳呢？）And you got TWE 6.0, why don't you help revise them?
