Ann: Jane, what's wrong with you? You look so sad.

Jane:Well, I want to have a dog but my parents are strongly against it. They are sure that a pet in a house will cause only troubles. I have to convince them that having a pet has a lot of advantages.

Ann:Maybe I could help? You know I have a cat at home and my grandparents have a dog. I sometimes walk with it in the park.

Jane:That would be great! I really don't know where to start.

Ann:Hmm… Well, you can tell your parents that a pet can become a member of the family. Pets are great friends and they are very loyal, especially dogs.

Jane:Great! That's a good point!

Ann:OK. What else? Let me think… I know! Taking care of a pet teaches us to be more responsible and...

Jane:Brilliant! I can tell them that I will feed and walk the dog myself!

Ann:Yes, good idea! And don't forget about the protection. If you have a well-trained dog, it can protect not only you, but also your house.

Jane:Cool! I haven't even thought about that. Now I want to have a dog even more than ever! Thank you so much for your help.

Ann:You're welcome and good luck!
