I always wanted to raise a pet, but my mother refused because I even couldn’t look after myself well. But recently, my mother changed her attitude, she bought me a lovely cat as my birthday gift. I was very happy and promised to keep it well. Since raising this lovely creature, I became patient. When I bathed her, she struggled and tried to run away, then I had to grab it back. The most important thing was to feed food on time and clean the place that the cat lived. Sometimes I felt so dirty to do it, but I had made my promise and couldn’t break my words. I learned a lot from raising a pet. I started to consider my mother’s feelings when I became naughty. I needed to make some changes and be a better girl.

　　我一直想养一只宠物，但是我妈妈一直都在拒绝我，因为她觉得我连自己都照顾不好。但最近，我妈妈改变了她的态度，她给我买了一只可爱的猫作为我的生日礼物。我很高兴，承诺要好好的养护。自从养了这个可爱的生物之后，我变得有耐心。我给她洗澡时，她会挣扎，试图逃跑，我不得不把它抓回来。最重要的是要按时给它喂食物，还有把它住的地方弄干净。有时我觉得很脏，但是既然我做出了承诺，就不能食言。养宠物让我学到了很多，我开始体会到我调皮时妈妈的感受了。我需要做出一些改变，成为更好的女孩。
