Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual．

Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like．I am sure you just spent most of your time eating，sleeping and crying．As you grew older，you were awake more of the time。It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you．You watched and listened curiously（好奇地）．You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things．

Then you began to try making the sounds you heard。And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing．On that day you came to understand the secret of language．The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing．One sound might be as good as another．But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning．Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things，can they understand each other．Then, and only then do these people have a language．

After you found the secret of 1anguage．you learned words．Some of the words meant things，such as books，chairs and shoes．Some words meant doing things，such as “go” and “swim”．And other words describe things such as “good” and “dirty”．Soon you learned to put words together to express your idea，such as “I want to go out and play with my friends．”This is language．By means of（借助于）language people can communicate．

Life in modern cities become busier．Some people think we can't raise pets such as cats or dogs．We should spend our time on other things such as work．In my opinion，l think raising pets can relieve（減輕）our burden（壓力）of life．

Pets such as cats and dogs can bring us pleasure when we feel lonely and need a company.

Pets can entertain（使快樂）us．Maybe some people think we have no time to raise pets．But raising pets doesn't need a lot of time if we're not too lazy．In fact, raising pets isn't complicated（復(fù)雜的）．What we have to do to raise them is washing them，taking food to them and so on，Even if they have no use for anything，they'll not take you much time or energy．

In a word，pets will become our friends，we shouldn't be afraid of spending much time raising them．If you try to raise them．you'll find the interest in busy life．
