I believe that pets give us some benefits. Some people might think that pets are cute but it’s a little bit troublesome because they require a great deal of care and I also thought like that. I like animals and I heard that pets give us many benefits but I still thought that there’s a lot of trouble that caused by pets. They throw down stuffs and scratch wallpaper and ruin the room.

However, loneliness made me want to bring a pet, so I brought my cat, and after I started to keep my pet, I changed my mind. Now I understand why people say pets give them joy. So I want to explain the fact about benefits that pets give us.

First, pets give us mental stability and joy. I am happy just thinking of my pet. When I am with my pet, especially, when I sleep with my pet, it’s so peaceful and relaxed. And when my cat come to me and act charming, I feel so happy because the thing that some creature which can’t speak human language but can commune with me and take to me is so heartwarming.

And in the old days, I thought that if a pet cause trouble I would be very upset and frustrated. However I don’t get angry at all even though my cat rummage trash can and eat the foods that she’s not allowed to eat. Because although she acts like trouble maker, she’s still so cute. So I can’t mad at her. It shows that pets give you lots of joy and happiness.

In fact, according to studies, pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets. And also, Playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax. And people with pets have lower blood pressure in stressful situations than those without pets. As these research result, pets actually can improve mood and health.

Second, if you keep a pet, pets can help you make healthy lifestyle changes. After I had my cat, I became more diligent because I have to do care my pet a lot. I have to clean my cat’s toilet, feed her food, brush her hair and so on. And also I clean up my room everyday because if I don’t clean up, it becomes a mess soon. And if you have a dog, you need to take your dog for a walk, so it increases exercise. Pets can give you not only mental benefits but also healthier lifestyle.

However, I’m not telling you that all of you have to keep a pet. Because there are many people who don’t like animals and lack responsibility. However, it is clear that pets can change your life positively. Therefore I want to recommend you to have a pet.

My topic is economy of European Union. EU’s economy has become worse since Greece’s bankruptcy was occurred as people already know. However experts say that It is expected that the EU’s economy will be get better after a long time. And It also expected that job and growth forecast will be better than the early expectation of this year.

I hope the EU’s economy to get better quickly because if the economy of huge region such as Europe gets worse, not only Europe’s but also all of the world’s economy gets worse together including my country. Actually I don’t know very well about economy but I think that the economy of EU needs to get better for every country. And I hope the economy of my country also to be improved. I want to hear the news that Korea’s employment rate of young people will be better after all and price will be lower. I don’t even remember when the economy of Korea was good.

And I think discussing current news in English is good not only to improve English skill, but also to know international current news and develop discussing ability. I’m not good at speaking English like other students, but I think this class will makes me more fluent at speaking English. I will try hard to speak in English.
