Idea 1
Yes
Model Answer
Yes, I had a dog when I was a child. My family loves animals, so we always had pets at home. I liked playing with my dog after school, and I still have some photos of him.
Idea 2
No
Model Answer
No, I’ve never had a pet before. My parents didn’t allow pets because they thought it would be too messy. I sometimes help my friends take care of their pets, but I don’t have my own.
