Qingqing: Hua Hua, is this your dog and cat? They are so cute.
Hua Hua: Yes. The dog is called Wangwang, and the cat is called Miaomiao. They are also my family.
Qingqing: Nowadays, more and more people treat their pets as family members, and it’s not just cats and dogs; there are many different kinds of living creatures.
Hua Hua: When I was little, I raised rabbits and guinea pigs, but back then it was just for fun, and I didn’t have
any emotional connection with them.
Qingqing: I have a classmate who has a turtle. Sometimes he puts the turtle in his backpack and brings it to class.

Qingqing: Wow, that’s so cool. So brave. I wouldn’t dare to have snakes and lizards as roommates. Do you want to give it a try?
Hua Hua: Yeah, right. I’d rather take care of myself first, thank you.
