Question

   A We have only one child —a daughter. She often feels lonely at home. But things have changed a lot since last month. We bought our two-year-old daughter a little dog last month. There were few children near our house,and we thought a dog could keep her occupiedWe were right. They play together happily. Our daughter now laughs a lot more than before. In a way,they look like two children in the house. Both of them are playful,but cry when they do not get what they want. The dog is easier to look after than my daughter—he always eats all his food up and we don t have lots of dirty clothes to wash. I have given up smoking,because of my daughter and the dog. My wife is also pleased. We all like the dog.
