Original:

Did you grow up with pets in your home?

unfortuniately，I haven’t a pet in my home now. Actually, I really want to own one, but my mother fears all the animals that have hairs. She is afraid of them messing the room up or following to her. I remember when I was a child, I adopted a rabbit but it didn’t live for a long time. I was very sad about it. The rabbit was so pitiful. Since then, I have never adopted an animal.
