Imaan would love a pet!

Dear parents,

                           Imagine your children being independent and looking after a pet themselves, imagine your house-hold having a pet running amuck and you not being scared, and imagine your children getting lots of exercise. You, our lovely, hard-working, caring parents can give your children the dream they’ve always wanted to come true, today. I your lovely one and only daughter, am writing to you to, politely, request for a pet.

My first reason is that we will be able to learn to be independent. If you get us a pet we will learn to feed it the right amount and when to feed it. For example, if you get us a pet hamster then we will be able to recognise when the hamster is hungry or thirsty. Did you know most of the children in year 6 have a pet and are responsible for it? Specifically, Saskia in my class has quite a few pets (by quite a few I mean a lot!). Saskia is responsible for all her pets; she has to feed them, make sure they get lots of exercise and much more. If we have a pet we will feed it and make sure it’s getting a lot of exercise. It will also be extra chores for us!

Another reason is that both of us, me and the pet, will get more exercise. For example, a pet dog will keep us healthy and it’s self. Another way of saying it is that we will be healthy by taking the pet for a walk every day. With a pet we can all have fun and go to the field like we used to. Lazy, un-healthy, terrible exercising- is this how you want your children to behave? No? Then I suggest you get us a pet.

In contrast, you may think and know that you have other important jobs to do than look after a pet. You are also scared of certain pets such as, cats and dogs. However, Amaar and I can look after the pet when you’re busy. Also you can get over the fear that has been within you by getting us a pet.

In summary, if you want your children to learn to be independent, if you want your children to get exercise, not just at school, then make the right decision and get us a pet. The more your children learn to be independent, the more you’ll be proud of us. Proud of us because, not only are we your loving, caring and unique children but because we will be independent. I’ll be eagerly anticipating your response.

Love from,

Your one and only, favourite daughter Imaan
