反対意見とその理由を述べる。 Hi, everyone. Our team doesn’t believe robot pets are better than real ones. First of all, they are so expensive that some people can’t buy them. Also, robot pets cannot communicate with people. They are not living things but just robots. Most pet owners want to have communication with their pets.
