These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.
                                                      Zoos Do a Good Job
It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos.
However, I believe that zoos have many good points.
Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all the world. Without
zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
Secondly, zoos. look after the animals very well. The animals are given food and cleaned regularly
(定期). In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry.
But animals kept in zoos never go hungry.
Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild,
some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance
tolive. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.
Maria Smith
                                                        Zoos Are Unnatural
In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I'm afraid that zoos are not good for
animals, they are only good for people.
It is unnatural and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that
are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos. they can't do this. This is
why the bears and tigers always look so sad.
Most cages are not very clean, either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is
not natural. Wild animals are used to l00 — king for them own food. We should treat animals in the
same way that we treat other people-with respect. Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go
outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing .outside her flat l00 －king at
her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it, either.
