___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In our group, we all agree that building the zoo is a good idea. If we have a zoo, we can watch the animals and learn to care them easily. While in the zoo the animals should be treated well. They shouldn’t be put in the cages. They are supposed to be
relaxed and free . After all , the zoo is the home for animals , not just for fun.WritingDo you agree with “Disgusted” or “Animal Friend”?
Write a letter to the editor and give your opinion.Dear Editor,
After reading the two letters, I realize that I must say something about animals and zoos．I don’t agree with disgusted．In fact, many animals only eat once a day or once every few days, so feeding them just once a day is not a problem at all．I think zoos are very important to animals．They can stop many endangered animals from being killed or hunted．They can provide man with places for research work．Also we can visit the animals in the zoos to learn some knowledge to protect the animals better．
Sincerely,
××× I disagree with you. I feel that zoos provide clean and safe places for endangered animals to live. I think that animals should not live in zoos.4Language points I am writing to say that I am against building a new zoo in our town.
