Debate: Do you think zoos are good for animals
Practice in pairs:

S2 : I believe that animals in zoos live longer than animals in the jungle．
2. S1: I think that animals should not live in zoos．
S2 : I disagree with you.I feel that zoos provide clean and safe places for endangered animals to live.
3.s1: I think that zoos are not suitable for animals to live in．
s2: Why do you think so
s1: Because animals there are only given food once a day.They’re hungry．
s 2: I disagree with you． I believe that many animals only eat once a day or once every few days． So, there is no need to worry about that．
Firstly zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world.
Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well.
Thirdly, zoos protect the animals and keep them from becoming extinct.
Pros:
Cons:
Most animals are kept in small cages. Most cages are not clean, either.
The food in the zoos is not natural. In the forest they can find the food by themselves.
Summary
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,
Jenny
