'Zoos Are Last Chance For Siberian Tiger'

English Essay

Zoos still have a useful function in the modern world. Do you agree?

1 Although the function of zoos has changed little during the last 250 years, zoos are very controversial today. Many people think they are cruel and have no place in the modern world. It is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function.

2 First of all, zoos are places of education. Zoos can help children to appreciate nature. Furthermore, research into animal behaviour is done in zoos and has increased our knowledge of zoology, genetics and even psychology. Above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animal. Many species today are in danger of extinction and, thanks to breeding in zoos, many animals have a chance of survival. Indeed there are some animals which now only exist in zoos.

3 Opponents of zoos say that they are cruel. First of all, they argue, zoos cannot recreate the environment in which animals live and, because of this, animals are bored and depressed. Secondly, animals have frequent contact with human visitors, which can be stressful. However, in my opinion, most zoos have improved recently. It is now quite rare to see animals in cages and most zoos try hard to recreate the environments in which different animals live.

4 In conclusion, although zoos are not a perfect environment for animals, I believe that they have more advantages than disadvantages. In an ideal world, zoos would not be necessary. But as long as man hunts animals for profit and destroys their environments, zoos are essential.

• Выступает ли автор в целом за или против зоопарков?

  Ответ:

  The writer is generally for zoos. They state that zoos have a useful function, highlight their role in education, research, and protecting endangered species, and argue that their advantages outweigh their disadvantages, making them essential in the modern world.

  Автор в целом выступает за зоопарки. Он утверждает, что зоопарки выполняют полезную функцию, подчеркивает их роль в образовании, исследованиях и защите исчезающих видов, а также доказывает, что их преимущества перевешивают недостатки, делая их незаменимыми в современном мире.

• Считаете ли вы его/ее эссе убедительным?

  Ответ:

  Yes, I find the essay quite convincing. The writer makes strong points about the educational value of zoos and their crucial role in conservation and protecting endangered species. Although it mentions the negatives, it explains how zoos are trying to improve and are still needed because humans damage animal habitats. It seems like a practical view.

  Да, я считаю эссе довольно убедительным. Автор приводит веские доводы о ценности зоопарков для образования и их решающей роли в сохранении и защите исчезающих видов. Хотя в нем упоминаются и негативные моменты, объясняется, как зоопарки стараются улучшаться и как они по-прежнему необходимы из-за того, что люди разрушают среду обитания животных. Это кажется прагматичной точкой зрения.
