What do you think? Write. 12. Now read. Do you agree? Today, a lot of animals are kept in Zoos. Which is better for the animals: to live in Zoos or in the wild? Some people think that animals should live in the wild and not in zoos because z005 are different to their natural environment. The weather is different. The food is different: The animals around them are different. There are more people around. Zoos are often small. Animals have to live in cages or walk up and down in a small area. And in zoos the animals don’t need to look for food or protect themselves and they lose their natural instincts. Other people think zoos are better and safer for wild animals. For example, some monkeys and birds are nearly extinct because people are destroying their homes. Other animals are nearly extinct because people hunt them for their fur — tigers for example. Zoos protect these animals and help them to survive. I think animals should live in the wild. But we have to stop people hunting the animals for their fur and destroying their homes. Tf peopl don’t stop hunting animals, then zoos are good because the Zoos can help to protect the animals. I think we have to look after animals because they share our planet. DM SLCC13.

Would you like to visit Argentina? Subject: A trip to Argentina From: sue.spencer@homemail.com This winter I am going on holiday to Argentina with my family. Argentina is in South America. It's a very big country and there's so much to see! ‘Argentina and Europe are on opposite sides of the Equator. When it’s winter here in Europe, it's summer in Argentina. That's why we are going in our winter holiday. First, well go to the Andes Mountains because my Dad loves climbing. They're in a big national park in the west of the country. Then we might visit one of the big farms in the middle of the country. My brother likes horses. On these farms, men ride horses to look after the cows. Then welll go to the beach. Mum loves beaches. There are lots of beaches in the east of the country on the Atlantic Ocean. I don't like beaches. I might ask Dad to go to a water park or a boating lake when Mum is on the beach! Then we are going to the south. In summer you can go to the end of the country, which is nearly in Antarctica. Normally, you can't go there because it’s too cold ond there is a lot of ice and snow. But in summer it's possible to drive much further south. Before we come back, we're going to Buenos Aires. That's the capital city of ‘Argentina. We're going to watch some dancers dancing the tango, a typical dance for two people. Argentina is famous for the tango. ‘And then we may go to an amusement park where we'll be able to go on a big wheel and a rollercoaster! I can’t wait!
