Student Discusses the Zoo, by Iryna Mykhaylyuk

Our congratulations to these hard-working students.

Do you like going to the zoo? Personally, I really like it!  I can see many different species of animals and have a look at them.  So, the following article will be about keeping animals at zoos.  Let’s consider what are the advantages and disadvantages of it.

First of all, animals have good life conditions in zoos.  They are provided with food and water.  Also the animals are safe; people can’t kill them.  On the other hand,

keeping animals in zoos is an unpleasant thing for them.  The space they are forced to live in does not suit them.  Moreover, animals should have freedom, because it is natural.

In conclusion, it seems to me that keeping wild animals in zoos is useful and profitable for them, because they are protected.  But it’s also a bit stifling, so if an animal is healthy and thriving in the wild, there is no need to keep them in the zoo.

When the first pilgrims sailed to America, they were met with a harsh winter.  Having few supplies left after the long journey across the Atlantic Ocean, the travelers were in trouble.  And yet, in another way, they were also in luck.  The native people of this strange land felt pity and kindly toward these pale newcomers and brought them food and clothing to help them through the winter months.  Many of the foods they shared have since become the staples of Thanksgiving Dinner, in honor of the native’s generosity and the providence that allowed these people to survive and

later found what is modern day America.

On Thanksgiving Americans traditionally eat turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy.  Other commonly served dishes include sweet potatoes prepared with brown sugar and marshmallows, variations of corn, green bean casserole, and bread rolls or cornbread.  For dessert, various pies are usually served, particularly
