Why I agree With Danial’s Opinion To Keep Animals In The Zoo

A sample essay based on a question/issue.

Deforestation has become a huge phenomenon nowadays. Therefore the issue to keep animals in the zoo has been a crucial matter. As a responsible citizen, I agree with Danial’s opinion as to keep animals in the zoo because of some concrete reasons.

Firstly, by keeping many kinds of animal in the zoo, many people would be able to see what some wild animals look like. For example, some people might not know the real appearance of lions. They are even different between male and female. Furthermore, they would know the lion’s voice, habitat and behaviour. It is almost impossible to see a lion in its real habitat unless in the zoo.

Secondly, a lot of zoos have now changed their policies where they provide bigger ground for animals to roam around freely. They move around in a bigger space but under control and visitor’s safety guaranteed just like at Safari in Taiping. It provides programmes such as breeding program and caring for injured wild animals which is directly shown to the visitors. So the adventurous visitors would enjoy learning something new and challenging in caring wild animals.

Last but not least, nowadays many zoos provide better living conditions and treatment for wild animals. Due to modernization, deforestation occurred anywhere. So, wild animals lose their habitat. They are also seriously caught in free illegal logging activities. Wild animals decrease in number by times whenever forests are cleared for commercialization.The moment forest turns to industrial residential area, wild animals are homeless. Do we need to wait for their extinction? I don’t think so. In some cases, big companies sponsor funds to show their responsibility towards wild animals.

In short, zoo becomes a vital sanctuary where animals should be kept to protect their existence. It is part and parcel of every citizen to save animals’ lives just like ours.

Rahman's Hobby

A form 2 guided writing essay

Rahman, who is fourteen years old, has an interesting hobby of collecting butterflies. He usually catch the butterflies in his own wide and beautiful garden full of various colourful flowers and insects.

He catches the butterflies found in the garden using a net with a long stick. He has a few nets for catching butterflies. The newest net is a gift from his father during his fourteenth birthday currently.

While attempting in catching butterfly, Rahman handles it gently. It is because he does not want to tear out the wings of the butterflies. Once they are caught, Rahman pours a few drops of methylated  spirit onto their head to preserve the insects with their original look. They will be dried before Rahman pins them onto a frame.

He arranges all the butterflies he has caught according to types, sizes and colours. There are many frames hanging onto the wall at his house displaying many types of butterfly caught by himself.  From a fun hobby he does, Rahman becomes a passionate butterfly catcher.

No wonder a cheap hobby like this would turn into a business and would be able for him to earn some profits one day sooner or later. After all he already had a hobby-based business in the making of handicraft.
