The Benefits and Drawbacks of Zoos
Reading Passage: Many people enjoy visiting zoos because they provide an opportunity to see animals that are often difficult to observe in the wild. Zoos often rehabilitate injured animals and help with conservation efforts. However, some people believe that keeping animals in zoos is inhumane and that they should be in their natural habitats. This debate raises important questions about animal rights and education.
Speaking Task: Summarize the key points in the reading passage and state your opinion on whether zoos are beneficial or harmful to animals.
