Some people think zoos are cruel and all the zoos should be closed. However, some people think zoos are useful to protect the rare animals. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 【審題】雙邊討論的議論文。千萬注意,本題并不是單純討論動物園的利弊問題,雙方的切入點分別在“cruel”和“useful to protect the rare animals”,因此兩方的論述點都要點出這兩部分關鍵詞哦~
Introduction It has not been a rare case nowadays that some species are vanishing. This can be in part ascribed to the shortage of natural conservation areas or zoos. Personally, zoos are a sound place for preserving those endangered animals, despite some minute losses.
. vanish vi. 絕跡,消失 . be ascribed to 被歸因于 . minute adj. 細小的 → 熟詞生用,注意發音
<短句開啟讓步> Admittedly, it is justifiable for some to advocate the prohibition of zoos. This is mainly because once animals are in cages, they are to some extent deprived of their basic rights, such as wandering in their natural habitats. More accurately, kept in an artificial environment usually with limited space and fed by zoo workers, these caged animals are gradually accustomed to the so-called comfort zones, which may ultimately render them obstructed in nurturing their capabilities of hunting or avoiding other predators. Besides, some zoos even train zoo animals to deliver performances for the sake of rake in profits. // <直接反駁> However, the aforementioned detriments can in effect be minimised as long as zoos are strictly confined and well regulated by some issued laws.
. advocate vt. 支持 . prohibition n. 禁止(注意下文的詞性變體,增加CC) . deprive sb. of sth. 剝奪某人某物 . cage n. 牢籠;vt. 把…關起來(注意詞性變體) . be accustomed to 習慣于(注意to是介詞) . predator n. 捕食者(閱讀中學的詞匯拿來用?。?/span>
立論部分 【論述思路】好處一定要從“useful to protect rare animals”出發,比如利于動物學家觀察研究,利于公眾學習了解稀有動物的悲慘現狀,從而培養公眾保護野生動物意識(這句話必不可少,不然沒有明確點題)。什么“提供就業”啊這種好處就別提了,跑偏了。 As a matter of fact, behind the establishment of well-regulated zoos are more profound meanings. The most conspicuous one is that some species, such as pandas, which might struggle for basic survivals if left in natural habitats can actually survive in zoos. More specifically, it is via enclosing endangered animals in a manmade living environment similar to their habitats and keeping them under observation that zoologists can focus on animals’ health conditions, further study their behaviour, and update the cutting-edge research findings. In this sense, the updated findings, be they offline or online <省略倒裝>, can enable the general public, including visitors in zoos and web surfers <對上前面offline和online>, to have a glimpse into not only the detailed information about those zoo animals but also the severe situations they are confronted with, which is an effective approach to summon humans to protect those planet-mates.
. enclose vt. 圍起來;n. enclosure 圍場 . cutting-edge adj. 前沿的 . research findings 研究成果 . have a glimpse into 領略 . summon vt. 號召 . planet-mate n. mate一般指共享某物的成員,注意這種復合構詞法
Conclusion In a nutshell, those zoos aiming at profits solely should be prohibited, while those regulated ones should be motivated.
