READING - Are zoos a good thing?

Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing? Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed. Even the best artificial environments can't come close to matching the space, diversity, and freedom that animals have in their natural habitats. This deprivation causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally: for example, marine parks often force dolphins and whales to perform tricks. These mammals may die decades earlier than their wild relatives, and some even try to commit suicide.

On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public about conservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their habitats. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses.

One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding programs, particularly for endangered species. In the wild, some of the rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding, and they might also be threatened by poachers, loss of their habitat and predators. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a secure environment. In addition, as numbers of some wild species drop, there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguard: zoo-bred animals can be released into the wild to increase genetic diversity.

However, opponents of zoos say that the vast majority of captive breeding programs do not release animals back into the wild. Surplus animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses or hunting ranches in the US or South Africa, where some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill an animal in a fenced enclosure. Often, these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.

So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is simply wrong.

True or false? Please tick the correct box.

Statement True False

Modern zoos can offer animals a living environment that is as good as their natural habitats.

One of the reasons zoo animals become distressed is because they are separated from their families.

Dolphins and whales usually live longer in zoos than in the wild.

People who have visited zoos are more likely to support animal conservation and protection.

Zoos protect animals from being used for scientific research.

Endangered animals kept in zoos are less likely to meet a mate and breed.

In their natural habitats, animals suffer problems related to human activity.

If zoos have more animals than they can look after, they always give them to another zoo or release them

back into the wild.

Animals that have been bred in captivity quickly adapt to life in hunting ranches.

The author thinks that, on balance, zoos are generally a good thing.

Make a short list of pros and cons! Why are / aren’t zoos a good thing? Also add own ideas.

Arguments for zoos

Write down arguments against zoos.

Arguments against zoos

What is your conclusion after considering all the arguments? Come up with a statement of 3-4 sentences.

MEDIATION – Travelling in Europe

a) Read the information about the three cities. If you don’t understand a word, try not using a dictionary

(because there won’t be one on the exam either ). Reading the context will help you!

b) Fill in the table with exact information! Use German language here.

c) Then decide which city you would go to and give three to four reasons. Use German language as well!

SHORT STORY

a) Read the short story “Emergency Landing” by Louise Cooper. Look up words you don’t understand.

b) Answer the questions about the text.

c) Create a dialogue between a native1 and a passenger. The dialogue happens after the landing.

Emergency Landing -by Louise Cooper-

«Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking», said the voice over the intercom. ‘I’m afraid we have engine

trouble, so we’ll have to make an emergency landing. There’s no cause for alarm; we can get down quite safely. I

apologize for the inconvenience.’

‘Bother!’ said one of the passengers. I’ve got an important meeting, and I don’t want to be late.’ ‘Where are we,

anyway?’ said the passenger in the seat next to him. They both peered out of the porthole. ‘I suppose we’ll land

down there,’ said the first passenger. ‘It looks like the only possible place. I don’t recognize it, though.’

The stewardess, who was coming down the aisle, overheard. ‘It is rather in the middle of nowhere, I’m afraid,’ she

said ruefully. ‘We won’t find a qualified mechanic there. But don’t worry: the crew have been trained to do repairs,

and they shouldn’t take very long.’

‘Hmm. Will we be able to make ourselves understood to the natives?’ the first passenger asked.

‘I shouldn’t think so, sir. I shouldn’t think anyone there can speak our language.’

The passengers didn’t like the sound of that. ‘What if they’re hostile?’ someone else wanted to know. 'We could be

in danger!'

The stewardess laughed. Or rather, she waggled four of her six antennae, which amounted to the same thing. ‘Don’t

worry’, she chuckled. ‘We’ve got weapons that no one there has even dreamed of! So if there’s any trouble, we just

power them up and----pffft!’

They all looked out of the portholes at the little blue-and-green world revolving against a background of deep-space

stars. The people who lived on the little world called it Earth, though the passengers didn’t know that, and wouldn’t

have cared if they had.

‘I expect,’ said the stewardess comfortably, ‘we’ll blow the planet up when we leave. We usually do.’ She waggled

her antennae again. ‘It saves a lot of silly form-filling and questions when we get home. Now, ladies and gentlemen;

if you would kindly fasten your seat belts as we go in to land...’
