Let’s start our discussion. Today’s topic is “Are zoos necessary?” Please feel free to say what you think.

Ken :

I think zoos are necessary. They are good places to learn about animals, especially for children.

M :

Any other opinions? How about you, Yuta?

Yuta :

I agree with Ken. Zoos protect endangered animals.

M :

Yuta, could you explain more about your opinion?

Yuta :

OK. Those endangered animals can only survive in zoos. Zoos should save them.

M :

Thank you, Yuta. Are there any more comments?

Rika :

I think animals in zoos should be kept in conditions similar to their natural habitats. If not, such zoos should be improved or closed.

M :

Well, Ken and Yuta had similar opinions, and Rika added a different viewpoint. Now, time is running out. We’ll have to stop here. Thank you for participating.
