It is said that keeping
animals
 in zoos is a disturbance to their freedom and natural behaviour,
whereas
 others believe these places help to protect endangered
species
.
This
 essay will argue the debate and give a concluding view. Many people cannot visit jungles to see the wild
animals
 in their natural living spaces and wildlife parks provide the chance to see them.
However
, most zoological gardens keep the
animals
 in a cage which limits their mobility range and natural behaviour.
Furthermore
, zoo keepers and designers cannot provide a space which is identical to the natural habitat of the
animals
.
As well as
,
animals
 do not have the opportunity to hunt for their meal, which leads to disabling their natural instincts and hunting abilities.
Moreover
, many
species
 show signs of depression and malnutrition.
However
, modern zoo designs and plans try to maximize the opportunities for
animals
 to live in a similar environment in open zoological parks.
On the other hand
, zoo helps to protect endangered
species
 and promote their growth.
For instance
, in China, there are special centres to keep the giant pandas where they promote awareness about the animal.
Furthermore
, these animal sanctuaries help to keep them safe from their natural predators and increase their reproduction rates to promote their growth.
As well as
,
due to
 deforestation some rare
species
 have lost their natural food sources and zoological gardens help to give them food security. In conclusion, the concept of zoos has changed over the past years and people and zoologists try to maintain a better environment for
animals
 that both the spectators and
animals
 can themselves enjoy. In my opinion, though zoos are considered to be cruel to
animals
,
it

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
