[03:10.98]and underline the reasons why the writer is opposed to zoos.
[03:16.86]Dear Editor,I am writng to say that I am against building a new zoo in our town.
[03:24.23]Zoos are terrible places for animals to live.
[03:29.19]I've visited a lot of zoos in my life,
[03:33.45]and I have never seen one I liked or one that was suitable for animals to live in.
[03:40.71]Just last week,I visited a zoo and couldn't believe what I saw.
[03:47.37]The animals are kept in tiny cages and can hardly move at all.
[03:54.03]And they are only given food once a day.Is this a good way for animals to live?
[04:01.97]I don't think so. Sincerely,Disgusted
[04:08.74]3b Now read this letter to the editor.
[04:14.20]Do you agree with"Disgusted"or "Animal Friend"?
[04:19.76]Write a letter to the editor and give your opinion.
[04:25.01]Dear Editor,I visited our zoo yesterday
[04:30.65]and I was very surprised to find hardly anyone there.
[04:35.51]Zoos are very important places.They are like living textbooks for young people.
[04:43.06]They provide homes for many endangered animals,
[04:47.79]and help to educate the public about caring for them.
[04:52.47]If we don't support our zoos,
[04:56.83]they won't have enough money to take care of so many fine animals.
[05:02.50]I urge all of your readers to visit our wonderful zoo soon.
[05:08.24]Sincerely,Animal Friend

[08:32.97]Well,the stuff used to be called trash,but now it's called "recycled"material.
