二、微写作
很多同学喜欢去动物园看野生动物，但动物园真的是保护它们的好地方吗？请你以 "Should we keep wild animals in zoos to protect them?" 为主题写几句话，简要表达自己的想法，并陈述理由。不少于5句话。下面的问题可供参考：
1. What good things can zoos do for wild animals?
2. How is life in zoos different from that in the wild?

Sample writing:
Opinion 1: Yes, we should. Zoos are important because they protect wild animals. They give animals a safe place to live in. Many animals are in danger in the wild, but zoos can keep them safe. Zoos also have special programmes to help animals have babies. This can increase the number of animals. So, zoos can help save animals that are in danger.
Opinion 2: No, we shouldn’t. The places where animals live in zoos are too small. Zoos are not like the real wild. Animals in zoos might feel worried and bored. They can even get sick. Putting animals in cages stops them from being free and doing what they usually do in the wild. This is very unkind.
