Shut Up Zoos, Not Animals!
You may think that visiting zoos is harmless fun, but you're wrong because zoos are just prisons(监狱) for animals. The difference is that prisoners get out after a few years! Animals in cages look bored and are boring to look at. After all, we all know what an elephant looks like, we've seen them on TV. So why make animals suffer by shutting them up for our fun? Shut up the zoos instead!

I partly agree. But some zoos aren't there for our fun. I've just got back from Jersey Zoo. It saves rare animals and breeds them. Then it returns the babies to the wild. Not all zoos are the same, you know.

Quite agree! Every time I go to the zoo, I never look into the poor animals' eyes! Kept in the small and smelly cages, they look so lonely and sad. Hope one day they will return to nature, where they can live happily and freely with their families.

Personally, I think zoos are fantastic places for children. They can play with animals and enjoy themselves so much there. Also, they learn a lot about animals. Why shut up?

Dear Diary, This year, I've set some resolutions to make the most out of my time. * Get fit and active: I decide to follow a healthier lifestyle by eating more fruit and vegetables and working out regularly. * Break free from screens: I will start limiting ( 限制) social media and having one tech- free day a week to keep in touch with the real world. * Develop a new hobby: Time to step out of my comfort zone! Whether it's writing, painting or learning a musical instrument, I want to discover a new creative activity. * Be more positive (积极乐观): I want to be more positive from now on. It might be a good idea to end the day by writing down three things I'm thankful for. * Improve time management(管理): I want to be clearer how I spend my time. I' ll make achievable plans, prioritize (确定优先顺序) tasks and learn to say no when needed. | Dear Diary, Let's check how well I've done with my resolutions. * Get fit and active: Not doing great here. Exercise started strong, but it has become irregular. Healthy eating is no easy task. I need to push myself harder. * Break free from screens: Surprisingly successful! I' ve cut down on mindless scrolling(刷手机), and the tech- free day has become a refreshing activity. * Develop a new hobby: Halfway there. I picked up the guitar, and I'm in love with it. Though I'm still a beginner, the learning process is exciting. * Be more positive:Mixed results. Some days, it's a joy to look back on the positive things, but there are moments when I forget. Need to set a fixed time for that each day. * Improve time management: This one is a win! I've been using a planner to organize my days. It has helped me a lot in balancing school, hobbies and relaxation. There's still room for improvement and I believe I will see better results! |
