“Zoo”
“Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A zoo has no useful purpose. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It will be wrong to say that a zoo has no useful purpose. I shall elaborate on the purpose and usefulness of Zoos.
A zoo is also known as zoological garden or a zoological park. This is a facility in which animals are kept within enclosures and displayed to the public, and in those enclosures animals breed too. The term zoological garden refers to the biological discipline zoology, which derives from Greek. Most modern zoos display wild animals primarily for the conservation of endangered species and for educational and research purposes, and secondarily for the entertainment of visitors.
However many animal rights activists disapprove of zoos because they interpret zoos as human domination over animals and criticize their educational value as being superficial. Some animal welfare groups however do not reject the existence of zoos, but seek to remedy the unnatural and unhealthy conditions wherein captive animals’ live, particularly the problem of small cages and lack of environmental enrichment. Some zoos are unable to provide adequate food and care to their animals’ because of lack of funds. However many of the large and scientifically oriented institutions work to improve the animal enclosures, although constraints like size and expense makes it difficult to create ideal captive environments for some species.
Some zoos concentrate on aquariums and amusement parks. Aquariums are made for the water species like various kinds of fishes. Those fishes have variety of very attractive colors and designs that attracts everyone, especially children like it the most and feel delighted.
In conclusion the biggest usefulness of a zoo is the conservation of endangered species, secondly the breeding that prevents the extinction, thirdly the education and research work and last but least amusement and entertainment of the visitors and tourists that brings revenue to the nation.

“Young People Teach Older Ones”
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? There is nothing that young people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I totally disagree with the statement that there is nothing that young people cannot teach the older ones. I shall elaborate my viewpoint in the following paragraphs.
We are living in the new millennium, the most advanced technological era in history. One is confronted with a plethora of knowledge and information. While young people possess an ability to learn new concepts and absorb information faster and easier many older are unaware of new products or ideas. Those could be taught to the old by young.
The computer, for old people, has emerged as the first barrier and stigma. With a computer, one can work without paper and pencil, obtain useful searches on the Internet or make online purchases from ones home. However, many older people are not able to do these things since using a computer initially demands a little of knowledge and skill. However teaching our grandparents how to use a computer in order that they could discover many benefits and pleasures are a most pleasurable experience.
In addition to new technological products, ideas or concepts that have helped shape young people can be conveyed to old people. Many old people believe that health means the absence of disease. Yet many of us have realized that the notion of being healthy contains psychological, emotional and social health factors too rather than simply living without illness. Those scientific notions could be learned by old people from their children. The old must learn something new from youngsters in order to adjust to a modern lifestyle and become healthier.
Summing-up, in modern society it is the young who are at the forefront of the era and possess updated knowledge thereby young teach many new things to older ones.

“World Losing Natural Resources”
Many parts of the world are losing important natural resources, such as forests, animals, or clean water. Choose one resource that is disappearing and explain why it needs to be saved. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the fastest depleting resources is the oil and gas. As the population is increasing continuously, basic needs for fresh water, food, housing and fuel make unprecedented demands on our global and local ecosystems. Additionally there is great demand for more material goods and services. As we strive to increase material wealth, comforts and conveniences, the pressure on biodiversity and natural resources tremendously increase. Overpopulation calls for enormous housing constructions this causes trees falling and jungle cutting thereby causing imbalance of ecology resulting into loss of animal life. In addition, more vehicles are needed that cause environment pollution. And heat emission by automobiles adds to Global Warming.
Because of numerous automobiles and their use, one of the fastest depleting resources is the oil and gas. This is a non-renewable resource that cannot be re-made, re-grown or regenerated in proportion to its consumption. The rate of consumption of oil and gas is much higher than its rate of reformation by nature.
Greater demand of housing and industrialization causes deforestation having an adverse effect on ecology and animal life. The needs for water and power have also skyrocketed. Loss of cattle results into shortage of milk and dairy products. Many farmers employ bullocks in carts and also for cultivating fields. Furthermore horses, donkeys, camels and elephants are employed for transport, running of carriages, lifting and shifting of heavy loads. Similarly sheep is used for production of wool. Chickens and eggs are used as food for humans. Therefore it is important to protect species and live in harmony.
Summarizing, the fastest depleting resource of oil and gas that take millions of years to re-form naturally and cannot be replaced as fast as it is consumed, it is vital to conserve and protect this resource from extinction.

“Working For Small or Big Company”
Some people prefer to work for a large company. Others prefer to work for small company. Which would you prefer? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I prefer working for a large company because of its various advantages over a small company. In this essay I shall elaborate those advantages.
By working in large companies one gets greater exposure and more valuable experience compared to small. Because the larger scope of work the opportunities are plenty for gaining work experience. Secondly large companies give handsome salary and lucrative perquisites. In addition to many other facilities like full medical reimbursements for employee and his or her dependents, petrol allowances, home loan and education loan to its employees. Employee’s chances for promotions are bright. In addition big companies give many fringe benefits like Leave encashment, Leave Travel Concession for home town and other than home town also.
So far as medical facilities are concerned, they are available not only for employee but for the direct dependents too. Also full medical coverage is given by some big companies for the life time of employee and his or her direct dependents even after the retirement of the employee. This is the biggest benefit.
On the other hand, large companies often offer employee stock option plans which, if managed correctly, employee can make handsome wealth in addition to yearly bonus. Big companies have advantages over small companies. Intangible gains to employees are great.
Last but not least, job security in big companies is better compared to smaller ones. Small companies, have fewer advantages in comparison to large companies. Nevertheless to begin with one may start the career from smaller companies for the purpose of acquiring experience. Thereafter he or she may switch over to larger company after acquiring adequate experience. This brightens ones future career.
In nutshell, working in larger companies is far more beneficial compared to working in smaller companies.

“Work With Group or Alone”
Is it more important to be able to work with a group of people on a team or to work independently? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I opine, one must be able to work with the group with a good team spirit. Working in isolation is not good.
A person who works in isolation becomes introvert and would not develop or learn new ways and means of working. A person of this type cannot work in a large corporation employing many thousand employees.
Teamwork is the concept of people working together cooperatively, as in a sports team.
Projects require that people work together, so teamwork has become an important concept everywhere. Effective teams are an intermediary goal towards getting good, sustainable results. The essentials of team work are: -
• Listen to other people's ideas. When people are allowed to freely express their ideas, these initial ideas will produce other ideas.
• Ask questions, interact, and discuss the objectives of the team.
• Treat others with respect and to support their ideas.
• Help one's coworkers, which is the general theme of teamwork.
• Share with the team to create an environment of teamwork
• All members of the team are encouraged to participate in the team.
• For a team to work effectively it is essential team members acquire communication skills and use effective communication channels between one another e.g. using email, verbal communication, group meetings and so on. This will enable team members or the group to work together and achieve the team’s purpose and common goals.
In conclusion team workers are good listeners and diplomats, talented at smoothing over conflicts and helping parties understand each other without becoming confrontational and they are most successful in the present era. Hence it is most important to be able to work in a group instead of working independently in isolation.

“Work By Hand or Machines”
Some people like doing work by hand. Others prefer using machines. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
I prefer to work with machines and not manually. The reason is that world has advanced like anything and all the jobs that were done before a couple of centuries by man are now being done by machines. In order to keep pace with the time one must learn to work with machines and be more productive or else one cannot survive.
Man, through the ages, has undergone innumerable magical changes from time to time. In the ancient times man lived in the jungles in caves and hutments made by wild grass and vegetation. Now men live in beautiful houses with all facilities and amenities of the life. For transportation of self and materials, mankind used animals like horses, camels, donkeys, zebras and bullocks etc. Man used to have carts pulled by those animals and the transport process used to be exorbitantly time consuming, slow and very tiresome. The 20th century made giant leaps towards progress and development on all dimensions.
Now mankind has motor vehicles for his or her own transport and transporting materials.
Even daily domestic chores like washing and laundry are carried out by respective machines.
Furthermore computer application and technology is used in our all day to day activities including business. Computers have been applied in Education, Information, Media, Entertainment, Transport, Health monitoring and treatment, Banking, Buying, Selling, Trading, Communicating with near and dear by electronic mail or chatting; including outer space travel.
In conclusion, once mankind has progressed and advanced so much, now again going back to manual labor does not sound wise and appropriate nor it is rewarding in any way.
