Describe an interesting animal you have seen
You should say:
- What animal it was
- When and Where you saw it
- And explain how you feel about this animal
モデル回答
I’d like to describe a fascinating animal that I saw recently, it was a sea turtle. I saw this incredible creature while on a snorkeling trip in the Caribbean sea. It was a hot summer day and the sun was shining bright when I saw this sea turtle slowly swimming near the surface of the water. The turtle was a magnificent sight, with a dark brown shell and flippers that glimmered in the sunlight. I was struck by the grace and beauty of this animal as it effortlessly glided through the water. I was also amazed by its size, as it was easily over a meter long and weighed several hundred pounds. As I watched the turtle swim away, I felt a deep respect and admiration for this magnificent creature. Sea turtles have been around for millions of years, and they have survived through many environmental changes and human threats. They represent resilience and adaptability, and it’s amazing to think about all the things they have seen and experienced in their long lives. In addition to their longevity, sea turtles are also important for the balance of marine ecosystems. They help maintain the health of coral reefs by feeding on sea grasses and keeping their populations in check. They also play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the food chain by serving as a food source for other animals. Overall, the experience of seeing a sea turtle in the wild was truly unforgettable. It was a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and of the importance of protecting and preserving these amazing creatures. The sea turtle is a truly remarkable animal and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to see one in its natural habitat.

➤ What kind of animals do people have in their homes?
モデル回答
People often keep a variety of animals as pets in their homes, including: Dogs – one of the most popular pets, known for their loyalty and companionship. Cats – known for their independence, playful personality, and affectionate behavior. Fish – popular due to their low maintenance, and the fact that they come in a wide variety of species and colors. Birds – like parakeets, canaries, and cockatiels, known for their singing abilities. These are just a few of the many types of pets people keep in their homes, and the popularity of different animals can vary greatly depending on the region and individual preferences.
➤ A lot of animals are getting extinct these days. What do you think about this?
Why is it happening?
モデル回答
The rapid rate of animal extinction is a serious concern, and it is happening for several reasons. One major factor is the destruction of natural habitats due to human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture. This results in a loss of food and shelter for wildlife, and a decrease in their overall population. Another reason is over-exploitation, such as over-fishing, hunting, and poaching. This puts too much pressure on already endangered species and drives them closer to extinction. Climate change and the introduction of non-native species can also have negative impacts on local ecosystems, which can lead to the extinction of certain animal species. The loss of biodiversity due to animal extinction has far-reaching consequences for both the natural world and for humans, as many species play important roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. To prevent further animal extinction, it is important for individuals and governments to take action by reducing human impact on the environment, protecting habitats, and promoting sustainable practices. Additionally, supporting conservation and preservation efforts can help to ensure the survival of endangered species and the overall health of our planet’s ecosystems.
➤ Earlier people used animals for their work. Now, what do people use
to do their work?
モデル回答
Earlier people used animals such as horses, oxen, and donkeys for manual labor, transportation, and other tasks. Today, people have replaced many of these animals with machines and technology. For example: Tractors and other agricultural machinery are used for plowing fields, planting crops, and harvesting. Cars, trucks, and trains are used for transportation instead of horses and other draft animals. Forklifts and other material handling equipment are used in factories and warehouses. Construction equipment such as cranes and bulldozers are used for building and demolition work.
Robotics and automation systems are used in a growing number of industries, including manufacturing, transportation, and food production. While animals are still used in some jobs and industries, such as herding livestock and working with police or military dogs, technology has largely replaced their role in manual labor and transportation. The use of machines and technology has helped to increase efficiency and productivity in many areas, but it has also created new challenges, such as job displacement and the need for workers to develop new skills.
➤ Researches are being conducted on animals, is this a good idea?
モデル回答
The use of animals in research is a complex and controversial issue. On one hand, animal testing has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of biology, medicine, and many other fields, leading to the development of life-saving treatments and cures for diseases. On the other hand, animal testing raises ethical concerns, as animals can experience pain and suffering during experiments. Additionally, the results of animal tests may not always be applicable to humans, leading to unreliable conclusions. Many organizations and scientists are working to find alternatives to animal testing, such as computer models, tissue cultures, and human clinical trials. These methods are seen as more ethical, and they can often provide more accurate results, as they are directly applicable to human biology.In conclusion, while animal testing has been important in many scientific and medical breakthroughs, it is increasingly seen as a flawed and unethical method. The development and use of alternative methods should be encouraged, in order to promote more ethical and accurate scientific research.
