　　Sample Response:

　　Well, so zoos. Do they serve a useful purpose? In my opinion they do. I think zoos are important for a couple of different reason. Firstly, they can really inspire people to care about the natural world. Um… when someone makes a personal connection with an animal at the zoo, it can have a profound effect. That person might become interested in the fate of that animal in the wild. That’s the really important role for zoos. Education, I mean. Zoos can inform people about the real dangers of extinction that exists for so many species nowadays, like tigers and rhinos and oh, I don’t know, snow leopards… And the other thing that zoos do that’s really important is that they offer opportunities for breeding endangered species. I just read something about this. A few zoos in Europe had an endangered species of horses in their collection and they bred them. Recently they reintroduced the horses back into their native homeland in Mongolia. So basically, for educational and breeding purposees, I think zoos play a useful role.
