My Comfortable Resting Place



HIU has a new lounge that is a very comfortable space, so I always go there when I want to take a rest and do homework. When I open the door, I can feel the snug atmosphere. Two oval tables are standing right in the center. These tables are very big, so I can spread out a lot of my belongings such as my laptop and many books when I study. Also, I can gossip with friends over coffee. When I sit there, I can see people who are walking by on the street. Moreover, I can see many trees, green grass, and a blue table. I feel so happy when I see the outside. The corner side has many windows and sofa. Sunshine comes in through the windows. When I sit on the sofa, I can receive warm sunshine. In addition, the sofas are very comfortable, so I always fall asleep when I sit there. It seems like my bed, so I am happy. In the center of the left side, the TV is standing. It is attached to the wall, so my neck feels comfortable when I watch it. Moreover, a U-shaped sectional sofa surrounds the TV. It is very big and comfortable. It can accommodate 15 people. The TV has an advantage which is that has good speakers. Around the corner in the next room, I can see beverages, coffee, and snack vending machines when I enter the lounge. It has a lot of products, so according to my preference, I can choose whatever I want. Also, I want products that are much cheaper than other stores. If I buy anything there, I can save my money. The floor has carpet that has multi-colored stripes. In the middle, the round tables are standing the carpet. It has many color, so I can see blue, red, and green colored tables.

Animals in The Zoo vs. Animals in The Wild







Have you ever seen animals that live in different places? You can see animals anywhere such as streets and houses, but most animals live in the zoo and in the wild. Animals that live in the zoo and animals that live in the wild are different in environment, nutrition, and character.

One difference between zoo animals and wild animals is their environment. Animals that live in the zoo can live in a good place because zookeepers always make a good residential environment. Zookeepers endeavor in order that animals can live in an environment that is similar to their natural habitat. For example, zookeepes give good quality not only wood but also straw, so tigers and bears that live in the zoo can play in what seems like the wild. Aloso, zookeepers always control animals' area's temperature. In the case of penguins, they must live in a cool environment, so zookeepers turn down animals' area temperature and put a lot of ice in their area. Moreover, the zoo guarantees animals' security because animals are separated into their own areas. Animals don't need to worry about their predators, so they can breed their offspring. If animals live in the zoo, they can feel comfortable.On the other hand, animals that live in the wild can't live a safe environment. They just live in the wild, so if they can't find a suitable home, they can't live happily. For instance, they have to look for an area that fits their body. In order to seek their area, they always move. If they can't find a suitable area, they can't receive security guarantees. There are predators in the wild, so they can be killed by other animals anywhere. If animals live in ther wild, their life will be uncomfortable.

Another difference is animals' different nutrition. Animals that live in the zoo can always eat nutritious food. Zookeepers prepare both delicious foods and fresh fruits, so animals can eat enough nutrition every day. In addition to eating good food, they can take supplements. Besides making up for missing nutrients, supplements can remove germs in their body. For example, some animals have weak health, so zookeepers put supplements inside their food. Thus, they can ingest good nutrition and receive much help from zookeepers. In contrast, animals that live in the wild can't eat good food. They usually hunt other animals and eat that, or they eat food remnants. While zoo animals eat high quality food, wild animals eat dirty food. These foods are sometimes bad foods and have bad nutrition because these foods might have germs, so if they eat these foods, their health might be bad. Furthermore, they can't ingest any supplements. They should control their health themselves. If they can't receive any help, they may die easily.

The last difference is animals' character. Generally, most animals have violent personalities, yet there is an exception. Animals that live in the zoo have gentle personalities, so you can see animals that play with zookeepers. Actually, they become domesticated by zookeepers during the early stages of development. Whereas a person who lives with wild animals has high risk of accidents, zookeepers have a low risk of accidents from zoo animals. On the other hand, animals that live in the wild have violent personalities. They always catch or kill other animals, so violent behavior is ingrained in their body. Also, they can't act charming to someone. They don't know how to exercise their talent. They have just wild personality.

To sum up, animals have different environment, nutrition, and character because they live in many different environments. As a result, they receive different effects. In my opinion, even though zoo animals are provided much benefits from zookeepers, wild animals can't receive some care from somebody. We can help animals that live in the zoo, but we can't help animals that live in the wild. Therefore, we should get much concern and help wild animals.
