SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to talk about an occasion on which I got to see elephants. I have had the chance to see a lot of animals with my naked eyes, but the most intriguing one for me are intelligent elephants. Elephants are mammals as well as herbivores, meaning they only eat plants rather than meat.
Elephants are the largest land animals on earth, and they’re one of the most unique-looking animals, too. With their characteristic long noses, or trunks; large, floppy ears; and wide, thick legs, there is no other animal with a similar physique.
It was last summer when my whole family had a trip to Ho Chi Minh City, and we decided to visit the city’s renowned zoo, Thao Cam Vien. It was ranked eighth among the oldest zoos in the world. It is 132 years old. It is the house to rare orchids, ornamental plants and hundreds of species of mammals, reptiles and birds. The main aim of Thao Cam Vien is to conserve animals and plants, especially endangered species and educate the public. One way to protect these species is by using breeding programs.
I got the chance to see a group of elephants swimming, which is entirely unexpected for me as I didn’t know that they have this ability. Elephants move all four legs to swim and can move quite fast. Their giant bodies provide enough flotation while the trunk acts as a snorkel. From my observation, baby elephants enjoy playing in the water. They will often try to climb on the backs of older and bigger elephants and then splash back into the water. Calves will suck water into their trunks and spray at each other playfully.
Elephants feature many characteristics that are similar to humans. Apart from their gigantic bodies, they also boast extraordinary memories. Besides, they are recognized as being among the most intelligent creatures on earth. Elephants are capable of a range of emotions, including joy, playfulness, grief and mourning. Also, elephants can learn new facts and behaviours, mimic sounds that they hear, self-medicate, play with a sense of humour, perform artistic activities, use tools and display compassion and self-awareness.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
How do you like taking care of animals?
To me, taking care of animals is an arduous task. Besides providing all the necessary things, like food, water, shelter and safety, you also need to provide quality health care for them. I am not an animal lover. I get frightened by different kinds of animals due to my experiences with them, and the only kind that I feel comfortable to be with are birds. I admire them for their beautiful voices and the unique ability to fly.
What kinds of pets are most popular in Vietnam?
Vietnamese people love their pets, especially dogs. They appreciate dogs for the company and the loyalty they provide. You could find a dog, a cat or a cow being owned by a Vietnamese family. It is not for any monetary reasons but because they like being surrounded by animals and taking great care of them. Animals do bring a certain amount of happiness and togetherness in a family. Fishes are another common pets in Vietnam even though they don’t do much for their owners. Besides, some foreigners are surprised to know that birds and reptiles are prefered by many Vietnamese.
What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of having a pet?
On the one hand, having domesticated animals at home is interesting. Some people decide to own pets because they need a companion at home. Playing with pets is a kind of refreshment. On the other hand, the disadvantages of having pets relate mostly to the responsibility of caring for them. Pet owners must discharge their duties responsibly by feeding these animals with proper food, exercising them and ensuring they get medical treatment, as well as the required yearly vaccination.
