备选话题2:动物话题
Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic To Exploit Animals for Human Purposes, Right or Wrong? You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 很多人利用动物去为人类服务,如表演、饮食、实验
2. 有人反对这种做法
3. 我的看法
这个话题曾经是21世纪报的征稿,题目是我出的。背景链接如下:
In the contemporary society, it can be seen that animals serve more functions in our daily life. Typical examples are: in daily life, animals provide mankind with food, fur and a variety of entertainments by showing their performance; in scientific research, animals are widely used in experiments of various medicine developments.
Others hold a different view that exploiting animals for human purposes carries some doubts. In their eyes, animals, as friends of humans, should be treated friendly. Killing or using animals is not moral and will impair the coexistence of men and animals. In addition, they argue that using animals for scientific research sets bad examples to children, leading them to abuse animals.
I, as well as many others, am convinced that there is something right in both arguments. However, what firstly convinces me is that exploiting animals appropriately is necessary, because it is impossible for us to use humans in labs. Then, humans are also highly hoped to reduce the pains which animals suffer in performances or scientific researches. |
