I'm going to give a talk about animals.
1) what wild animals live in our region
2)why people build zoos in the cities and towns
3)whether it is a good idea to keep a wild animal as a pet, and why
1) To begin with, there are about three dozen wild animals in our region. They are elks, deer, wild boars, bobcats (lynxes), bears, wolves, foxes, hares, squirrels, hedgehogs, beavers, chipmunks and much more.
2) Today it's a common thing to protect different species of animals, especially if they're in danger because everyone can hear that the number of endangered species steadily grows. In such a way the question is how humanity can stop extinction. So, people build zoos in the cities and towns, create special areas - national parks. Besides, people can see alive the animals that are exotic for their region and can't be seen in wild nature! For example, lions, tigers, giraffes, many different birds, mountain goats, monkeys and so on.
3) The last item I would like to say a few words about is whether it is a good idea to keep a wild animal as a pet, and why. From my point of view, it's a horrible idea trying to deprive animals of their habitat. For me, it's some kind of selfishness and refers to unfair actions. Besides, animals can escape and then they are dangerous for other people.
That's all I wanted to say.
President Franklin Roosevelt called December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy." The vulnerable United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor was not on a state of high alert, a junior officer disregarding the report of the approaching Japanese air attack detected at Oahu's northern shore radar station. The bombing caused massive explosions killing over 2,300 Americans and completely destroyed the American battleship U.S.S. Arizona and capsized the U.S.S. Oklahoma. The attack sank or beached a total of twelve ships and damaged nine others. The attack took the country by surprise, especially the ill-prepared Pearl Harbor base.
A hurried dispatch from the ranking United States naval officer in Pearl Harbor, known as the Commander in Chief Pacific, to all major navy commands and fleet units provided the first official word of the attack. It said simply: "AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT drill ." Radio stations receiving the news interrupted regular broadcasts to announce the tragic news. Most people knew what the attack meant for the U.S. even before Roosevelt's official announcement the next day. The Americans believed a Japanese attack was imminent. The U.S. was already close to joining the war, but it had only committed to sending war supplies on loan to the Allied forces. Within days, the United States was brought into World War II.
