Today in class, my students had speeches about the new polar bear in our zoo. His name is
Rudy and he is the first polar bear in our city. Everyone enjoyed talking about Rudy
in their speech. They didn't worry about speaking in front of their friends. Three students,
Yumi,Takuya and Misaki made wonderful speeches.
Yumi:
I think it is a wonderful idea to have Rudy. I wasn't interested in animals before I met
Rudy, but now I'm learning a lot about them. Our city has a good zoo, but people in our
city didn't often go there before. But now, many people visit the zoo to see Rudy. So
I think Rudy is very useful to teach us about the animal world.
Takuya:
I don't think Rudy is very good. Because we got Rudy, our city doesn't have money to do
other things. Of course Rudy is very useful to teach children about animals, but we should
buy more important things. For example, our city library needs more books and our school
needs new computers. Our city only has a little money. We should not use it to buy animals
for the zoo.
Misaki:
I think it is difficult to decide about Rudy. I love animals and I think that Rudy is very
useful. Our city has become more popular since we got him, and many children think he is
cute. But there are also some problems. It has been
difficult to see other animals after Rudy came, because too many people are visiting
him. And I don't feel that polar bears are so interesting. So I like Rudy, but I don't
love him.
