Sample 1

The place where I saw animals was the Chhatbir Zoo in Chandigarh. I went there last year, and I went there with my family members to begin with. Firstly, I saw an elephant, and I saw it for the first time in my life. It was massive, and I was mesmerised after seeing it. Apart from that, I saw a hippopotamus. It was also huge, but the hippopotamus had glowing, glossy skin, unlike the elephant.

Apart from that, I saw a zebra over there and was mesmerised after seeing it because of its beauty. It was challenging to describe whether the black skin has white stripes on it or the white skin has black stripes on it. So that was a fascinating thing.

I felt perfect about the place because I live in a city with a lot of hustle and bustle, so every day I experience traffic jams and loud noises going to a zoo where there is a lot of nature where nature creations are and where there is a forest kind of environment, so it was a mind-blowing experience. I came across a different world I only imagined in my dreams, so I liked that place very much and would like to visit it again and again.

Follow-ups

1. Why do stories and movies for children always feature animals?

The stories and movies for children always feature animals, making these stories and films fascinating for children. Children are fascinated by animals, as most of their toys are related to animals. So that’s why the producers and directors leave no stone unturned to put animal characters inside the movie so that the children do not feel bored while watching the film.

2. How did animals help people in the past?

Animals helped people in the past in many ways before the arrival of machines. Animals provided humans with unceasing support related to transportation and food. Also, donkey horses are a prime example of people who carried people from one place to another before the arrival of motor vehicles. Even dogs are prevalent in snowy areas to transport humans from one place to another.

3. Do you think people are more interested in animals now than in the past?

Yes, people are more interested in animals now than in the past because, as far as the past is concerned, the primary focus of humans towards animals was exploitation, whether it was for travel or food. But now the focus has changed, and most people have become animal-friendly and do not want to harm them, so in the coming years, animal treatment may improve.
