    Examiner: Are zoos cru e l to anim als?
    Student: 
    I don’t know. I th in k some zoos are cruel, fo r example zoos that keep anim als
    in s m a ll cages. But there are also zoos that give the anim als space to move and 
    look a fte r them w ell. This i th in k is good. Zoos can also help protect endangered 
    species, and this is a really great thing. There are some countries that have no laws 
    to protect th e ir anim als - th a t’s a real problem . So, overall I don't th in k zoos are as 
    bad as people think.
    Examiner: Do you th in k we could do more to protect our w ild life ?
    Student: 
    Yes, we could do a little more. I th in k many areas of rainforest w hich have 
    been
    destroyed by industries really need to be rejuvenated. Lots of w ild life live there and 
    if they don’t have these forests, they w o n ’t be able to survive. Gorillas, which are 
    one of the m ost endangered rainforest species, are dying out rapidly.
    Examiner: Do you th in k hunting is justified?
    Student: 
    I th in k hunting som etim es is a necessary thing. But I th in k hunting as a sport, when
    the main purpose is enjoym ent, is a little cruel. We a ll need to eat, and tra d itio n a l 
    societies which don’t have shops to buy food need to be able to hunt fo r the things
    they need. This is necessary fo r them to be able to live.

    Owls are divided into two groups, which are classified 'typical ow ls’ and ‘barn owls'.
    2
    Barn owls, which are nocturnal, fly silently.
    3
    Owls w hich are nomadic rear a great num ber of young.
    U Long-eared owls w hich live in the north m igrate to Europe fo r winter.
    Track 34
    Hello everyone. As you know, this w ee k’s lectures are on w ild life in B ritain, and today w e ’re going 
    to look at the barn owl, which is a com m on noctu rna l creature around the B ritish Isles. Now, 
    if you have a look at page three of your handout, you w ill see an outline of a barn owl. 
    Now, it
    looks like a 
    harm less creature, but this actually couldn’t be fu rth e r from the tru th . They may be
    relatively harm less to you and me, but to the B ritish rodent, they are a k ille r! Now, why is this? 
    Well, firs tly it has a lot to do w ith th e ir sw iftness and silence. Look, fo r example, at the wings, 
    which can vary from 80cm to 95cm. T hat’s alm ost a m etre! Wings that large have a great deal
    of power. Now, m ost people think that beaks are probably the way m ost birds hunt. But these
    beaks, w hich are curved downwards, are not used to hunt prey. When owls hunt prey, they have 
    two massive anatom ical advantages. Firstly, th e ir feathers, w hich have serrated edges, can 
    separate from each other. This makes th e ir flig h t absolutely silent, so they can approach th e ir
