Zoos
In my opinion Zoos should be banned, because they are taking wild animals that should be free, and are caging them up. People who own zoos should treat their animals kindly instead of leaving them in captivity and only caring for the money they earn. These people go around tranquillising these free and happy animals and forcing in a cage for people's entertainment. The saddest thing i have seen was in Singapore where there was a polar bear swimming in what looked like a 100 meter glass box,it did have a sad little ice hut but that's it. I find this sad because it should be able to roam free through the antarctic, with free land and cubs that they can teach how to hunt.
But this doesn't mean that all zoos are bad some take animals that have been found injured or lost ore even close to dying! So they are like animal shelters they take care of the animals and teach how to walk, run, and hunt again while people can watch. And then once they've grown up, they are set free to roam the earth.
All and all i think zoos can be a happy place for animals and people, for little children to enjoy or even for adults. Some zoos animals can walk around following you freely as you pat them. There are even zoos dedicated just for patting. So in my opinion, some should be band but not all just take care of animals, and are environment while we have the chance.

Pollution
I think pollution is a harsh topic to talk about because it’s destroying our environment, and us humans at the same time. Life shouldn’t be fumes letting of chemicals into the air or, mountain made out of pure rubbish. Pollution is awful and extremely depressing knowing that we only have twelve years from now to fix what we've created. I think that the creation of the nuclear bomb was the worst idea known to man.
I think a way to stop pollution is to ban and make all one use only plastic illegal. Not only would this benefit and improve are wealth and environment a lot, but will also provide future generations a clean and healthy life. To see no more sadness of people rowing boats through rivers of trash. And no for turtles choking and dying on plastic bags.
But what I find the most sad is that scientists are saying in a few years time if we don't stop pollution, that there will be more rubbish than there are fish in the ocean. And the more you can tell people about this word wide problem, and ask them to solve this, by quitting plastic for a year or even your life time, or going around planting thousands upon thousands of trees, to give fresh new oxygen. So to ever who reading please take this for granted and quit anything to solve pollution thank you.

The Art of Music
This week in 7/8 MNL we've been learning how to create paragraphs, by starting from the main idea, and then explaining that idea, and giving proof about that idea, and add a linking sentence to first sentence you wrote to round the paragraph off.
I think music is a great form of entertainment and working industry. I think music can be beautiful and uplifting. My evidence towards this is imagine a life without music, it would be boring, life would be dull, and not as happy as it should be. I wouldn’t be able to hear the birds chirping too the early sunrise, no more warming your throat by singing softly in the shower, no more hearing your favourite artists sing again, it would be depressing.
However in every time period music always seems to follow a trend, and to eventually sound exactly the same, whether it's the vocals sounding identical, or the beat and rhythm being the same. But with that there is always the one song that breaks out of this trend of looping music with beats and melody, with vocals you've never heard before.
For example some of the most noteworthy ones are, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, or Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. These songs are known for being different and took to a whole new place no one had ever seen before. Another thing to note is that it isn't easy to just simply make a song to be a hit, or liked, you need to make lyrics that makes somewhat sense, and a make a catchy beat that people can grip onto.
But no matter what music will always stick around, its been here since the beginning of the human race, by banging stones together, and making loud sounds with your mouth to form some sort of beat, so if you are ever feeling bored or sad just remember, to sing out loud bring and let that sunshine glow on you.
