Eating healthily is important for you. Good eating habits are good for you in your whole life.

Our body needs energy to work. Where does energy from? It's from the food you eat every day. But it's not from one kind of food. It needs many different kinds of foods. To balance your diet, you should try to eat different foods. You are what you eat. For example, if you eat too much meat but little other foods, you will be fat. In fact, our body needs nutrients (营养) from many kinds of food like meat, vegetables, fruits and sugars. Don't forget to brush your teeth after eating sugars, because sugars are bad for your teeth.

It is good to keep animals in zoos. Zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real tiger or bear. Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned on time. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. Thirdly, Zoos protect the animals. They offer them safe place to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.

However, some people think it is unnatural (非自然的) and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. The animals such as bears and tigers always look sad in cages. Wild animals should look for their own food.
