In 1999, on Halloween, I and my friends decided to go to an abandoned house at the end of the street. The owner of the house had died long ago, so the house was ramshackle. We had been planning to go there when we were kids but we were afraid. It was fascinating for us to visit it because it had been said that there was a ghost. At 3 a.m, when everybody was sleeping, we escaped from our homes and rushed to the house. The front door was crumbling, so it wasn't hard for us to open it. When we entered the house, we saw tremendous stairs. It seemed it didn't have an end. At the end of the stairs, there was an old man.We couldn't see his face due to darkness. He asked what we had needed and we told him that we had come for sweets. When he was going down the stairs, we saw who he was. It was a ghost. 

It is always fun to visit a zoo. Both children and grown-ups like to watch different animals: mammals, reptiles and others. The problem is that not every city and every town has a zoo.

In my opinion, we do not have to build a zoo on every place where people live. Firstly, there are regions where animals will not live. For example, northern parts of our country lack comfortable conditions for most of animals to live. It is very cold there, and you cannot provide enough food for them. Secondly, building a zoo wherever you want is economically unjustified. Many populated localities are so small that there are not enough people who would like to pay money for visiting the zoo.

But it goes without saying that zoos are not only a funny attraction but also a kind of education. It gives positive emotions as well as useful and interesting information about the animal world. That is why a lot of people want to have a zoo built in every city and town.

Nevertheless, I cannot support this idea. If you want to know more about animality, you can use the Internet as an inexhaustible source of information: you can read thousands of pages and watch videos on youtube.

In conclusion, I would like to emphasize the fact that any zoo is great, but you should not build zoos in every city and every town.
