 Todd: What do you think about the zoo?

 
Dianna: I like to go to the zoo. I like to give all the animals names, like "Bert the Giraffe", but I wish the animals didn't have to be in the zoo, but I think it is good when zoos save1 animals, and help to make their populations3 grow.

Learn Vocabulary16 from the lesson
save
 
Zoos save animals.
 
To 'save' an animal is to protect17 it from danger18 or death19.  The example says that zoos keep the animals safe from death.  Notice the following20:
 
He saved21 my life22 last year.
We need to save more water.
population2
 
Zoos help to make animal populations grow.
 
The animal 'population' is the number of animals there are.  We can also use this to talk about the number of humans23 there are in a city or town.  Notice the following:
 
What is the population of your city?
The population is increasing24 every year.
definitely
 
Zoos can do some good things, definitely.
 
'Definitely' is similar25 to certainly26 or for sure.  We use this for something that is a fact27.  Notice the following:
 
He will definitely come to the party.
We can definitely take care28 of your daughter on Friday night.
pet
 
I love cats, just as a pet.
 
A 'pet' is an animal that lives in your house with you.  You care for it and give it food and love.  Notice the following:
 
He keeps a snake as a pet.
Do you have any pets?
in the wild
 
Have you ever seen a monkey in the wild?
 
If an animal is 'in the wild' it is in its natural29 habitat30 or home, not in a cage31 at the zoo.  Notice the following:
 
Didn't you see a shark in the wild last year?
At the end of our hike32 we saw33 a bear in the wild.
