Task 2
Reading Passage:
Zoos are often seen as institutions that are necessary for animal conservation and education. However, the practice of keeping animals in zoos is controversial, and there are valid arguments against it. One of the most compelling arguments is that animals in captivity suffer from psychological and physical health problems. This is because zoos often cannot provide animals with the same quality of life that they would have in the wild. For example, animals in zoos may be confined to small spaces, lack opportunities to socialize with others of their own species, and may not have access to the same kinds of food and environmental stimuli that they would in the wild. Additionally, zoos can perpetuate the idea that animals are objects to be displayed and can contribute to the belief that it is acceptable to use animals for human entertainment.

Task 4
Reading Passage:
Democracy is widely regarded as the best form of government, but this is not necessarily true in all cases. While it is true that democracy allows for individual freedoms and encourages citizen participation, it can also lead to gridlock and inaction due to the need for consensus-building and compromise. Additionally, democratic systems can be corrupted by special interests and powerful individuals who use their wealth and influence to sway public opinion and control the political process. In some cases, a more authoritarian form of government may be better suited to address the needs of a society.
Listening Passage:
Lecturer: Today we're going to talk about different forms of government. The reading passage argues that democracy is the best form of government, but that's not necessarily true. While democracy does have many benefits, it also has its drawbacks. Can you think of any?

Student: So what are some other forms of government that might be better in certain situations?
Lecturer: Well, there's authoritarianism, which is characterized by a strong central government and limited individual freedoms. This can be more efficient in getting things done, but it also leaves little room for dissent and can lead to abuse of power. Another possibility is a hybrid system that combines elements of democracy and authoritarianism.
