PART B_2

Have you ever heard of a “quagga”? Perhaps not, but you may have seen a zebra before. The quagga was a member of the zebra family. They are brownish with white stripes around their necks and the front parts of their bodies. It is often said that quaggas looked like “zebras which had forgotten to put on their pajama pants.” They lived in Southern Africa; unfortunately, they went extinct in the 19th century due to overhunting.

However, some researchers have tried to “revive” the quagga. Due to their attractive stripe pattern, these animals have attracted the attention of those interested in animal conservation. They have conducted the Quagga Project in South Africa for over thirty years, and the researchers discovered that zebras are genetically close to the quagga. In this project, the researchers have attempted to selectively breed plain zebras with fewer stripes and have similarities to the quagga. The baby zebras born to quagga-like parents looked more like the actual quagga but with a reduced number of stripes.

The project has achieved success by producing baby zebras that have a striking resemblance to the quagga.

(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART B_2

We are not certain of the amount of pesticides we can safely consume. It may be a good idea to consume less of them, but not everyone can afford to regularly buy organic food. For example, organic eggs may cost 50% more than the ordinary kind, but an organic chicken can cost 6 times more than the price of the factory-farmed ones.

It is easy for us to forget that we would not have so much cheap food without industrial farming methods. Many people would say we should give up meat every day. It provides health, ethical, and ecological reasons. Some may argue that we have become used to a way of life that is destroying our environment and harming our health. Critics, on the other hand, consider it too idealistic to think that we can produce the food the world needs organically.

The main problem with organic seems to be the fact that it opposes big businesses by being one. Many products are unsustainable; they may be good for us, but not for the planet. What we can do is replace “organic” with “local” or “hand-made.”
