Speaking Part 1 Sample Pet/Animal

Pet 

1.Do you have a pet? Why or why not?

Band 6.0+: No, I don’t. I love animals, but I don’t have enough time to take care of one.

Band 8.0+ (Technique: Advantage): Unfortunately, I don’t have a pet due to my busy schedule. However, I’d love to adopt a dog in the future because pets bring so much joy and companionship.

adopt /əˈdɒpt/ v nhận nuôi
companionship /kəmˈpænjənʃɪp/ n sự đồng hành, tình bạn
busy schedule /ˈbɪzi ˈʃedjuːl/ n phr lịch trình bận rộn
take care of /teɪk keə(r) əv/ phrasal verb chăm sóc, săn sóc

Do you keep a pet? (Why/ Why not?)

Sample 1 (Example + Advantage): Currently, I don't have a pet because my schedule is quite hectic. For instance, I often work late, and it wouldn't be fair to leave an animal alone for so long. The primary advantage of not having a pet right now is that I have more flexibility and fewer domestic responsibilities.

Sample 2 (Time + Popularity): I’ve been thinking about getting a cat for a long time. Keeping a small pet has become immensely popular for city dwellers because they provide a sense of companionship without requiring a huge amount of space. I think it would be very therapeutic to have a furry friend to greet me after work.

hectic /ˈhektɪk/ adj tất bật, hối hả
domestic responsibility /dəˈmestɪk rɪˌspɒnsəˈbɪləti/ n phr trách nhiệm công việc nhà, gia đình
therapeutic /ˌθerəˈpjuːtɪk/ adj có tác dụng chữa lành, thư giãn

2. Why do some people keep pets at home?

I think we would all agree that pets are loyal companions to human. Especially for those who adopt pets when they were just newborns, these animals are like the precious children to many families.

loyal companion /ˈlɔɪəl kəmˈpænjən/ n phr người bạn đồng hành trung thành
adopt pets /əˈdɒpt pets/ phrase nhận nuôi thú cưng
newborn /ˈnjuːbɔːn/ n động vật mới sinh, sơ sinh
precious children /ˈpreʃəs ˈtʃɪldrən/ n phr những đứa con quý giá

3. Have you ever had a pet before?

I used to have a puppy corgi when I was a kid. He and I were best friends, actually. I remember taking him to the park, feeding him with milk and training him with many cool tricks. Sadly, when I got older, I discovered that I am allergic to dog fur, so I had to give him away.

train with tricks /treɪn wɪð trɪks/ phrase huấn luyện các trò vui, mẹo
be allergic to /bi əˈlɜːdʒɪk tu/ phrase dị ứng với cái gì
dog fur /dɒɡ fɜː(r)/ n phr lông chó
give sth away /ɡɪv ˈsʌmθɪŋ əˈweɪ/ phrasal verb cho đi, nhượng lại cho người khác

Have you ever had a pet before?

Sample 1 (Example + Advantage): Yes, I used to have a pair of lovebirds. Specifically, I loved listening to them chirp in the morning. The major draw of having birds was that they were relatively low-maintenance but still provided a vibrant and lively atmosphere in my apartment.

Sample 2 (Time + Popularity): I had a hamster for a short time during my university years. Small rodents were all the rage among students because they were budget-friendly and didn't require much room. It was a nice way to have some companionship during long study sessions.

low-maintenance /ˌləʊ ˈmeɪntənəns/ adj dễ chăm sóc, không tốn nhiều công sức
vibrant /ˈvaɪbrənt/ adj sôi động, đầy sức sống
rodent /ˈrəʊdnt/ n loài gặm nhấm
all the rage /ɔːl ðə reɪdʒ/ idiom đang là mốt, rất phổ biến
lively atmosphere /ˈlaɪvli ˈætməsfɪə(r)/ n phr bầu không khí sống động

4.What are the most common pets in your country?

Band 6.0+: Dogs and cats are the most popular pets in my country. A lot of families keep them because they are friendly and easy to take care of.

Band 8.0+ (Technique: Popularity): Dogs and cats top the list, mainly because they’re affectionate and make great companions. However, smaller pets like hamsters, birds, and fish are also common, especially for people living in apartments where space is limited.

top the list /tɒp ðə lɪst/ phrase đứng đầu danh sách
city dweller /ˈsɪti ˈdwelə(r)/ n phr cư dân thành phố
affectionate /əˈfekʃənət/ adj tình cảm, trìu mến
limited space /ˈlɪmɪtɪd speɪs/ n phr không gian hạn chế

5.Do you think people should adopt pets instead of buying them?

Band 6.0+ (Technique: Reason): Yes, I think people should adopt pets because there are many homeless animals that need a loving home. Adoption also saves lives and is usually cheaper than buying.

Band 8.0+ (Technique: Advantage): Definitely! Adopting a pet saves lives and helps reduce animal overpopulation. Plus, shelter pets are often just as loving as those bought from breeders.

save lives /seɪv laɪvz/ phrase cứu sống
animal overpopulation /ˈænɪml ˌəʊvəˌpɒpjuˈleɪʃn/ n phr tình trạng động vật nuôi quá tải
breeder /ˈbriːdə(r)/ n người nhân giống, chăn nuôi động vật
shelter pet /ˈʃeltə(r) pet/ n phr thú cưng ở trung tâm cứu hộ

6.What are the benefits of having a pet?

Band 6.0+: Pets give people good company and help them feel less lonely. They can also make people happier after a long day, especially when they play or cuddle with their pets.

Band 8.0+ (Technique: Advantage): Pets offer unconditional love and help reduce stress levels. They also encourage people to stay active, especially dog owners.

unconditional love /ˌʌnkənˈdɪʃənl lʌv/ n phr tình yêu vô điều kiện
stress level /stres ˈlevl/ n phr mức độ căng thẳng
stay active /steɪ ˈæktɪv/ phrase duy trì sự năng động
keep sb company /kiːp ˈsʌmbədi ˈkʌmpəni/ phrase ở bên, làm bạn với ai cho bớt cô đơn

7. How can people take good care of their pets?

Band 6.0+: People should feed their pets regularly, give them clean water, and take them to the vet when they’re sick. They also need to spend time playing with them and keeping them clean.

Band 8.0+: Pet owners should provide a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper medical care to ensure their pets live a long and healthy life.

balanced diet /ˌbælənst ˈdaɪət/ phrase chế độ ăn uống cân bằng
proper medical care /ˈprɒpə(r) ˈmedɪkl keə(r)/ n phr chăm sóc y tế phù hợp, đúng cách
regular exercise /ˈreɡjələ(r) ˈeksəsaɪz/ n phr vận động, tập thể dục thường xuyên
ensure /ɪnˈʃʊə(r)/ v đảm bảo, bảo đảm

8. Did you have any pets when you were a child? (Why/ Why not?)

Sample 1 (Example + Advantage): Yes, my family had a golden retriever when I was growing up. Specifically, I was responsible for feeding him every morning. The major benefit of having a pet during my carefree period was that it taught me about empathy and the importance of looking after another living being.

Sample 2 (Time + Popularity): We didn't have any pets back then because my mother was quite fastidious about house cleanliness. While having a dog was highly popular in my neighborhood, we spent our time visiting my uncle’s farm instead, which was a more budget-friendly way to interact with animals.

carefree period /ˈkeəfri ˈpɪəriəd/ n phr khoảng thời gian vô lo vô nghĩ
empathy /ˈempəθi/ n sự thấu cảm
fastidious /fæˈstɪdiəs/ adj cẩn thận, kỹ tính (về sự sạch sẽ, chi tiết)
house cleanliness /haʊs ˈklenlɪnəs/ n phr sự sạch sẽ của nhà cửa
budget-friendly /ˈbʌdʒɪt ˈfrendli/ adj rẻ, tiết kiệm ngân sách

9. What’s your favorite animal? Why?

Sample 1 (Example + Advantage): I’ve always been partial to dolphins. To give you an example, I find their high level of intelligence and social behavior fascinating. The primary draw for me is their playful nature, which I find very aesthetically pleasing and inspiring.

Sample 2 (Time + Popularity): Dogs are my absolute favorite. They have been popular as "man’s best friend" for centuries. I could spend a vast amount of time watching videos of their loyalty and bravery; there is something truly heartwarming about the bond between a human and a canine.

be partial to /bi ˈpɑːʃl tu/ phrase rất thích, thiên vị cái gì
fascinating /ˈfæsɪneɪtɪŋ/ adj lôi cuốn, hấp dẫn
aesthetically pleasing /esˈθetɪkli ˈpliːzɪŋ/ phrase có tính thẩm mỹ cao
heartwarming /ˈhɑːtwɔːmɪŋ/ adj cảm động, ấm lòng
canine /ˈkeɪnaɪn/ n loài chó, họ nhà chó

10. Where do you prefer to keep your pet, indoors or outdoors?

Sample 1 (Advantage + Example): I strongly prefer keeping pets indoors. The main advantage is that it keeps them safe from harsh weather and traffic. For instance, an indoor cat is much less likely to get injured or pick up parasites, which ensures they live a long and healthy life.

Sample 2 (Time + Cost): Most people in my country keep their dogs outdoors if they have a yard. While this saves time on cleaning the house, I think keeping them inside is a worthwhile investment of effort. It allows for more quality time and strengthens the emotional bond between the owner and the pet.

harsh weather /hɑːʃ ˈweðə(r)/ n phr thời tiết khắc nghiệt
parasite /ˈpærəsaɪt/ n ký sinh trùng
worthwhile investment /ˌwɜːθˈwaɪl ɪnˈvestmənt/ n phr sự đầu tư xứng đáng
quality time /ˈkwɒləti taɪm/ n phr thời gian gắn kết chất lượng
emotional bond /ɪˈməʊʃənl bɒnd/ n phr mối liên kết cảm xúc

Will Animal

Chủ đề động vật hoang dã thì thường có các câu sau nha.

1. What’s your favourite wild animal?

Tiger, for many reasons. As you know, tigers symbolize numerous positive traits such as power, individuality, patience and you named it. All of them deeply inspire me. Additionally, tigers are also my zodiac animals, so I have a belief that a spiritual tiger would represent a part of my fate and characteristics.

symbolize /ˈsɪmbəlaɪz/ v tượng trưng cho
positive trait /ˈpɒzətɪv treɪt/ n phr nét tính cách tích tích cực
zodiac animal /ˈzəʊdiæk ˈænɪml/ n phr con giáp, con vật hoàng đạo
inspire /ɪnˈspaɪə(r)/ v truyền cảm hứng
individuality /ˌɪndɪˌvɪdʒuˈæləti/ n cá tính riêng, nét độc đáo cá nhân

2. Have you ever seen wild animals?

In a metropolis such as HCMC, a zoo is the only place where wild animals can be seen. You know, when I was a kid, my parents used to reward me if I performed excellently in my studies with a trip to the zoo. So obviously, I visited the zoo several times. However, the older I get, the more I hate going to the zoo as I am against imprisoning wild animals.

metropolis /məˈtrɒpəlɪs/ n siêu đô thị, thành phố lớn
perform excellently /pəˈfɔːm ˈeksələntli/ phrase thể hiện, đạt thành tích xuất sắc
reward sb with sth /rɪˈwɔːd ˈsʌmbədi wɪð ˈsʌmθɪŋ/ phrase thưởng cho ai cái gì
be against sth /bi əˈɡenst ˈsʌmθɪŋ/ phrase phản đối, không ủng hộ điều gì
imprison /ɪmˈprɪzn/ v giam giữ, bỏ tù

3. Do you like watching animals in the zoo?

No. To be honest, I think it is inhumane to deprive the freedom and the true habitat of these wild animals. Fortunately, nowadays, there are introductions of many new kinds of preservation which still conserve wildlife such as safari and animal national parks. Therefore, people have more choices to have the observation of wild animals instead of visiting zoos.

inhumane /ˌɪnhjuːˈmeɪn/ adj tàn nhẫn, thiếu nhân đạo
deprive freedom /dɪˈpraɪv ˈfriːdəm/ phrase tước đoạt sự tự do
conserve wildlife /kənˈsɜːv ˈwaɪldlaɪf/ phrase bảo tồn động vật hoang dã
national park /ˌnæʃnəl ˈpɑːk/ n phr vườn quốc gia
observation /ˌɒbzəˈveɪʃn/ n sự quan sát, theo dõi

Do you like to see animals in the zoo?

I've been to the zoo once, so I can't really tell whether I'm into it. It was good to see exotic animals like lions or giraffes when you were a kid. But when I got older, I've come to realize that zoos are no different from prisons for animals, where they are caged and locked away from their natural habitat.

exotic animal /ɪɡˈzɒtɪk ˈænɪml/ n phr động vật quý hiếm, độc lạ
be no different from /bi nəʊ ˈdɪfrənt frəm/ phrase không khác gì
cage /keɪdʒ/ v nhốt vào lồng, chuồng
lock away /lɒk əˈweɪ/ phrasal verb nhốt cách ly, giam giữ
natural habitat /ˈnætʃrəl ˈhæbɪtæt/ n phr môi trường sống tự nhiên

4. What is the most popular animal in Vietnam?

I suppose the most popular animal in my country is the dog. A lot of Vietnamese children grow up with fond memories about their puppies as their childhood best friend. Besides, you can see that there are many dog rescue groups in the main cities, which aims to save dogs from being abandoned or kidnapped.

fond memories /fɒnd ˈmemərɪz/ n phr những ký ức đẹp, vui vẻ
dog rescue group /dɒɡ ˈreskjuː ɡruːp/ n phr nhóm giải cứu chó
abandon /əˈbændən/ v bỏ rơi, ruồng bỏ
kidnap /ˈkɪdnæp/ v bắt cóc (thú cưng)

What is the most popular animal in your country?

Sample 1 (Popularity + Example): Dogs are undoubtedly the most sought-after pets. For example, you can see people walking their dogs in almost every public park. Their popularity stems from the fact that they are seen as loyal companions and even protectors of the home.

Sample 2 (Time + Cost): Recently, ornamental fish have become increasingly popular. Many people spend a lot of time and money setting up elaborate aquariums. While high-end fish can be quite costly, they are considered aesthetically pleasing and are believed by some to bring good luck and prosperity.

sought-after /ˈsɔːt ɑːftə(r)/ adj được săn đón, ưa chuộng
ornamental fish /ˌɔːnəˈmentl fɪʃ/ n phr cá cảnh
elaborate aquarium /ɪˈlæbərət əˈkweəriəm/ n phr bể cá cảnh công phu, tỉ mỉ
prosperity /prɒˈsperəti/ n sự thịnh vượng

Speaking Part 2 Sample

Describe an interesting animal

You should say about:

  • What animal it is;
  • What features it has;
  • Why you find it interesting;

And explain how you feel about it.

Suggested answer

To talk about an interesting animal, the first thing that comes to my mind is the sloth. Sloths are tropical mammals that live in South America. Sloths have short, flat heads, big eyes; short snouts, long legs, and tiny ears. Some species have stubby tails. Altogether, sloths' bodies are usually between 50 and 60 cm long. Sloths are portrayed as hilariously slow in Disney’s latest movie ‘Zootopia’ - a smash hit internationally, as it appealed to all age groups. And also thanks to that movie, I came to know this animal.

Besides, they are experts in playing cute. I think that's probably the reason why so many people like sloths, including me.

And after reading a few articles about sloths, What strikes me the most is that sloths are ‘vegans’, they eat leaves, flower petals and other plant products. They use their long claws to hang onto branches while they feast on the leaves that other animals can't reach. And surprisingly, they are strong swimmers. They will sometimes drop down from their treetop perches into water and use their extended arms to propel through the water.

They are herbivores. They can be compared to koala bears in some ways, as they are both considered to be bone idle.

So I think it’s a really interesting animal and I hope to see it in the flesh one day.

sloth /sləʊθ/ n con lười
mammal /ˈmæml/ n động vật có vú
stubby /ˈstʌbi/ adj mũm mĩm, mập mạp
portray /pɔːˈtreɪ/ v khắc họa
vegan /ˈviːɡən/ n người ăn chay

Describe a place you have visited where you can see interesting animals

You should say:

  • why you went there
  • what the place looked like
  • what you did there

And which animals you found particularly interesting.

Sample

(Intro) To tell you the truth, I am a real nature geek, and I enjoy any time when I can be in the wild. That said, in order to be safe, we should just go to a secured zone like to the zoo or a safari park. I will share with you about a trip I had to a wildlife park called Vinpearl Safari which is genuinely a eye-opener to me

(Story) This park is located in Phu Quoc island, which is a beautiful and renowned tourist destination, located in the south of Vietnam. I went there around 2 years ago with my dude and as a nature lover, I put the safari trip on the top of my list. I had been watching loads of videos about some baby alpacas scampering around and I could not wat to come there to these adorable friends in the flesh

(Opinion) When I first entered the park, I was hooked by how massive it was. Then I saw a big board displaying the map of the home of many species living there, and suggested routes for visitors for their trip. I decided to take a bus to the zone near the edge of the island to see my favorite alpacas. Along the way, I also saw a group of rhinos grazing grass on the side of the road. It looked really peaceful. They were playful, rolling in dust and shaking their heads when they were fed by some children visitors.

The scenery there was so stunning that I can still remember it vividly. I had a truly rewarding experience with those fun animals in Vinpearl Phu Quoc.

Describe a story you know that involves an animal (like in a movie or a book)

You should say:

  • What the movie or book is about
  • When and where you watched it
  • Are there any other animals in the movie or book

And explain how you felt about this movie or book

I’d like to talk about a movie called The Lion King, which is an animated film featuring a lot of animals. I watched this movie for the first time when I was a child, probably at home with my family during the weekend. Even though it was a children’s movie, I think it contains many meaningful lessons about life, responsibility, and personal growth.

The movie is about a young lion named Simba, who is the son of the king of the Pride Lands. After losing his father in a tragic accident, Simba runs away because he feels guilty and believes he cannot face his responsibilities. However, as he grows older, he learns to overcome his fears, return to his homeland, and take his rightful place as a leader.

Besides lions, there are many other animals in the movie, such as meerkats, warthogs, birds, and hyenas. Each character has a different personality and plays an important role in developing the story. For example, Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat and a warthog, help Simba get through difficult times and teach him to enjoy life.

What I found most interesting about this movie was how it used animals to represent human emotions and relationships. The story was entertaining, but it also carried a deeper message about courage, friendship, and finding your own identity. The characters really came to life through the storytelling, which made the movie much more memorable.

I felt deeply connected to this movie because it was not just an entertaining film but also something that taught me valuable lessons. Even now, when I think about The Lion King, it still brings back fond memories of my childhood. I believe it is a timeless story because people of different ages can take away something meaningful from it.

feature a lot of animals /ˈfiːtʃər ə lɒt əv ˈænɪmlz/ phrase có sự xuất hiện của nhiều loài động vật

Speaking Part 3 Sample

1. Why do children enjoy stories about animals?

I think children enjoy animal stories because animals are often presented as interesting and relatable characters. Unlike ordinary stories, animal characters can have human-like personalities, which makes it easier for children to connect with them emotionally. In addition, these stories usually contain simple but meaningful messages about friendship, kindness, and courage. Many animal stories can capture children’s imagination and encourage them to explore the world around them. Another reason is that animals are naturally attractive to children because they are curious about different creatures and their behaviours. Therefore, animal stories are not only entertaining but also help children develop their understanding of emotions and relationships.

relatable characters /rɪˈleɪtəbl ˈkærəktəz/ n phr nhân vật gần gũi, dễ đồng cảm
human-like personalities /ˈhjuːmən laɪk ˌpɜːsəˈnælətiz/ n phr tính cách giống con người
capture children's imagination /ˈkæptʃə ˈtʃɪldrənz ɪˌmædʒɪˈneɪʃn/ phrase thu hút trí tưởng tượng của trẻ
connect emotionally with something /kəˈnekt ɪˈməʊʃənəli wɪð ˈsʌmθɪŋ/ phrase kết nối về mặt cảm xúc với điều gì đó
meaningful messages /ˈmiːnɪŋfl ˈmesɪdʒɪz/ n phr những thông điệp ý nghĩa

2. What can people learn from animal stories?

Animal stories can teach people many valuable lessons, especially about human behaviour and relationships. Although the characters are animals, they often represent different types of people and situations in real life. Through these stories, readers can learn about values such as honesty, responsibility, and compassion. For example, a story about a loyal dog may teach children the importance of friendship and trust. Besides that, animal stories can also raise awareness of environmental issues by showing the importance of protecting wildlife and respecting nature. In my opinion, the greatest value of animal stories is that they deliver important lessons in an enjoyable and memorable way.

valuable lessons /ˈvæljuəbl ˈlesnz/ n phr những bài học giá trị
represent real-life situations /ˌreprɪˈzent ˌrɪəl ˈlaɪf ˌsɪtʃuˈeɪʃnz/ phrase đại diện cho những tình huống thực tế
compassion /kəmˈpæʃn/ n lòng trắc ẩn, sự cảm thông
raise awareness of environmental issues /reɪz əˈweənəs əv ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmentl ˈɪʃuːz/ phrase nâng cao nhận thức về vấn đề môi trường
deliver important lessons /dɪˈlɪvə(r) ɪmˈpɔːtnt ˈlesnz/ phrase truyền tải những bài học quan trọng

3. Do films influence how people view animals?

Yes, I believe films have a significant influence on the way people perceive animals. Movies often create emotional connections between audiences and animal characters, which can change the way people think about certain species. For example, documentaries about endangered animals can encourage viewers to develop greater appreciation for wildlife and become more aware of conservation issues. On the other hand, fictional films may sometimes create unrealistic images of animals, making people misunderstand their real behaviours. Therefore, while films can be a powerful tool for education, viewers should also look for accurate information from reliable sources.

have a significant influence on /hæv ə sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt ˈɪnfluəns ɒn/ phrase có ảnh hưởng đáng kể đến
perceive animals /pəˈsiːv ˈænɪmlz/ phrase nhìn nhận động vật
create emotional connections /kriˈeɪt ɪˈməʊʃənl kəˈnekʃnz/ phrase tạo ra sự kết nối cảm xúc
develop greater appreciation for wildlife /dɪˈveləp ˈɡreɪtər əˌpriːʃiˈeɪʃn fə(r) ˈwaɪldlaɪf/ phrase trân trọng động vật hoang dã hơn
conservation issues /ˌkɒnsəˈveɪʃn ˈɪʃuːz/ n phr các vấn đề bảo tồn

4. Why are animals often used in stories?

I think animals are frequently used in stories because they can represent human characteristics in a simple and creative way. Writers often use animals as symbols to express ideas about society, emotions, and morality without directly talking about people. For example, a clever fox may represent intelligence, while a brave lion can symbolize courage. Using animals also makes stories more appealing to children because these characters are easier to remember and imagine. Furthermore, animal characters can make complex ideas easier to understand by presenting them through simple situations. Therefore, animals are popular storytelling tools because they combine entertainment with meaningful messages.

represent human characteristics /ˌreprɪˈzent ˈhjuːmən ˌkærəktəˈrɪstɪks/ phrase đại diện cho đặc điểm của con người
symbolize courage or intelligence /ˈsɪmbəlaɪz ˈkʌrɪdʒ ɔː(r) ɪnˈtelɪdʒəns/ phrase tượng trưng cho sự dũng cảm, trí thông minh
storytelling tools /ˈstɔːritelɪŋ tuːlz/ n phr công cụ kể chuyện
make complex ideas easier to understand /meɪk ˈkɒmpleks aɪˈdɪəz ˈiːziə tu ˌʌndəˈstænd/ phrase giúp ý tưởng phức tạp dễ hiểu hơn

5. Should children learn about animals at school?

Yes, I think children should learn about animals at school because it can help them develop scientific knowledge and a sense of responsibility towards nature. Learning about animals allows students to understand biodiversity and the importance of protecting different species. Schools can provide opportunities for students to gain practical knowledge through observation and activities such as visiting zoos or studying local wildlife. Moreover, animal education can encourage children to become more caring and environmentally conscious individuals. In my opinion, learning about animals is not only about biology but also about developing respect for the natural world.

scientific knowledge /ˌsaɪənˈtɪfɪk ˈnɒlɪdʒ/ n phr kiến thức khoa học
a sense of responsibility towards nature /ə sens əv rɪˌspɒnsəˈbɪləti təˈwɔːdz ˈneɪtʃə(r)/ n phr ý thức trách nhiệm với thiên nhiên
biodiversity /ˌbaɪəʊdaɪˈvɜːsəti/ n đa dạng sinh học
gain practical knowledge /ɡeɪn ˈpræktɪkl ˈnɒlɪdʒ/ phrase có được kiến thức thực tế
environmentally conscious /ɪnˌvaɪrənˈmentəli ˈkɒnʃəs/ adj có ý thức về môi trường

6. Do people care more about animal welfare nowadays?

Yes, I think people are becoming more concerned about animal welfare compared to the past. One reason is that information about animal protection is now more widely available through social media and documentaries. As a result, more people are aware of issues such as animal cruelty and the importance of treating animals responsibly.
