We have a school project about wildlife and we can get information in two ways. Searching in the library and online or going on a trip to a wildlife park. I like to talk about their good points and bad points. First, doing search in the library and online is really easy. We can find lots of articles, photos and videos very quickly and we do not need to spend money or go far away. But some online information may be not speech-true. It is sometimes hard to know which source is correct, and we cannot see real animals in life. Then visiting in White Life Park is a great experience. We can watch animals with our own eyes, take photos, and learn many real life facts. It is make our project more interesting, but however, this choice has some disadvantages too. It needs more time and the trip can well be experienced. Also, the weather might be not good at that state, so we cannot go outside. If I have to choose one, I would prefer the wildlife park trip. Even though it costs time and money, first-hand experience is more useful for me. I believe I can get special ideas that I will never find just on the internet. That is why I like this opinion better.

We have a school project about wildlife and we can get information in two ways. Searching in the library and online or going on a trip to a wildlife park. I'd like to talk about their good points and bad points. First, doing research in the library and online is really easy. We can find lots of articles, photos, and videos very quickly, and we do not need to spend money or go far away. But some online information may not be true.

We can watch animals with our own eyes, take photos, and learn many real-life facts. It makes our project more interesting, but however, this choice has some disadvantages too. It needs more time and the trip can be expensive. Also, the weather might not be good at that time, so we cannot go outside. If I have to choose one, I would prefer the wildlife park trip.
