<1>Zoo is a place where animals have restricted movement and <2>kept in some cage or place. There are hundreds of animals kept in the 'shelter' to be seen by people like tourists. <3>People can see the animals from Africa or South America in Asian countries. But, <4>doesn't it a fake scene?
Animals in <5>zoo can't show the real movement <6>as they're in their natural habitat. For example, Tigers in the 'shelter' don't have to hunt for their food. They just sit on the sand and waits for food that people throws <7>to. It's not the <8>image when we think about the tiger. <9>Tiger is a wild, fast animal looking for some animals to hunt. So, even though people can see the 'shape' of some animals, they can't see the real animal. There's no need to see the shape of animal, we can see the images on the Internet instead of going <10>zoo to see 'fake' animals.
Also, there are many animals having difficulty <11>to adjust in the new artificial habitat. Many animals from <12>Africa and South Africa(which <13>takes most part of animals in <14>zoo) have hard time living in places like Korea, Because the climate is different from the place where they used to live. Also the 'shelter' for them is made with concrete, which is artificially made. Because the animal used to live in natural <15>places like grass field or den, shelter environment is awkward for them.
Finally, animals get much stress from people. <16>For example the basic instinct of <17>Cheetah is to run around a safari in broad field. But by blocking them in a small place, they can't fulfill their basic instinct. The result is obvious. They get stress. It's like human who is limited with <18>the pleasure. <19>And animals like dolphins have to perform a show for people. It's clear that they have to practice for the show. Now, <20>in the practice, do you think they can memorize the action easily? They're often hit by the trainers. Of course this <21>puts stress to dolphins. And the fact is that there are many marine animals now practicing a show for greedy humans.
To conclude, I think <22>zoo is a hell for animal. They are dying out because ofdifferent weather <23>from their habitat, they get hit by trainers a lot and for the most, the animals don't show their real appearance. They are just <24>an ‘animal shaped dolls'.

1 | zoo → A zoo영어로 동물원을 표기할 때는 거의 대부분의 경우 관사와 함께 씁니다. |
2 | kept → are kept‘are’를 삽입해야 합니다. 그렇지 않으면 주어인 ‘the animals’ 와 ‘have kept in some cage’가 연결되어 의미가 어색해 집니다. |
3 | ‘in Asian countries’의 위치를 앞으로 바꿉니다. 그대로 둘 경우 남미가 아시아 국가에 포함되는 것으로 의미가 오해될 수 있기 때문입니다. |
4 | doesn't → isn't 수정장면(scene)이 가짜를 연출(doing) 하는 것이 아니라, 장면 자체가 가짜일 수 있는 것이죠. |

■ 총평 - 영문 독서량 늘려 널리 쓰이는 문장유형 익히는게 좋아
The main problem that I see recurring is your lack or misuse of articles. Most of the corrections I made concerned ‘a’, ‘an’, ‘the.’
Also, You must read more English because although your sentences are structurally correct, many are also written in a style that makes the meaning of the sentence less clear. The more you read, the more you’ll observe generally accepted ways of writing the different sentence types.
Also, I’m concerned that you have not directly answered the question. Do zoos have a useful purpose? You’ve said that they are like Hell for the animals, but does that mean there is no purpose for the zoos?
김성연 학생은 관사의 용법에 있어서 잦은 실수를 보였습니다. 제가 고친 대부분의 실수들은 ‘a’나 ‘an’, ‘the’와 같은 관사의 쓰임과 관련이 있었거든요.
또 ‘동물원은 유익한 곳인가’라는 질문에도 직접적으로 답하지 않았습니다. 대신 동물원은 동물들에게 지옥과 같은 곳이라고만 말했지요. 이 말은 동물원이 쓸모없는 곳이라는 뜻인가요?
