The recommended translation of 'you are an animal lover and a camping enthusiast' is 'Vous êtes un amoureux des bêtes et un passionné de camping'. Is it possible to explain why 'bêtes' is preceded by a definite article and 'camping' isn't?

Use of the definite article before a fraction

Could someone explain the use of the definite article "les" before "deux tiers" in the following example from this lesson:

Les invités ont mangé les deux tiers du gâteau. The guests have eaten 2/3 of the cake.

Thank you.

Missing Commas

In the third sentence of both the English & French text, after the second phrase (I stay at home & je reste chez moi) there is no comma. The way it is written it would sound like a run-on sentence.
