关于保护动物的英语作文题目(最新20篇)

在这世界上，有许多濒临绝种的动物，而它们面临的重重危机，多半是由人类所造成，例如：我们乱丢垃圾使河川受到污染、工厂以及汽机车所排放的废气使空气不再干净，为了开发和建设不断破坏山林。有时我在想，如果没有人类的存在，地球会不会变得更好呢?为了要弥补我们所污染的环境，并且要重视及提倡“保护生态”的观念。

由于生物不停的变少，陆陆续续出现了保护野生动物的公益团体，而这些集团不断倡导要爱护动物、保护动物，因此，野生动物的生存权渐渐被重视，不过光靠这些热心人士的帮忙仍是杯水车薪，我们更应该从日常生活中落实，假如全世界的人每天都能随手关灯，至少可以救回一只可爱的北极熊;假如全世界的人都能 减少塑胶的使用量，就有许多生物的肚子里面没有垃圾的存在;假如我们能减少废气的排放量，就可以使空气更为干净，不只保护动物，同时也是保护我们自己。

我们对于保护生态的观念应该推广到每一个角落，深植于人们的心中，无时无刻要懂得尊重其它生命，所有生命都是可贵的，我们无法即时扭转人们想要滥杀动物的想法，因为，有时关系到人们的生存与工作，但是，我们可以靠身体力行来改变别人想法，来落实保护生态的意义。

有时，我们应该将心比心，设身处地为那些因人类而丧生的动物，他们临死前的哀嚎，正是他们的求救讯号，他们也是生物，同时也是一个个宝贵的生命，我们并不能因为自认为高等，而残害其它的生命。

Economic development and environmental protection are a pressing issue primarily for developing countries where, in trying to catch up with developed countries, they have to consume natural resources on an unprecedented scale. This has seriously polluted our environment and, with the global environmental campaign gaining momentum, many people in China call for the precedence of environmental protection over economic development.

Any attempt to pose economic development and environmental protection as diametrically contradictory is simple-minded. Since no country is willing to stop its economic development, the best way is to strike a balance between the two and to heighten the environmental awareness of those solely concerned with economic development.

European countries both economically developed and environmentally friendly can serve as perfect examples for China. Their success story in both undertakings illustrates that environmental protection does not mean a complete standstill of economic activities or exploitation of natural resources, but rather an active development and application of effective technologies to minimize environmental consequences. In Germany, environmental protection has become part of economic development as it boasts the world s most successful environmental industry. With a developed economy, we are well equipped to develop sophisticated technologies that can effectively safeguard our environment.

[英语作文：经济发展与环境保护

在生活中，每个人都知道“保护动物，人人有责”!可是真正做到保护动物的人，却只有很少很少。我也伤害过动物。

前几天，学校门口有卖乌龟和乌龟蛋的小贩。出于好奇，我也买了一个乌龟蛋玩玩。椭圆形的小龟蛋光滑极了，摸上去特别有趣。一路上，我开心地把玩着这小小的龟蛋，脚步也加快了不少。回到家里，当我拿着龟蛋正准备装沙子时，突然手一滑，龟蛋像一块石头似的落到了地上。可龟蛋终究是龟蛋，龟蛋终究不是石头。只听“啪”的一声，龟蛋早已粉身碎骨。看着碎了一地的龟蛋，我并没有对它有任何同情之心，也没有对自己的行为感到惭愧，反倒为那一元钱觉得可惜。我不禁对龟蛋责备道：“好你个乌龟蛋，害我白白花了一元钱，买什么不好，偏偏要了你这么个小东西……”

今天，突然接到老师的通知，要我写一篇关于保护野生动物的征文。我突然回想起几天前发生的事情，心里充满了后悔。是呀，动物是我们的朋友，我们应该保护它们。龟蛋破了并不是龟蛋的错，而是我的错。如果不是我从小贩那儿把它买来，它又怎会遭到“粉身碎骨”?如果不是小贩把龟蛋从沙滩上带来卖，龟蛋又怎么会离开父母?如果不是……太多的如果，弥补不了我对小乌龟造成的伤害。

“保护动物，人人有责”，从今天开始，让我们一起来保护动物吧!让它们也能自由、快乐地成长!

The picture shows the pollution caused by chimneys of the factories in cities. Often, the sky is covered by large clouds of smoke from chimneys. The air is nearly suffocating, especially in the evening as it becomes cold and the smoke is spreading everywhere. The scene reminds us of the end of the world.

From the picture we can infer that the drawer of the picture intends to convey to the readers that unplanned factories has brought about great hazards to the city air condition. Due to planning mistakes, factories were usually placed in the center of cities, among residential and business districts. Besides, nearly every block has several chimneys for the heating system, which makes the whole city immersed in thick columns of smoke. As a result, respiratory diseases have been reported to be rising and old people dying of the worsening air pollution.

Pollution is really a hot issue in the world. If we don’t take useful measures, we may live in terrible surroundings, and some unexpected results may come out in the end. So, what we should do is to bring down the problems caused by chimneys. For one thing, factories with chimneys should be moved out of the center of the city and it should be made sure that the waste gases are at least not poisonous. For another, other means of heating should be developed to stop using coal. In a word, in the city there should be no coal, no chimney, and no smoke to pollute the air.

Looking ahead, and some are just a bump on the ground, large tracts of forest were cut down, into peoples lives in the wood products. It is only for their own interests, many animal it to become destitute and homeless. This is not a false illusion, this is the bloody facts.

Once upon a time, a large number of animals and plants in the world were destroyed, and many animals and plants are on the verge of extinction, which is why? This is because the man casually trees, destroy the ecological environment, this is the fundamental reason.

Land resource is one of the three major geological resources (mineral resources, water resources, land resources), is the most basic human production activities and labor objects. Human utilization of land reflects the development of human civilization, but also caused the direct destruction of land resources, which is mainly manifested as unreasonable cultivation caused by soil erosion, land desertification, land salinization of soil and soil pollution and so on, and the soil and water loss is particularly serious, today the world is facing a serious crisis. According to estimates, soil loss of the cultivated land is about 230 tons / year.

Some people think acid rain is a silent crisis, and in the history of the impact our most serious threat to the environment, is a look at the enemy. This is not alarmist. With the increase in industrialization and energy consumption, acid emissions are also increasing, they enter the air, after a series of role in the formation of acid rain.

Animals are our good friends, we should protect them, because a lot of animals is beneficial to human.

For example, I like little bees. It is very industrious, arrive every day, honey for the people.

I like the little green frog. It hid in the fields every day, as long as pests, will be the frog to eat into the belly.

I like the swallow. Its a beautiful singing voice, as long as the spring comes, they fly back from the south.

I like worms. It ran winding in the ground, turned out to be digging in to help the earth mother.

I like small gecko. Its tail special magical, broken can come back for yourself. Also can help mankind to catch mosquitoes.

Little friends, do you like the animals? So lovely small animals, we mustnt hurt it.

动物是我们的好朋友，我们应该保护它们，因为很多动物对人类有益。

比如，我喜欢小蜜蜂。它很勤劳，每天早出晚归，为人们采蜜。

我喜欢小青蛙。它每天都躲在田地里，只要害虫一来，就会被青蛙吃到肚子里。

我喜欢小燕子。它的歌声很优美，只要春天一到，它们就从南方飞回来。

我喜欢蚯蚓。它在地底下弯弯曲曲的跑着，原来是在帮助大地妈妈松土。

我喜欢小壁虎。它的尾巴特别神奇，断了能自己再长出来。还能帮助人类捉蚊子。

小朋友们，你们喜欢这些小动物吗?这么可爱的小动物，我们千万不能伤害它。

亲爱的人类，你们好!我是一只野兔，生活在一片茂密的大森林里。以前生活在那儿日子过得很幸福、美满;

有疼爱我的妈妈、强壮的爸爸和聪明的哥哥，随时随地都能吃到鲜嫩的蘑菇，喝到甘甜、清澈的溪水。

可是有一天妈妈带我外出散步的时候我们听到了“咚咚”的声音，我们顺着声音看了过去，原来是几个人在砍树。许多的参天大树顿时变成了一个个树桩，然后那几人把砍伐下来的树木装上车后便扬长而去。不久后的一天，我起床，想出去呼吸一下新鲜空气，可是一开门，就感到今天的风特别大，而且里面还带着尘土。我雪白的身子一下就变成灰色了。我把这件事告诉了妈妈，她说：“这是沙尘暴，你最近还是不要出去为好。”“怎么会产生沙尘暴呢?”我打破砂锅问到底。妈妈答道：“唉，都是因为人类过量地砍伐树木，才会引起沙尘暴。”

同样还有一次，我和同伴在一起玩耍，同伴对我说：“我们去小溪边喝水吧!”我说：“好哇。”当到了小溪边我们才发现，昔日清澈见底的小溪变成黑色的了，垃圾和死鱼的尸体都漂浮在水面上，传出阵阵恶臭味。一群蚊子和苍蝇在垃圾在上方飞来飞去，“嗡嗡”作响。这是怎么回事?回家一问才知道，原来，人类的一些垃圾随手扔进小溪，才造成了这样的后果。

不光环境被破坏了，我还失去了一位亲人。一天，我聪明的哥哥出去寻找食物，但是很久都没回来。隔壁的喜鹊大妈告诉我：“你哥哥被一个人抓到野味餐厅了。”

人类，难道你们一直这样破坏环境却不感到痛心吗?“保护环境，爱护动物。”你们不是一直挂在嘴边吗?但是你们去做了吗?

I have a parrot. Its name is Nancy. I call it Nancy， because it is my passed grandmother’s name. I love her and hope she can accompany with， so I name my parrot her name. Nancy is very beautiful. Its fur is special comfortable. It is clever， too. At first， it can’t say any words， but now it can say many words. Like， good morning， good afternoon， good night， good bye and so on. it learns fast. I love it very much.？

Every year on October 4th is the World Animal Day. It is proposed by the Italian monk St Francis in 12th century. He lives in the forests of Assisi Island for the long time, building a good relationship with the animals. So he asks people to express thanks to the animals on October 4th. He sets a good example for our human beings about how to deal with the relationship with animals. In order to memorize him and what he does, we make October, 4th to be World Animal Day. Nowadays, people from all over the world will hold various activities to celebrate on that day. The aim of this festival is to remind people to care for all animals and build a harmonious relationship with them.

每年的十月四日是世界动物日。它是由意大利修道士圣弗兰西斯在十二世纪提出的。他长期生活在阿西西岛上的森林中，与动物建立了良好的关系。所以他要求村民们在10月4日这天向动物表示感谢。他为如何正确处理与动物的关系树立了一个很好的榜样。后人为了纪念他和他所做的，我们把十月四号定为世界动物日。现在，在那一天来自世界各地的人会用各种活动来庆祝这一节日。这一节日的目的在于提醒人们关爱所有的动物，与他们建立和谐的关系。

动物是我们人类的好朋友，我们不能伤害它们，但有些人却为了自已的利益，不顾那些可怜的小动物的生命，去践踏它们，捕杀它们。

记得那是今年暑假的一天，我和姥姥在公路的一边坐着聊天，我看见一只小猫想穿过马路去吃对面的一块肉，谁知，小猫刚走到马路中间，一辆大卡车过来了，司机先生一边按喇叭，一边嘴里骂道：“死猫走开。”小猫还没理解了司机的意思，司机先生已不耐烦了，他一踩油门，一个小生命就这样死在了满载货物的大卡车的车轮下。我看着这一幕又气愤又伤心，为了纪念这只可怜的小猫，所以我想把这一天——7月2日设立为保护动物节。

到了每年的这一天，人们都要为保护动物做贡献，要让小动物轻松愉快地度过这一天，不能让它们受到伤害，小动物不管到了谁家，人们都要热情招待它们，最后，我们还要用各种不同的方式去宣传小动物对人类的帮助。让世界上的每一个人都要保护小动物。

我盼望这个节日早日诞生。

保护环境的英语作文一：

Topic:

Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address。 In other word， we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view。 To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years， many nations have bee more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces， such as air and water pollution。 The question is， are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem? It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of being an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve。

Because of the differences in environmental policies， resources and technology， international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology。 By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems， the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed。 Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole。

One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmental issues is the difference in individual nations view and policies toward environmental protection。 In order for international cooperation to occur and succeed， the nations of the world must submit themselved to international standards and supervision by an international mission elected by the participating nations of the world。 All members must agree to abide by the standards established。

The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the well being of the rest of the world。 The impact is long term and international in scope。 Without international cooperation and agreement to address such environmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole， depletion of the ozone layer， water pollution， air polution， etc。， the environmental conditions of the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation， not just those that ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individual environmental problems。

As part of the same planet， it is the responsibility of each individual and nation to protect the global environment。 Only international cooperation will provide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop the deteriorating global environment。

Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup

Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions.

在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右，也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候，鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝，一直活到了今天。

The link between these ancient predators and contemporary wedding receptions is that, among Chinese people, it is a sign of generosity and prestige to serve guests shark-fin soup. Since there are more than 1.3bn Chinese people, and since they are getting more affluent by the day, that is of no little consequence to the shark population. Some 70m sharks are killed each year for their fins. Much of the time, the fins are sliced off with a blade at sea and the bloody shark torso thrown back in the water to die.

这种古老的食肉动物和当代婚宴之间的联系在于，在中国人眼中，请客人吃鱼翅羹是慷慨与体面的标志。由于中国有13亿多人口，并且中国人一天比一天富裕，吃鱼翅对鲨鱼数量可谓影响重大。为了获取鱼翅，人类每年要捕杀约7000万条鲨鱼。大多数时候，人们在海上用刀把鱼鳍割下来，然后便将血淋淋的鲨鱼躯干扔入海里，任由它们死去。

The California state legislature is debating a bill co-sponsored by Paul Fong, a Chinese-American Democrat, to ban the sale, consumption and trade of shark fin. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state already impose similar bans. California accounts for 85 per cent of shark fin eaten in the US. The bill sailed through the lower house assembly, but is being held up in the state senate because of concerns it discriminates against Chinese Americans.

加利福尼亚州立法机构正在讨论由民主党人、美籍华人方文忠(Paul Fong)联合提议的一项旨在禁止贩卖、消费和交易鱼翅的议案。夏威夷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州已经实施了类似的禁令。加州的鱼翅食用量占到美国鱼翅总食用量的85%。州众议院会议已通过了此项议案，但因担心法案有歧视美籍华人的嫌疑，州参议院还未对其投票表决。

What people eat is, indeed, a sensitive topic and one that generates much hypocrisy. Different cultures have formed their own taboos about what is proper, and not proper, to eat. Muslims and Jews don’t eat pigs, Hindus don’t eat cows and most Americans don’t eat snake or whale. Jains, and vegetarians of all cultures, don’t eat any animals at all.

人们吃什么确实是一个敏感的话题，也会催生许多虚伪的作风。对于可以吃什么、不可以吃什么，不同的文化有着各自的禁忌。穆斯林和犹太教徒不吃猪肉，印度教徒不吃牛肉，而大多数美国人不吃蛇肉或鲸肉。耆那教徒(Jains)和各种文化中的素食主义者都不吃任何动物。

Westerners are particularly prone to turning up their nose at what other people eat. Their position is mostly illogical and sometimes offensive. They tend to mentally divide animals into those you eat (like pigs, sheep and chickens); those you cuddle or stroke (cats, dogs and horses); and those too ugly, unusual or intelligent to eat (say beetles, zebras and dolphins). Many profess to loathe barbarity – think clubbing seals – yet are happy to eat veal or to ignore what goes on in their friendly neighbourhood abattoir.

西方人尤其看不惯其它文化社会的人们所吃的东西。他们的出发点大多不合逻辑，有时可能还会触犯众怒。他们往往在心里把动物分为好几类：吃的(如猪、羊和鸡)、搂抱或抚摸的(猫、狗和马)以及太丑、太怪或太聪明而不能吃的(比如甲虫、斑马和海豚)。许多人都公开对残暴行为表示憎恶——例如用棍子猎杀海豹——但却爱吃小牛肉，或佯装对自己居住的友好社区的屠宰场里发生的一切毫不知晓。

Michael Moore, the American documentary film-maker, brilliantly – if possibly inadvertently – exposed this self-delusion in Roger & Me. In a scene that was meant to highlight the poverty of Flint, Michigan, a woman selling rabbits is shown asking customers if they want “pets or meat”. If the answer is “pet”, the cuddly bunny is handed over to a delighted child. If “meat”, the hapless creature is clubbed to death with a lead pipe and skinned on the spot.

美国纪录片电影制片人迈克尔?摩尔(Michael Moore)在《罗杰和我》(Roger & me)中绘声绘色地(也可能是不经意地)披露了这种自欺欺人的行径。在展现密歇根州弗林特(Flint)贫困状况的一个场景中，有个女人在卖兔子，她问顾客要买“宠物还是兔肉”。如果答案是“宠物”，她就把小兔子交给一个满心欢喜的孩子。如果答案是“兔肉”，她便当场用一根铅管把这个可怜的动物打死并把皮剥下来。

The richer societies get, the more finicky they tend to become. Many (including myself) waste half the animal they have had killed on their behalf, refusing to consume its organs, intestines, brain and so on. These parts are often eaten, and sometimes prized, in non-western societies, particularly in Asia. In their willingness to consume almost all the animal, both China and Japan score far better than most western countries.

社会越是富有，往往就会变得越挑剔。许多人(包括我在内)会浪费掉因为他们而被杀死的动物的一半，我们拒绝食用它们的器官、肠子和脑子等等部位。但在西方之外的社会、尤其是亚洲，人们通常是吃这些的，而且有时还会将其视若珍品。就吃下动物所有部位的意愿而言，中国和日本要远远排在大多数西方国家的前面。

Surely, then, one can’t object to eating shark fin? Yet one can and one should. The reasons are to do with conservation and our broader ecosystem. Some species of shark have been depleted by 70 per cent and a few, such as smooth hammerhead, bull sharks and tiger sharks, by 90 per cent or more. Sharks are the ocean’s top predators. Their absence causes havoc. Off the east coast of America, sharks used to eat bottom-feeding rays. With shark numbers massively depleted, the rays have had a field day devouring scallops, clams and oysters, rapidly reducing stocks.

这么说来，想必我们不能反对吃鱼翅了?不，我们可以反对，而且也应当反对。因为这关系到环境保护以及更广泛生态系统的保护。一些种类的鲨鱼数量已减少了70%，少数几个种类的数量减少了90%，例如平双髻鲨、牛鲨和虎鲨。鲨鱼是位于海洋食物链最顶端的捕食者。若没有它们，生态系统会发生混乱。在美国东海岸附近，鲨鱼通常以在水底觅食的魟鱼为食。由于鲨鱼数量急剧减少，魟鱼就会趁机吃掉很多扇贝、蛤蜊和牡蛎，使这些物种的数量迅速减少。

Once shark fins are dried and in jars, it is all but impossible to tell what kind of shark they came from or whether they were finned. At one store in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, a city where half the world’s shark fin is traded, a salesman admits he has no idea whether the fins come from endangered species. His shop does not sell shark meat, and he says it could be true that the carcase is simply tossed into the sea. As well as the cruelty, there is also the incredible waste. The average shark stretches to about 10 bowls of soup.

鲨鱼的鳍一旦被晒干并放入罐里，便几乎无可判断它们来自哪种鲨鱼，或者是否是被割下来的。在鱼翅交易量占全球一半的香港，上环区一家商店的一位销售人员坦承，他不清楚店里的鱼翅是否来自濒危鲨鱼。他的店里不卖鲨鱼肉，并且他表示，鲨鱼的尸体被直接抛回海里可能是真事。岂止是残忍，这也是一种巨大的浪费。平均每条鲨鱼只能加工出大约10碗鱼翅汤。

Certainly, shark fin is traditional. As one writer points out, to ask people to stop eating it is the equivalent of suggesting Americans give up turkey for Thanksgiving. There is doubtless a case for banning other types of food, such as some types of caviar and some species of whale. But cultures are not immutable. Traditions change, especially when they are unsustainable.

不错，鱼翅是一种传统食物。正如一位作家所指出的那样，要求人们不吃鱼翅就好比让美国人过感恩节时不要吃火鸡。我们无疑有理由禁止食用其它食物，比如某类鱼子酱和某些种类的鲸。但文化也不是一成不变的。传统会发生变化，尤其是当它们难以为继的时候。

Fortunately, many of the most prominent campaigners against shark fin are Chinese, with Yao Ming, the recently retired basketball sensation, among the most passionate. In Hong Kong, where shark fin used to be de rigueur at Cantonese banquets, many young people refuse to eat it. Besides, sharks have less cachet now they are siphoned from the oceans on an industrial scale.

值得庆幸的是，在反对吃鱼翅的最著名活动人士之中，许多都是中国人，比如近期退役的篮球明星姚明，就是行动最积极的人士之一。在香港，鱼翅曾是粤宴上的必备菜肴，但如今许多青年人拒绝食用鱼翅。此外，在捕杀鲨鱼实现工业化规模的今天，鱼翅的身价已大不如前。

In Canada, more than a few ethnic Chinese couples have made a show of not serving shark fin at their wedding. Judy Lao recently told the Vancouver Province why she didn’t have it at her reception. “We don’t really care, our friends don’t care, and shark fin has no nutritional value anyway,” she said. “So why should we serve it?” Why indeed.

在加拿大，许多对华裔夫妇已做出表率，在婚宴上不供应鱼翅。Judy Lao最近向《温哥华省报》(Vancouver Province)解释了，为什么她的婚宴没有上鱼翅。“我们并不介意这些，我们的朋友也不介意，再说鱼翅根本也没有什么营养价值，”她表示。“所以，我们为什么要上鱼翅呢?”确实，这有什么必要呢?

[保护鲨鱼的英语作文

清晨，我在家又没人陪我玩，妈妈去上班了。我就去朋友家玩，可朋友又不在家，我就在他家门外看见了一棵大树，我就往上看，上面有一只啄木鸟在给大树治病。刚好，地上有一个弹弓，我就拿起弹弓，瞄准啄木鸟，正要发射的时候，我的朋友小红回来了，他看见了，就连忙跑过来，说：“小明，快放下，”小明奇怪地问：“为什么啊，”小红说：“因为啄木鸟正在帮我家的大树治病呢，还有，老师也说过我们要保护动物的呀，”小明说：“小红我知错了，我一定会改的，”小明回家了，我就我在小红家做的事告诉了妈妈，妈妈就说：“小明你真是知错能改的乖孩子。

Every time I go to the zoo, I was always against the stream of people, into the gate, and then turn left, go to see my favorite big bird - a swan

Sunday morning, I have to go to the zoo with mom and dad. Chardonnay at the beginning of the red fire that day, the lake calm a swan in the water, they beat their broad wings, and over the red sun.

Swan with a white feather, looks very beautiful. They quite on the surface of the lake and swam slowly, the calm water of the lake like a bright mirror, reflected the difficult they figure, like a pair of players in two-way dance, dance, dance music that I can not help but want to talk about a swan, the music for them. Swim a son, may be tired, then into the shore to rest, the tree house is the home of the swan. In this beautiful green lawn, they quietly watching from a distance, as if a snow.

I love swan, swan is love beautiful symbol. Many writers have written the story of the swan, like Anderson grandpa write a fairy tale... See a swan, I as if into a fairy tale world.

我每次去动物园，我总是逆着人流，一进大门，就往左拐，去看望我最喜爱的大鸟-天鹅

星期天的早晨，我又和爸爸、妈妈一起去动物园。那天霞火初红，湖水平静一对天鹅在水面划过，他们拍打着宽大的翅膀，托出了红艳艳的朝阳。

天鹅长着一身雪白的羽毛，显得格外美丽。它们在湖面上娴静得、慢慢地游动着，那平静的湖面像一面明亮的大镜子，倒映出他们那高难度的身影，就像一对舞蹈队员在跳双人舞，使我不禁想谈一首天鹅舞曲，为他们伴奏。游了一儿，也许是累了，便进岸边休息了，树下的房子就是天鹅的家。在这美丽的绿色草坪上，他们静静的望着，远远望去，仿佛是一座雪雕。

我爱天鹅，天鹅是爱美的象征。许多文学家都写过天鹅的故事，好比安徒生爷爷写的童话......看到天鹅，我就仿佛进入了童话世界。

When I was very small, I could see many birds flying in the sky when I looked at the sky, but as I grow up and move to the city, I find less birds in the sky. It is because the environment has been polluted and many birds are dying. We can do small things to protect the environment, so that the animals can live with us.

在我很小的时候，每当我仰望天空的时候，我都可以看到许多鸟在天上飞，但是当我长大后，搬到了城市，我几乎没见过有鸟儿在天空中飞。因为环境被污染了，许多鸟面临死亡。我们要做些小事来保护环境，让动物能和我们共存。

在地球上，除了人类，还有什么呢?没错，还有动物。可几年下来，动物的数量逐渐下降。人类有没有把动物当朋友看呢?

动物和人类应该是好朋友，可为什么动物会和人类为敌呢?是因为人类没有把动物发在眼里。比如奶牛。人类用奶牛生产奶牛，可等奶牛没有奶的时候，人类就会把奶牛残忍地杀死。奶牛没奶时，不会将它放生吗?奶牛也是一条活生生的生命啊!近几年的“鼠疫、艾滋病、疯牛病、禽流感”，这些都是动物们奋起反击的预兆呀!难道人类还要打第三次世界大战吗?我们的祖先就是高级动物呀!如果人类再不制止这种滥杀动物的行为，是对我们的地区母亲沉重的打击呀!

我们现在不要再破坏动物的家园，这样动物们就可以安心繁殖后代。朋友们，还动物们一片蔚蓝的天空，让小鸟自由地飞翔;给动物一片绿草地，让牛羊欢快地奔跑;还动物一片汪洋，让动物无忧无虑地畅游海洋之中。也许，这样可以安抚动物们受伤的心灵。动物原本不坏，只是人类破坏它们的家园，这些只是它们对人类的“报复”而已。

朋友们，让我们一起保护动物吧!

亲爱的人类：

你们好!

不知你们是否看到过这样一副画面：广阔的蓝天，飘着朵朵白云;郁郁葱葱的山林中，一只只活泼可爱的小动物欢快地跳跃着、奔跑着。这是一副多么美好的画面。然而，现在这样的画面少得可怜，更别说能亲身与小动物们接触了。这是为什么?是因为人类对大自然的破坏——大肆砍伐树木，盲目地猎杀动物。

无知的人类呀，同样是生命，只不过一个是主宰者，一个是动物，却有如此大的区别。难道已丰衣足食的我们，非要忍心让他们无家可归?同样是生命，难道就不能与他们和谐共处?我难以想象，再这么下去，只剩下了孤独的人类地球会变成怎样?世界会变成怎样?在一片荒凉的大地上没有一丝植物的踪迹，昔日的小精灵也不知去向，大地一副死气沉沉的样子。风沙来了，没有办法;寂寞难熬，也没有人让你吐诉心声的。动物也是有感情，也是有心声的，假如换作是你，看到家园毁灭，伙伴去世，还会无动于衷吗?除非你是用铁做的心。但是，动物们只有默默无声地忍受着，忍受着命运如此不公的安排，没有一丝怨言，任凭生命中的每一样宝贵的东西消失，却毫无办法。人类啊人类，难道你们还没有觉悟吧?

“退一步海阔天空”，让我们从现在开始，从身边开始，从一草一木开始，为动物们，也为自己创造一个美好的家园!相信在不久的将来，小动物，小精灵，将成为我们生活中的不可或缺的乐趣，我们互相倾诉心声的好朋友。

努力吧，每一位有血有肉的中国人!

With the development of our society， energy in the world bees more and more

limited， so it is quite important for us to save energy and to protect our

environment。 As a student， there are a lot of methods we can do to save energy

at home。 For example， first， we can turn off the light as well as other

appliances when we are not using them。 Second， recycle the waste water， paper

and other waste so that we can reuse them。 Whats more， it is suggested to use

public transportation more instead of private cars.

Above all， everyone can make a great contribution to our environment。 I

hope I can learn more to develop new and clear energy， like energy from the wind

and solar.

因为，有很多昆虫都对人类有益。比如说：蜜蜂，它很勤劳，每天早上很早就出去采蜜，一次又一次。到了天黑，吃几口蜜糖后，就马不停蹄地对采来的蜜进行加工。蜜蜂的外形并不起眼，生命也很短暂，只有3个月左右；可它一生都不休息，勤勤恳恳地工作，它们对人类毫无所求，却为人们酿造了甘甜可口、营养丰富、可医治病痛的蜂蜜。

还有青蛙，青蛙披着碧绿的衣裳，两只大眼睛，像两颗晶莹透明的玻璃球，它藏在田里，专吃害虫，保护庄稼。它捉害虫的时候两条后腿一蹬，一纵身，敏捷地将后腿一蜷，跳起老高，长长的舌头一伸，就像一个吸尘器一样转眼就把害虫吃到肚子里去了

可是，我们人类却把它们当成美味佳肴摆在餐桌上。

还有许多可爱的动物，我最喜欢的是大熊猫。大熊猫是我国珍贵的动物，妈妈告诉我大熊猫还是我们国家的国宝呢！大熊猫长的很可爱，胖乎乎、圆滚滚的，走起路来一摇一晃的，特别逗人。它的头部和身体都是白色的，只有眼圈、耳朵和肩部是黑褐色的。特别是那一对黑黑的眼圈，长在白白的脸上，像是戴着一副墨镜，加上那笨拙的动作和走起路来东张西望的神情，显得像个小绅士。

你瞧！它们多么可爱，它们是我们人类的好朋友，我们怎么忍心伤害它们呢！
