Children, you grabbed the small tadpoles right, you must know that tadpole grew up to become small frog, the frog can eat insects, so the frog is our humans good friends.

A waiter said: "you see, this is we store the launch of new specials, stir flogs ball". "Chicken is what ah?" I curiously ask, "chicken is the frog." The waiter said, with a smile. I was very angry, because they hurt our good friends-frog! Another thing, he makes a big inspiration. One day, when I finish school, saw a man at the school gate at little chicks must sell, and I will have mercy on them. Because the little chicks must first came to this world, away from the mother, away from the mother love and mother warm embrace, and this is what they faced starved to death, the risk of freezing to death. At that time I thought: we humans are so happy! When you see here, did you see to protect our human friends-animals!

小朋友，你们抓过小蝌蚪吧，你们一定知道蝌蚪长大要变成小青蛙，青蛙可以吃害虫，所以青蛙是我们人类的好朋友。我们应该保护它，而不是伤害它。 可是有些饭店还卖青蛙肉呢。有一次，爸爸和他的朋友带着我去吃饭。一位服务员过来说：“您看，这是我们店新推出的特色菜，爆炒田鸡球”。“田鸡是什么 呀?”我好奇地问，“田鸡是青蛙。”服务员笑着说道。我当时很气愤，因为他们伤害了我们的好朋友——青蛙!还有一件事，他对我有很大的启发。一天，我放学 的时候，看见一个人在学校门口卖小鸡仔，我好可怜它们。因为小鸡仔刚来到这个世界上，就远离了妈妈，远离了母爱和妈妈温暖的怀抱，这也使它们面临着饿死、 冻死的危险。当时我想到了：我们人类是多么幸福啊!当你看到这里时，你是不是明白了要保护我们人类的朋友——动物呀!

Do you love animals? Animals and human beings are the owner of this beautiful planet that we all have the right to freedom of survival on this planet, have the right to enjoy nature gives us everything, this is our common homeland.

However, in the eyes of some people, but these animals is some lose your life, no life, no feelings. They are just delicious or money can buy the things on the table, the people in order to kill all kinds of animals and birds, fur clothing and food in order to the so-called "mouth" a lot of killing selling duck, full mountain bird nets, traps set, overrun by shocking animal remains, such as there are numerous unsubstantiated reports that have appeared. Dropped sharply in animal species, some animals have become extinct or endangered, too cruel. Dont know what those people long is the heart of stone, if left unchecked, we can no longer hear birds schools of thought contend, and cant see the fish live the bottom of the sea, many animals will become "according to historical records". The world will no longer be rich and colorful, the world will only greedy human lonely and sad. This is the tragedy of the entire human race.

Have a word said good, protect animals is to love ourselves, any kind of animal in nature are one part of the food chain, a ring is indispensable, the lack of any one ring will upset the balance of nature, to suffer or ourselves, many animals are friends of human beings, human beings are not often divides into the animal beneficial insects and pests? If beneficial insects is destroyed, it is how a situation? If extinction beneficial insects pests also ceased to exist, the survival of the animal extinction is closely related to our life.

To protect animals, cherish life, is that we call, from the bottom of his heart. We should start from around things, care for small animals, care for the weak life, refuse to eat wild animals, refused to wear clothes made of animal skins, animal bones, accessories and supplies. Resolutely resist the behavior of animal cruelty, and animals together for us to build a harmonious coexistence of their homes.

你热爱动物吗?动物和人类一样都是我们这个美丽星球的拥有者，都有权利在这个星球上自由的生存，都有权利享有大自然赋予我们的一切，这是我们共同的家园。

然而在有些人眼中，这些动物不过是一些任人宰割、没有生命、没有感情的东西。它们不过是餐桌上的美味或能换取金钱的物品，人们为了皮衣和食品杀死各种飞禽走兽，为了所谓“口福”大量捕杀贩卖山珍野味，满山的捕鸟网，遍野的捕兽套，令人触目惊心的动物残骸，诸如此类的报道屡见不鲜，不绝于声。致使动物种类大幅减少，有些动物已经灭绝或濒于灭绝，太残忍了。不知道那些人长的是怎样的铁石心肠，如果任其发展下去，我们再也听不到百鸟争鸣，再看不到鱼翔海底，许多动物将成为“据史料记载”。这个世界将不再丰富多彩，这个世界将只剩下贪婪人类的孤独和凄凉。这是整个人类的悲哀。

有一句话说的好，保护动物就等于爱护我们自己，大自然中的任何一种动物都是食物链的一环，一环不可缺少，缺少任何一环都会打乱自然界的平衡，遭殃的还是我们自己，许多动物都是人类的朋友，人类自己不是经常把动物分为益虫和害虫吗?如果益虫都灭绝了，那会是怎样一种情况呢?如果害虫灭绝益虫也不复存在，动物的生存灭绝与我们的生活密切相关。

保护动物，珍惜生命，是我们从心底发出的呼唤。我们要从身边的小事做起，爱护小动物，爱护弱小生命，拒绝食用野生动物，拒绝穿戴使用兽皮、兽骨做的衣服，饰品和用品。坚决抵制残害动物的行为，为我们和动物共同营造一个和谐共存的家园。

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。

A tiger is a kind of catamount animal. It looks like a cat, but much bigger than a cat. A tiger is very ferocious and it eats mainly meat. It has yellow and black streaks all over its body and it looks very beautiful. Its tail is long and strong and it can hit its quarry dying.

老虎生活在茂密的森林和小动物在森林是老虎的食物。

During the past years, many forests have been cut down and the living conditions of the tigers are becoming worse and worse. There are fewer tigers left in the world now. Tigers are the animals of the world, and they should have their own living spaces. We must do our best to protect the tigers and their living environment.

在过去的几年中，许多森林被砍伐，老虎的生存环境越来越糟。有少虎留在现在的世界。老虎是世界性妁动物，它们应该有自己的生存空间。我们必须尽我们所能来保护老虎和他们的居住环境。

The animal is the friend of our human beings. We live in the same earth. Animals and human beings can’t be separated from each other. But some animals are getting less and less. So it’s necessary for us to protect animals, especially wild animals. Some people kill wild animal because of money. It’s illegal. Beside, because of the development of society, human needs more space to live in, so we explore the forest. Animals have less space to live in. The number of wild animals decreases year by year. It’s high time to take actions to protect wild animals.

动物是人类的朋友，我们共同生活在地球上。动物和人类不可以彼此分离。但有些动物的数量越来越少，所以我们有必要去保护动物，特别是野生动物。一小部分人为了赚钱而去猎杀野生动物，这是违法行为。此外，由于社会的发展，人类需要的生活空间，所以要开发森林。然而动物的生存空间却变少了。野生动物的数量逐年减少，现在该是采取措施保护野生动物的时候了。

Earths biological diversity is being fast decline of many species facing extinction.Threat to the survival of wild animals and plants is a major factor in habitat loss， business development， and wild animals and plants and their products in international trade.Resources are limited， it is necessary for the endangered species， to propose specific measures of protection level.We can formulate the corresponding endangered species laws， application to establish nature reserves， endangered species breeding centers， means of conservation biology， endangered species， the implementation of in situ conservation and ex situ conservation.At the same time， we must restrict international trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora， to make laws to protect endangered species。

In the past, there have been many endangered animals. Now they are extinct. Does it matterHas our environment been affected by their absenceHas the quality of our own life been changedThe answer to these questions is “Yes.”

It does matter if we destroy an endangered species habitat to develop more farmland, housing or industrial parks.It will effect all the other creature.

For example, if certain trees are cut down, birds and bats will have no place to roost.They cannot roost, they cannot breed. If there are no bats or brids, there will be no animal to eat certain insects that plague our crops.

Jungle around the world are being cut down to make room for humans. We will never be able to see or study this fragile ecosystem.

Human beings should be responsible for their own acts of nature. The promulgation of laws to maintain ecological balance, to make more space and natural. Conservation biology, Protect environment, protection of natural.

But still a lot of people scream and try to throw away the food to the animals, which do harm to the animals. It is everybody’s duty to protect animals.

随着新年的来临，许多家庭计划一起去动物园玩。而最近，动物园里发生了一场悲剧，有人被老虎咬伤。大家都害怕起来，结果真相是那个人试图逃票，还越过禁止线。动物都有自己的本能，一旦受到威胁，他们就会做可怕的事情。如果游客遵从提示、约束自我，那么悲剧就不会发生。但是仍然很多人会大喊大叫，试图扔食物给动物吃，这对动物是有害的。保护动物是每个人的责任。

The kitten in my mind has always been the most lovely animals, just my house downstairs there is a kitten, I like it very much.

Kitten has a football like face, with above two small pointed ears, a small nose is small. The kittens eyes narrowed into a crack during the day, but at night with big, round, still shining with green light.

小猫在我心目中一直是最可爱的小动物，正好我家楼下就有一只这样的小猫，我非常喜欢它。

小猫有一张橄榄球似的脸，上面竖着两只尖尖的小耳朵，一个小巧玲珑的鼻子不大不小。小猫的眼睛白天眯成一条缝，可到了晚上就睁的又大又圆，还闪着幽绿色的光芒。

小猫喜欢上蹿下跳。它那条长长的尾巴为它保持了平横。小猫脚底下的肉垫让它走起路来悄无声息，为抓老鼠带来了不少方便。

小猫喜欢收集一些它觉得有趣的东西。所以在它的窝里还经常能找到毛线球、羽毛之类的小东西。

小猫睡觉的时候闭着眼睛，蜷着腿，缩着尾巴，显得十分安静。

小猫的嘴非常的馋。一次，我拿着香肠经过，它立刻目不转睛地盯着我，好像在说：“给我一点香肠吧!”看着它这副可怜巴巴的样子，我想了半天，最后终于还是给了它一半。它马上躲到一边，津津有味的吃起来。

啊，可爱的小猫，我喜欢你!

So,sometimes she is very boring! How do you think?

Many animals are in danger of dying out.As is shown in the chart， we can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue.From 1980 to 2010， at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.Worse still， more and more wild animals are in great danger.It is not a piece of sensational news; it is a fact， a harsh reality.Unfortunately， we may not see these animals in the near future。

From the second picture， we can find some reasons.Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have bee victims of fashion industry.Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes sell at a high price.So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity.This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings。

As far as I am concerned， something must be done to stop this illegal action.We believe "no buying， no killing".First， we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger.Second， we must take some measures to protect animals effectively.Animals are our friends and part of our environment.Third， we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and our environment.In this way， we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development。

animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. hundreds more are on the danger list today. about 170 kinds in the united states alone are considered in danger.

why should people care? because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more.animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. they are more than just a source of food. every animal has its place in the balance of nature. destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. for example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers` stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. why? because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. and they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. quite a few countries have passed laws. these laws forbid the killing of any animal or planton the danger list. slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

导语：人类正试图猎取野生动物以获取更大的利润，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

As is often read in the newspaper reports, wild life especially the rare species is threatened with extinction. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit., which, of course, results in a sharp decrease in the number of animals. So it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. First of all, its quite necessary for every citizen to realize the importance of animal protection. Only by knowing its importance can people develop a sense of responsibility. People will surely take it for granted to have the duty to prevent any killing of wild animals. So a national publicity campaign should be launched, thus giving animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some laws to forbid any hunting of rare animals. We dont expect anything harmful to wild life to happen again.

If everyone is involved in the protection of wild life, were sure man will be a good friend of animals rather than their enemy.

【参考译文】

正如报纸上经常看到的那样，野生生物特别是稀有物种面临灭绝的危险。人类正试图猎取野生动物以获取更大的利润，当然，这会导致动物数量急剧减少。所以现在是我们采取行动保护他们的时候了。首先，每个公民意识到保护动物的重要性是很有必要的。只有认识到它的重要性，人们才能产生责任感。人们一定会想当然地认为有责任阻止野生动物的捕杀。开展全国性宣传活动，为动物创造良好的生存环境。此外，政府应该通过一些法律，禁止猎杀珍稀动物。我们不希望发生任何对野生动物有害的事情再次发生。

如果每个人都参与野生动物的保护，我们相信人类将是动物的好朋友，而不是敌人。

We should protect animals so that we can live in a better environment .To protect them ,our government should forbid people to kill them , and for most of us ,we can plant more trees and call for protecting anmimals habitats.Only if we protect animals well can we have a bright future!

The dog is one of the most popular pets in the world. It ordinarily remains loyal to a considerate master, and because of this the dog has been called mans best friend. Class distinctions between people have no part in a dogs life. It can be a faithful companion to either rich or poor.

Dogs have been domesticated for most of human history and have thus endeared themselves to many over the years. Stories have been told about brave dogs that served admirably in war or that risked their lives to save persons in danger. When Pompeii--the Roman community destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in AD 79--was finally excavated, searchers found evidence of a dog lying across a child, apparently trying to protect the youngster. Perhaps few of the millions of dogs in the world may be so heroic, but they are still a source of genuine delight to their owners.

A dog fits easily into family life. It thrives on praise and affection. When a master tells a dog that it is good, the animal happily wags its tail. But when a master scolds a dog, it skulks away with a sheepish look and with its tail tucked between its legs.

People in the city as well as those in other areas can enjoy a dog. Medium-size or small dogs are best suited for the confines of the city. Large dogs need considerable exercise over a large area.

Dogs are not always well thought of, however. In recent years dogs in the city have been in the center of controversy. Some people have criticized dog owners for allowing their pets to soil sidewalks and lawns, although in some cities laws oblige owners to walk their dogs along street curbs. In turn, dog owners have argued that the animals serve as protection against vandals and burglars and thus protect their detractors as well as their owners.

When a person decides to own a dog, he should be prepared to care for it properly. For a dog to stay healthy it must be correctly fed and adequately groomed, and its medical needs must be met. For a dog to be well-mannered it must be properly trained. It should never be ill-treated or mishandled. Otherwise, it will bite in its own defense.

The wild ancestors of all dogs were hunters. Wolves and other wild relatives of the dog still hunt in packs for their food. Dogs have retained the urge to be with the pack. This is why they do not like to be left alone for long. Some breeds of dogs still retain the hunting instinct.

Dogs exist in a wide range of sizes, colors, and temperaments. Some, such as the Doberman pinscher and the German shepherd, serve as alert and aggressive watchdogs. Others, such as the beagle and the cocker spaniel, are playful family pets, even though they were bred for hunting. Still others, such as the collie and the Welsh corgi, can herd farm or range animals. Each of the dogs just mentioned is a purebred. A mongrel dog, however--one with many breeds in its background--can just as easily fit into family life.

Dogs have been with humans since prehistoric times. Over the years they have performed various services. They have pulled sleds over snowy tracts. They have delivered messages, herded sheep and cattle, and even rescued persons trapped in the snow. Dogs have served as a source of food, too. The ancient Romans are said to have prized certain kinds of dog stew. The Aztecs of ancient Mexico raised tiny dogs, thought to be the forebears of the chihuahua, to feed the large carnivores in the private zoos of the Aztec rulers. In the past dogs have even been worshiped as gods. Recently, they have been used in drug research, medical experimentation, and space science. Soviet scientists launched dogs into space to test the ability of mammals to survive the rigors of space travel before people were sent up.

Dogs are trained as guard dogs in peacetime by the United States Army and other military services. Because of their keen sense of smell, dogs are used by police at times to track down escaped prisoners. Law enforcement agencies also rely on the dogs acute sense of smell to uncover illegal drugs. And specially trained dogs serve as the "eyes" of the blind, guiding the steps of their sightless masters around obstacles and hazards.

狗是世界上最受欢迎的宠物之一。它通常仍然忠于一个体贴的主人,因为这个狗被称为人类最好的朋友。人们之间的阶级差别没有生活在狗的一部分。它可以是一个忠实的伴侣,无论是富人还是穷人。

狗驯化在人类历史的大多数时期,因此球员很多。故事被告知关于勇敢的狗,令人钦佩的战争或冒着生命危险拯救的人处于危险之中。当庞培——罗马社区在公元79年被维苏威火山——终于被挖掘,搜索者发现一只狗躺在一个孩子的证据,显然试图保护这个年轻人。也许一些世界上数以百万计的狗可能是英雄,但他们仍然是一个真正的喜悦主人的来源。

一只狗容易符合家庭生活。在赞美和感情。当大师告诉一只狗,它是好的,动物快乐地摇尾巴。但当主人骂狗,它潜伏了一个羞怯的外观和它的两腿之间夹着尾巴。

城市的人们以及那些在其他领域可以享受一只狗。中型或小型狗是最适合城市的范围。大型犬在大面积需要相当大的锻炼。

然而,狗并不总是值得思考的。近年来狗在城市里一直在争论的中心。有些人批评狗主人允许宠物土壤人行道和草坪,尽管在一些城市的法律迫使业主限制他们的狗沿着街道散步。反过来,狗主人认为,动物作为防范破坏者和窃贼,从而保护他们的批评者以及它们的主人。

当一个人决定自己的一条狗,他应该准备妥善照顾它。狗保持健康必须正确美联储和充分培养及其医疗需求必须得到满足。狗必须得到适当的训练表现得彬彬有礼。它不应该虐待或处理不当。否则,它会咬自己的防御。

所有的狗都是猎人的野生祖先。狼和其他的野生亲缘狗仍然集体觅食的食物。狗有保留的冲动与包。这就是为什么他们不喜欢独处太久。一些品种的狗仍然保留了狩猎的本能。

狗存在大范围的大小,颜色,和性情。一些,比如杜宾犬,德国牧羊犬,作为预警和积极的监督者。其他的,如小猎犬和可卡犬,好玩的家庭宠物,尽管他们的狩猎。还有一些,比如牧羊犬和威尔士科基犬,可以群农场或范围的动物。每个狗刚才提到的一个纯种。一条杂种狗,然而——有许多品种的背景——可以很容易适应家庭生活。

狗自史前时代以来一直与人类。这些年来,他们已经在执行各种服务。他们已经把雪橇在雪大片。他们传递的消息,赶羊和牛,甚至救出被困在雪地里的人。狗也有担任过的食物来源。古罗马人据说炖珍贵的某些种类的狗。古代墨西哥的阿兹特克提出了很小的狗,认为是吉娃娃的祖先,给阿兹特克的私人动物园大型食肉动物的统治者。在过去的狗甚至被崇拜为神。最近,他们被用于药物研究、医疗实验,和空间科学。苏联科学家发射了狗测试能力的哺乳动物生存的艰辛太空旅行之前人打发了。

狗是训练有素的警犬在和平时期的美国军队和其他军事服务。因为他们的敏锐的嗅觉,狗被警察有时用来追踪逃跑的囚犯。执法机构也依靠狗的敏锐的嗅觉发现非法毒品。和受过专门训练的狗充当盲人的“眼睛”,指导的步骤失明的主人在障碍和危害。
