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

这天，萨娜打着伞和小伙伴们玩耍，一堆东西从天而降，它赶紧撑起伞，可没想到的是，刚买的新伞竟然被砸了几个洞，萨娜一看尽是些破瓶子、滑冰鞋、骨头等杂物，它哭着跑回了家，非常伤心，还在心疼那把漂亮的伞，同时也在气愤地想：为什么人类总是把垃圾扔进海中呢?难道他们把大海当做垃圾场吗?

过了几天，妈妈让萨娜去买食用盐，萨娜刚出门，就有一股刺鼻的味道直往鼻子里钻，而且它看不清前面的路，海水非常浑浊，它捂着鼻子往家跑，不时感觉肚子痛、头晕，妈妈告诉它：

这是因为油轮的石油漏到海里，污染了海水，你可要小心啊!

第二天早上，萨娜和妈妈带着口罩来到了伙伴家，在一起讨论解决环境问题的办法，大家积极思考，最后决定做一些提示板立在沙滩上。

在夜深人静的夜晚，成群的鱼儿们游出水面，在海滩上引人注目的地方立了十几个提示板，希望能够起到作用，大家都焦急地期盼着海洋明天的变化。

第二天，人们看见了提示板，上面写道：

来到这里游玩的人们，请你们不要再往海中扔杂物，我们的孩子因此而受伤，你们也有孩子，希望你们能将心比心，爱护我们这些海洋中的动物吧!我们会成为好朋友的!

大家感到后悔莫及，开始自我反醒，从此没有人再往海洋中乱扔垃圾，鱼儿们又恢复了平静的生活

这些可爱的鱼儿们带给我们深刻的思考：人们在污染环境的同时，不但对自己不利，而且动物的健康和生命也受到了威胁，我倡议大家要提高保护环境的意识，废品应该扔到指定地点，回收再利用。

让我们以身作则，从我做起，共同保护环境，爱护动物吧!

Best wishes Yours Panda

ncreased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However,

this level differs for each of us. Its very much like the stress on a violin

string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying

noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create

magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress

that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good

health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust

state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and

inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will

join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work

for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.

Sometimes,we go to climb the mountains.The mountain is very high.Look!There

is a clean river near the mountain.And there are some beautiful flowers,grass

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.

Tigers live in the thick forests and small animals in the forests are tigers food.

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.

英语环境保护类作文【2】

Dear Jack,

Thank you for your letter asking about our discussion on low carbon lifestyle.

Here is something about it.

We can do a lot in our daily life to achieve the goal of living low carbon life.

First, we’d better turn off lights if possible and spend less time watching TV or surfing the Internet.

Saving water also matters much.

Besides, we should sort out the rubbish, hoping that we might recycle some, which will surely benefit us a great deal.

In addition, we suggest using handkerchiefs instead of tissues so that we can prevent more trees from being cut down.

More importantly, when we go out, walking, riding bikes or taking buses should be our first choice, which contributes to a cleaner world.

Or it may cause a lot of problems.

It may pollute the air and water.

Our city has started to face the problem.

Some rubbish is sorted and sent to a certain place .

Waste gas is cleaned before it goes into the air.

Waste water is also cleaned before it is poured into rivers.

People should be prevented from throwing rubbish everywhere.

We should try our best to take care of our environment and fight against pollution.

上午，平平想养青蛙，于是，他拿了网和水桶出发了。

平平捉完青蛙，回家了，把小水桶放在桌上了。第二天平平要看看青蛙。青蛙没什么同样，只好听录音机。录音机里说了“请保护青蛙”平平不明白，就到书房里找书，他找到一本《动物百科知识》书，书里写着“青蛙是有益的动物”，我们要保护它。青蛙专门吃田里的害虫，是保卫田野的卫士。

平平知道自己做错了，便脸红了，他回到了池塘边把青蛙放了，一边对青蛙说：“小青蛙快回家吧！”

小朋友，我们要向平平学习，要保护小动物。

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is clearly shown in the bar chart, the kinds of wild animals have decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced on average each year, there were only 1.5 million left till 2010.

There are several reasons accounting for this problem. Apart from the polluted environment and natural disasters, illegal killing is an important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for fashion and a big profit, which can be seen vividly from the right picture. This has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

In my opinion, it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. A national public campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some firm laws to forbid abuse killing. Only in this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

许多动物都面临灭绝的危险。显然这个柱状图所示,野生动物的种类急剧下降在过去的几十年。每年平均30000野生动物减少,只剩下150万到2010。

占这个问题有几个原因。除了环境污染和自然灾害,非法捕杀是一个重要的原因。人类正在试图猎杀野生动物对于时尚和一个很大的利润,从右边可以看到生动的画面。这导致了动物的数量急剧减少。

在我看来,我们是时候采取快速行动保护他们。国家公共活动应该推出给动物一个良好的生活环境。此外,政府应该通过一些公司法律禁止虐待杀害。只有用这种方法我们才能与野生动物和谐相处。

二零一八年二月二十日/今天，我们去了克鲁格国家公园看野生动物。我们坐着越野吉普车，去看动物。我看见了羚羊，是公园里最多的动物，修长优美的身材，它长着黑色的弯弯的脚，屁股上写着字母＂M＂。有一只大象，象牙很短，看见我们的车丝毫不怕，站在那里吃草。

我们开到湖边，湖中有鳄鱼、河马，河马只露出了一点黑色的背。对岸还有4只小小的狮子，蹲坐着。我们还看到了一群斑马，低头踱步，往森林深处走去。森林远处，一只长颈鹿悠闲的抬高脖子，吃树叶。非洲长颈鹿的脖子比平常动物园看到的要短一些，身上长满了黑色的斑点。

山坡上有一只犀牛，因为很远所以看起来很小，鼻子上有个尖尖的角，摇着尾巴赶蚊子。一只非洲水牛，黑色的身体，弯弯的牛角，站在草丛中。

这次来南非，我看到了很多以前没见过的动物，因为这里的动物是野生的，没有人类攻击它们，是原生态。我觉得自然界非常神奇，不同的动物在大草原上和平相处，我们要保护动物们。

It is one of the most precious animals. Their bodies are very long, about one zhang（丈）. Dolphins live in the sea. They live on fish, shrimps and so on.

Dolphins are very friendly and peaceful. They never attack people. Instead, they have saved many people in danger in the past years. How helpful the dolphins are!

Dolphins are very clever. People often train them so that they can give a dolphin show which brings people a lot of happiness and joy.

Unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. Because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. Many people make money by hunting dolphins. If we don’t protect them, maybe we’ll lose our good friends one day. As a student, I hope more and more people should take actions to protect dolphins.

In 2011, the greatest CEO of Apple company, Steve Jobs passed away. People

from all around the world felt pity for the loss of this great talent. They laid

down notes and wrote some comments on the blog to show their respect. Looked at

Steves lifetime, he did not finished college and started his career in the age.

Though he quit school, he would listen to another lesson that caught his

interest. He overcame the difficulty of being poor by earning money through

collecting bottles. His insistence and creativity brought him great success in

career, but later he got fired. He felt frustrated then he realized he could

start his another career. He bought an animation studio and now it is very

successful. The Pixar movie studio is popular around the world. Steves story

inspires the young people to fight for their dreams.

In order to support Beijing to hold the 2008 Olympic Games and protect our environment,an activity was organized by the Young League and Students Union of our school during the week from June 3rd to June 8th.

All the students in the senior grades took active part in it.Some students cleaned the playground,watered the young trees and flowers,and removed weeds.Some students collected waste paper,old books,empty cans and old toys.They had them sorted and sent them to the recycling center.

The activity is really instructive.Now we all have realized how important protecting the environment is.

一转眼，我已成为一名小动物保护协会的会员了。

一个酷暑难当的夏日，我接到了一个紧急救援电话：您好!我在玫瑰街珊瑚小区23号楼下的花坛内发现一只受伤的流浪猫。这只猫的伤势十分严重，请立即到达现场!放下话筒，我和同事们就带上医疗箱，驱车前往。 我们到达目的地后，果然看见一只流浪猫奄奄一息地躺在地上，它的后腿上有一道很长的伤口，伤口里似乎还有一些杂物，伤口四周已经溃烂，流着脓。我和同事们赶紧用酒精为它消毒，再用纱布简单包扎了一下，然后将它带回小动物保护协会。

回到保护协会，我们立刻投入治疗工作中。 我小心翼翼地剔除掉猫咪腿上伤口中的杂物，进行深一层次的消毒。接着，我把溃烂的地方用手术刀轻轻挖去，随后上药，缝合伤口，最后用纱布缠在伤口上。直到此时，我才深深地舒了一口气。我看向猫咪，发现它的眼里流露出感激的神情，好像在向我致谢。接下来的几天里，我们还定时给猫咪换药。 一个月过去了，猫咪的伤口痊愈了!我和同事们都很高兴。接着，我们在网上发布了猫咪的信息，希望有人能收养它，并好好对待它。

不久，一对夫妇表示愿意收养这只猫咪 如果我是小动物保护协会的会员，我会为我的动物伙伴们做得更多更多!

I am a student from Xinhua High School in Chongqing，China。 Informed that you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals， I cannot resist my inner excitement，hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for animals 。

In my mind，nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals。 Wherever I go and whatever I do， I usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the heaven， which bring us endless comfort and pleasure。 I have been a panda lover since my childhood。 Panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are regarded as the treasure of our country。 Unfortunately，such a rare species is now faced with the danger of being extinct。What I am eager to do is to raise people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for our earth companies。

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.

【参考译文】

动物需要人类的保护

动物是自然资源，在整个历史过程中，人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物 ，获得它们的皮毛，把它们当作食物或运动方式，或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物 已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物 也上了濒危动物 名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。

为什么人们应该感到担忧呢?因为我们需要动物 ，因为它们一旦消失，就永远不会再出现。动物 不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来源。在维持自然平衡中，每种动物 都有其作用。毁灭某种动物 会导致许多问题。比如，农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰，他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。 为什么?因为鹰吃鼠类，没有鹰控制它们的数量，鼠类就会迅速繁殖。

幸运的是，有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物 。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护 濒危动物 的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物 的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。

From this cartoon, we can see that at the top end of the river,is a chemical factory and a paperrnaking factory which send out and poisonous wastes. And the river has been seriously polluted,n be seen from the color of it. Along this "black" river, there area few people selling fresh water which must have been taken from far away places.

At the first glance, it is very strange to us how can people sell water along the river, but this is the case, because the water in this river is undrinkable. This presents a serious social problem--environmental pollution. With the development of economy, our living standards have been greatly improved. But we can＇ t ignore the fact the air we take in and the water we drink today are not as fresh and clean as they used to be. Some kinds of pollution can even be deadly to people. It is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.

I think we can first call people＇s attention to this problem so that they will be aware of the serious consequences of it. Then,we can pass certain laws to restrain the factories from sending out wastes. Finally, we can do more resarch work to find out ways to deal with the wastes.

Keep Square Clean, Tidy On Sunday, still on display on Tian＇anmen Square were dozens of floats that were paraded along Chang＇ an Avenue during the NationalDay celebrations. Thousands of people strolled on the narrow lanes be- tween the floats that fragmented the square, busily taking photos. Not far from the noisy crowds, yellow leaves fell nonchalantly from locust trees along the driveway, sending out the first signals of the coming autumn. But even if all the leaves fall, they still cannot cover the brown and black spots on the hitish stones in the huge square.

Such stains of chewing gum, stale oil or some worse blemish have remained a constant pain for city cleaners since the square ＇was re-opened a few months ago after renovations to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People＇s Republic of China.

Few renovation project planners likely foresee this discouraging outcome. Originally, they merely intended to give the city a facelift. The square was indeed impeccable when new: The-white terrazzo surface not only looks clean but it was made with materials that help prevent it from becoming slippery.

However, as time goes by, the virtue becomes the vice: the surface attracts and accentuates dirt. As a result, China＇ s most high profile site has to suffer the indignity of being paraded daily efore thepublic in a humiliation state.

While the tourists who litter should bear the bulk of the blame, the renovation designers should also have learned something: including the square＇s sanitary maintenance issue into their consideration.

I have seen a special TV, save 1500 sheets of paper, you can leave a big tree. The tree is our good friend, it can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, can reduce the noise, can block the sand, can prevent water loss and soil erosion... Starts from me, saving every piece of paper, children all over the world can save a lot of a lot of paper, you can retain a lot of trees, you can leave a big forest, desert, less and less, more and more pure and fresh air, green more and more. How I wish my hometown mountain more green, and blue, the water environment of our lives forever charactizing a fine spring day.

We used in battery life; it contains lead, if throw it carelessly, section 1 waste batteries can lose one square metre of soil utilization value forever. In many countries, many areas have carried out recycling of waste batteries. In Germany, to buy a new battery, used batteries must be pay back. So, we should to find a "home" for waste batteries. I hope we panzhihua environmental protection departments also set up waste battery recycling. Thoroughly protect the soil so that it can always grow crops.

Save a piece of paper, recycling waste battery section... Although we do is small, but it made great contribution for environmental protection. I hope my classmates from now on, all to do an environmental small guards. There is only one earth, we have to take care of it.

环保是一个很大的工程，但我们可以从身边的小事做起，为保护环境做很多事。

我们每天都要用纸，你知道纸张是怎么来的吗?是用大树来造纸的。全世界每年都要砍掉很多树来造纸。我看过一个专题电视，节约1500张纸，就可以保留一棵大树。大树是我们的好朋友，它可以把二氧化碳变为氧气，可以降低噪音，可以挡住风沙，可以防止水土流失……从我做起，节约每一张纸，全世界的小朋友可以节约很多很多纸，就可以保留很多很多大树，就可以留下一片大森林，沙漠越来越少，空气越来越清新，绿色越来越多。我多希望我的家乡山更青、水更绿，我们生活的环境永远鸟语花香。

我们生活中用到的电池，它含有铅，如果把它随手乱扔，1节废电池可以使一平方米的土壤失去永远的利用价值。很多国家、很多地区都开展了废电池的回收。在德国，购买新电池的时候，必须将废旧电池交回来。所以，我们应该给给废电池找个“家”。我希望我们攀枝花的环保部门也设立废旧电池回收站。好好的保护土壤，让它可以永远长出庄稼。

节约一张纸、回收一节废旧电池……我们做的虽然是小事，但却为环保做了大贡献。我希望我的同学们从现在开始，都来做一个环保小卫士。地球只有一个，我们都要好好爱护它。

In our common home - the earth, life with a lot of animal, which animal do you like? Anyway, my favorite animal is our most loyal friend - a dog.

My favorite is my neighbors dog that Beijing BaGou yuan yuan and collie handsome. They play together every day, it is a good friend of a stick dozen not scattered, I also like them, they saw I was shaking his tail towards me.

Handsome shape tiger is big, the body is about more than 60 centimeters long. Two leg, capable to my shoulders, his eyes, nose, mouth, ears are much older than yuan yuan, I most like to see him running figure - curly float in the sky, like a nice horse. I often and yuan yuan, running with the handsome, every time is handsome first, second, I am the third round. Can literally, handsome running faster than thoroughbred horse. Average dog ran up, send out "clicking" sound, but handsome rans voice is very small, not carefully is inaudible. The appearance of the handsome run is also very handsome, curly, bow shaped body. If you want to use a word to describe talent, that is: handsome. If you use a word that was impeccable.

Compared with the handsome, round shape is much smaller, only 30 centimeters in length and a half smaller than talent. The meaning of his name from his eyes, it is too round. Like a shiny black stones. And his legs are very round and round this is name. And his legs are very short, so even if he runs, casting its foot also run fast, but I still like him very much the kind of simple and lovely.
