Panda—the National Treasure

Panda is one of the scarcest animals.People in the world like it very much.There used to be many pandas in China long ago.As the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer,pandas became less.But at present,the number of pandas is increasing year by year.There are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them.

Nowadays,the biggest nature park for panda in China is in Sichuan.There is a research centre for nature and wild life there.Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.

It is known to everyone that the unrestrained slaughter of wild animals has diminished the number of some endangered species. More and more species are being driven to extinction every year. It is terrible to think that magnificent animals are being sacrificed to human vanity

There are already laws enacted to prevent the importation of rare animals and the products made from their flesh, skin and bones.

These laws must be strictly enforced. Violators of these laws must be severely punished .Moreover, the public must be informed about the natural treasures we stand to lose .If we don’t take immediate action, we will be depriving future generations of our most precious heritage.

In Taiwan, because most people do not understand the importance of wildlife, the wildlife is in a poor situation. We Chinese are fond of eating anything delicious, so there are many animals killed by hunters. People enjoy eating tigers, bears, birds, and lions, so there are fewer and fewer birds flying in the sky and fewer and fewer bears running here and there in the forest. Instead, we often see them for sale at the market. How poor they are! And how cruel we are!

In my opinion, we should try every possible way to preserve wildlife. First, no one is allowed to hurt any wild animal. Second, the authorities concerned should punish those who kill any wild animal. Third, we should pay more attention to those endangered species to protect them from being eaten. If we can do so, nature must become very beautiful.

My fish tank with three small goldfish, one particularly attractive. Its eyes bulging, like a pair of big light bulb. Small mouth, a mouth spit out a series of small blisters, like children blow bubble gum. I named it "bubble eyes" three goldfish often play hide-and-seek together. "Bubble eyes" to stay still in one place, after waiting for the other two small goldfish hide well turned to find, but the two small goldfish too cunning, with unnoticed behind the "bubble eyes". Had half a day also can not find "bubble eyes". After a while, it turned to find that the other two small goldfish. I domesticated small goldfish is really interesting!

我家鱼缸里养着三条小金鱼，其中一条特别惹人喜爱。它的眼睛鼓鼓的，像一对大灯泡。嘴巴小小的，一张嘴就吐出一连串的小水泡，像小朋友吹泡泡糖一样。我给它取名“水泡眼”三条金鱼经常在一起玩捉迷藏的游戏。“水泡眼”先停留在一个地方动也不动，等另外两条小金鱼躲好后转身去找，可那两条小金鱼太狡猾了，神不知鬼不觉地跟在“水泡眼”的后面。害得“水泡眼”半天也找不到。过了一会儿，它一转头，才发现另外两条小金鱼。我家养的小金鱼真有趣!

Elephant is the largest animal on land today. It weights some ninety kilograms and is about one metre high when born. When it is 12 years old, it studs over three meters and does not grow any more. Elephant is usually grey in color, having a long trunk with large ivory tusks protruding from each side of its mouth. Usually moving in groups and caring for each other, Elephant is know to be a very and gentle creamre. For many years people have used the strength of these poweful animals to move trees and heavy logs. Elephant has been and is a vital tool for people to do many things that would normally be imposs-ible. Elephant is and will continue to be one of the greatest creatures man has ever come into contact with. Its size. beauty, and power willforever be useful to man.

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 aloneare 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。

我最喜欢的小动物小兔，它有一身雪白的皮毛，看戏来很可爱。她的两只眼睛是红色的，看戏来像一对红色的宝石。亮晶晶的。每天早上这只小白兔吃一根胡萝卜，两片菜叶，它就吃饱了。

My favorite little animal rabbit, it has a snow-white fur, very cute to see the play. Her eyes were red, and the play was like a pair of red stones. Glistening. Every morning the rabbit to eat a carrot, two leaves, it is full.

每天我中午放了学，一回到家，它就蹦蹦跳跳地跳到我的面前，好像在说欢迎你回家。我每天看到它，就算我不开心，我一看到他我就很高兴。把那些不开心的的事情全部忘记了。

Every day I studied at noon. As soon as I got home, it bounced up and down in front of me, as if to say, "welcome home.". I see it every day, and even if Im unhappy, Ill be glad to see him. Forget all the unhappy things.

又一次，我的同学来我家做客，它还是像往常那样蹦蹦跳跳的跑向我，我的同学看见了，她说：“你家的小白兔好可爱哦!回家一会我也让我的爸爸给我买一只小兔子。”

Once again, my classmate came to my house, and it ran to me as usual. My classmate saw it and she said, "your little rabbit is so cute!"! When I got home, I asked my father to buy me a rabbit."

就这样，我越来越喜欢我的小兔子，我一定要好好照顾它!

In this way, I like my little rabbit more and more. I must take good care of it!

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 become 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.

我是来自重庆新华中学的一名学生。得知你们有一个空缺给学生充当动物发言人，我抑制不住内心的激动，想要抓住这次机会为动物做些什么。

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.

我认为，没有什么能够像关心动物一样让我快乐。不管我去到哪里，在做些什么，我会时刻牢记动物是来自天堂的天使，带给我们无尽的舒适和快乐。我从小开始就是一名熊猫爱好者。熊猫是如此可爱，给人们带来乐趣，而且它们是我国的国宝。不幸的是，这种稀有物种现在正频临灭绝的危险。我想要做的是提高人们保护环境的意识，呼吁更多的人关心我们地球的伴侣。

It is my belief that all human beings can make a difference together. I would appreciate it if my application could get your approval.

我相信，所有人团结起来就会有很大的不同。如果我的申请能够得到大家的赞成，我将不胜感激。

Do you know what kind of animal I like most? It’s monkey. Monkey is a kind of lovely animal.

Many people like monkeys very much. Generally, monkey has small body covered with fur. Some kinds of monkeys have two big eyes and ears and a long tail. I can see them on TV or the zoo.

Every time I go to the zoo, I will go to see them.

Monkeys often stay in trees and jump between them. They are so lively and favorable. When they are happy, they will act for visitors. It’s very funny.

Animals are friends of human beings. An animal is dependent on the human, also, the human also cannot leave the animals.

Long, long ago, animals and humans are a good friend. They help each other, rely on each other, get along with, who also cannot leave the who. However, with the passage of time, because of human beings, the animals with human relations soured, and there are more and more serious trend.

First of all, human beings to animals is wanton killing, on the one hand, caused a substantial reduction in animals, on the other hand also caused the animals to human hostile, to some extent destroy the animals with human friendly relationship. In fact, for a long time, the behavior of the human animal cruelty has not rested, eat eat peacock, owls, monkey, red-crowned cranes, bear bile absorption, is really to the point of "all things" entrance! What do you want to, so can not cause animal angry? How can you make animals not to stand up and fought back? This is also the animal attack humans, even damage the important reason of human life.

Second, with the progress of human society, some bad behaviors of human beings, not only destroyed the earths environment, and damage to the animals living environment. Factory sewage, automobile exhaust, deforestation of forests and other bad behavior, have caused serious damage to nature, and at the same time there are opposite to the nature of the direct damage caused by animals that makes the animal difficult to live, the type and quantity less and less, destroy the balance of the ecosystem, eventually make human to destruction.

Visible, the relationship between animals and humans have come to the point where serious deterioration, at the same time, also pose a threat to the survival of mankind itself. Humans are still can such wrong-headed, impenitence? ! I think that human beings should be timely change their bad habits, to love animals, protect earths environment.

As a primary school student, we should start from me, start from now, to take care of our nature, protect the animals around us.

Let us act together, take care of animals, people for the ethical treatment of animals, and become a good friend of animals, to improve the relationship between the animals and humans to make their due contribution!

动物是人类的朋友。动物离不开人类，同样，人类也离不开动物。

很久很久以前，动物和人类是一对好朋友。他们互相帮助、互相依靠、和睦相处，谁也离不开谁。但是，随着时间的推移，由于人类自身的原因，造成了动物与人类的关系恶化，而且有越来越严重的趋势。

首先，人类对动物的肆意捕杀，一方面造成了动物的大量减少，另一方面也造成了动物对人类的敌意不断增强，一定程度上破坏了动物与人类的友好关系。事实上，一直以来，人类残害动物的行为一直没有停息过，吃孔雀、吃猫头鹰、吃猴脑、吃丹顶鹤、吸熊胆，真是到了“万物皆入口”的地步!您想，这样怎么能不引起动物的愤怒呢?怎么能让动物不挺身而出、奋起反击呢?这也是造成了动物攻击人类、甚至伤害人类生命的重要原因。

其次，随着人类社会的不断进步，人类自身的一些不良行为，不仅破坏了地球环境，也破坏到了动物的生存环境。工厂的污水、汽车的尾气、对森林的过度砍伐等不良行为，都对大自然造成了严重的破坏，同时也对生存在大自然的动物造成了直接的伤害，使动物生存艰难，种类、数量越来越少，破坏了整个生态系统的平衡，最终使人类走向灭亡。

可见，动物与人类的关系已经到了严重恶化的地步，同时，也威胁到了人类自身的生存。人类难道还能这样执迷不悟、不知悔改吗?!我想，人类应该及时改变自身的不良习惯，爱护动物，保护地球环境。

作为一名小学生，我们应该从我做起，从现在做起，爱护我们的大自然，保护我们周围的动物。

让我们大家一起行动起来，爱护动物，善待动物，成为动物的好朋友，为改善动物与人类的关系做出自己应有的贡献吧!

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.This is what I like animals, do you like?

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction， because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly。 For example， with the developmet of cities， the using of insecticide and serious pollution， their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower。 Many of the wild animals， now are confronted with food crisis。 At the same time， man is killing off species just for getting their fur， skin， horns， teeth and meat。

In order to protect our resources of ecology， people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty。 There fore， measures of the following should be taken： pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life， reserves。

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved。

Animals are peoples friends, we should protect them.

If there is no animal on earth, there would be no human. Animal is a most of the earths food chain, if animals disappeared, we human beings will be extinct. For example: the frog disappeared, there is no animal pests to catch paddy fields, crops will not grow, humans have no food; If there is no tiger, the rabbit will excess breeding, our food is likely to be a rabbit eat didnt; If there is no owls, mice will encroach on our territory...

The earth is a big family, not lack of anyone, without animals, we humans situation, we should all band together and protect small animals.

动物是人们的朋友，我们应该保护它们。

地球上如果没有动物，就没有人类。动物是这个地球生物链的一大部分，如果动物消失了，我们人类也会灭绝。例如：青蛙消失了，就没有动物去捉稻田的害虫，农作物也就无法生长，人类就没有食物;如果没有老虎，兔子就会超额繁殖，我们的粮食就可能会被兔子吃没了;如果没有猫头鹰，老鼠就会侵占我们的地盘……

地球是一个大家庭，缺谁都不行，如果没有动物，我们人类的处境可想而知，我们大家应该团结起来，保护小动物。

Recently, our efforts to protect wild animals was questioned by the public,

because the news is keep reporting that more and more wild animals was killed by

human beings, especially the very precious one. Innocent animals was dead for

their meat, fur and tooth, it was just used to fill up human beings desire. In

my point of view, the wild animals were protected effectively still has a long

way to go.

Firstly, people should try harder to make a better place for animals. The

land where the wild animals live was deprived by human being. For hundreds

years, people cut the trees to make land for their living and farming, wild

animals homeland was took, they have no choice but run away. What is more,

human beings break the food link in nature; wild animals can not find enough

food to keep alive. There is no doubt that the destruction of nature has become

a big problem to kill wild animal, for instance, a polar bear was starved to

death because of the greenhouse effect, the ice was melt away, the seadog and

fish that polar bear like to eat are far away from them. For those reasons,

people should protect the environment first if they want to protect wild animals

effectively.

Second, no buying, no killing. Some rich people like to wear fur coat, they

treat it as a status symbol, especially for rich woman, they think animal fur is

beautiful and warm, they will never consider that the fur they wear for years is

the skin that animal wear for their whole life, and they knew how bloody when

people took the fur from animal but they choose to ignore it. If people do not

buy the fur and tooth, lots of wild animals will be survived.

In sum, wild animals are our friends, we should give back and protect their

homeland, and stop buying their body part, or our future generations will see

them in zoo and museum.

nimals 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.

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。
