高一英语保护动物作文(20篇)

有一天，很多家长带着孩子们到动物园去游玩。

进入动物园，小朋友们给可爱的小猴子喂食。有的小朋友扔苹果给小猴子吃，有的小朋友扔香蕉给小猴子吃，有的小朋友扔带壳的糖果给小猴子吃，甚至杂七杂八的东西都扔给小猴子吃，还玩得很开心呢！

贪吃的小猴子把这些东西都吃进肚子里了。过了一会儿，小猴子的肚子像充气时的气球渐渐地大起来了，还痛得小猴子哇哇乱叫呢！后来，饲养员赶紧把小猴子带到兽医站治疗。经过兽医给小猴子吃药、打针之后，小猴子的病情有所好转了。

事情发生后，大家才认识到：保护动物、爱护动物，不仅体现了人们的良知，也体现了一个人的文明程度。

Although people are now said to protect animals, but there are a lot of people wrong-headed, continue to hunt animals, cause many animals to the road to extinction. Humans and animals to see, sold at the same time, made from animal skins coat... But these people ever think, if you are an animal, are hunted by humans, what would you think? Some people say: "Im not a animal." But now hunted animals, animals would like to have? No, never. Although some people know how to care for the animals, but they will only pretending to go to the education of others, and themselves but also damage the environment, killing animals, so enthusiastic tasting animal meat is delicious. Take the puppy around us, for instance, although not a national secondary other rare animals, but also our good partners, whether master how to use it, it still is very dedicated, but humans find dog meat is delicious, began to kill the dog.

Now, some animals have almost extinct, take the crocodile, for instance, although it is very fierce, but humans are more fierce. And in the eyes of human beings, crocodile skin can be made into the luggage, handbags, wallets, shoes and other goods. Because of some organs from animals has the prominent economic value, thus become a subject of human plunder use, become the main factor of extinct animals. So the crocodile, has now become almost extinct animals.

Animal friends, a lot of destruction of human will have serious adverse consequences, ecological environment caused by serious imbalance, so that the human living environment is destroyed. Eliminate animal, is to eliminate human oneself, if one day the animals in the world are gone, that human can survive? To protect animals, cherish this nature of every creature! Let us start from now, to protect animals, make the world a better place!

虽然人们现在都说要保护动物，但是还有很多人执迷不悟，继续猎杀动物，导致许多动物都走向了灭绝的道路。同时人类还拿动物来观赏、卖钱，用兽皮做大衣……但这些人有没有想过，如果你是一只动物，却遭到了人类的猎杀，你会怎么想?有些人说：“我又不是动物。”但是现在人类大量捕杀动物，动物会愿意吗?不，永远不会。有些人虽然知道怎样去爱护动物，可是他们只会假惺惺地去教育别人，而自己却照样破坏环境，猎杀动物，照样兴致勃勃的品尝动物鲜美的肉。就拿我们身边的小狗来说吧，虽然不是国家一二级别的珍贵动物，但也是我们身边的好伙伴，不管主人怎么使唤它，它仍然很兢兢业业，可是人类发现狗肉鲜美，就开始捕杀小狗。

现在，有些动物已经快要灭绝了，就拿鳄鱼来说吧，它虽然很凶猛，但人类更凶猛。而在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

朋友们，动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态环境严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。消灭动物，就是在消灭人类自己，如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了，那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物，珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧!让我们从现在做起，保护动物，使世界变得更加美好吧!

我喜欢看电视，我最喜欢看的就是动物世界了，本来看到那些野生动物应该是件开心的事情，但是这一次的节目却让我感觉这么沉重，这么难过。

这一个节目主要讲的是两种海洋动物的遭遇。

第一种是鲸鱼：大多数人都会认为鲸鱼的鱼翅是既有营养又有好味道。在看电视之前，我也是这样认为的，但看了这档节目之后我就不这么认为了。因为我听这档节目的嘉宾说：一整条鲸鱼上的鱼翅的营养总价值竟与一枚鸡蛋的营养价值相当。而鱼翅本身是没有味道的，只是人工添加佐料而调成的味道，也就是说，如果没有鱼翅，也可以调出鱼翅的味道。可是一些富豪因为显摆自己尊贵的身份而吃鱼翅。

可以总结出：某些人为了吃一碗简单又没有价值的鱼翅，而不惜杀死一整条鲸鱼。

另一个更让我悲伤，因为受捕的对象竟然是海豚。在每个相同的季节，大量的海豚都会从一个日本的海滩经过。所以当地的渔民经常从海里驱赶它们到这个海滩上，当它们一来到这个海滩上，马上遭到围捕。绝大多数的海豚会就地屠杀，只有极少数的海豚被选中作为观赏动物送到海洋馆。每次捕杀完毕，海滩上就会一片血红……

当我看到这一幕时，眼泪不由自主流了下来。当我正为这些海豚感到难过时，屏幕上的渔民却个个面带笑容地把这些被屠杀的海豚拉到交易市场。然而更让我们震惊的是，这些海豚肉竟比牛肉卖的还便宜。

在很多记载中，有不少海豚主动救人的例子。可是这些日本渔民因利益和金钱的诱惑蒙敝了双眼，去残忍地杀害对人类有贡献的海豚。

面对这些事实。让我不禁深思；这些动物没有对人类和大自然的生态环境造成不利影响，反而有利于生态发展。可是我们人类对它们做出了什么？对它们进行保护？我们没有尽到应有的职责。让它们有一个良好的生存环境？我们也没有做到什么。只有让它们原本美好的家园受到严重的污染。并且围捕、屠杀和伤害它们……

愚蠢的人类，请停下你们的屠杀吧，不要再伤害我们的朋友们了。不要让我们的朋友对我们的美好记忆变成噩梦，不要再伤害它们了！

导语：你有养过什么宠物呢?它们是怎么跟你成为好朋友的?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Now the pigeon has become my best friend. When I come home from school, it always flies to me and rests on my shoulders, it likes to talk to me. It makes my spare time colorful.

【参考翻译】

我有一只宠物。它是一只鸽子。它有白色和灰色羽毛，一个红色的嘴和两个小眼睛。很可爱。

我在公园附近找到的。它的腿受伤了不能飞。我把它带回家治愈它。每天早上，我给它一些水和小块面包。它变得越来越强壮。

现在鸽子成了我最好的朋友。当我从学校回家的时候，它总是飞到我的肩上，它喜欢和我说话。它使我的业余时间丰富多彩。

Protection of the Environment

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.

Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources,and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught.We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear. Yet, we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees. We see that if rivers are polluted with waste products, we will die. Yet, waste products are

still put into rivers.

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there wont be enough food.What can we do to solve these problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available. Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept.

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them.

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.

Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future.

“事先生，请问我们人类在20xx年还能生活在这片土地上吗？”一大堆记者围着事天知问这问那。

事先生是个天文学家、地理学家、预言家。事先生的经纪人说：“我家先生很累，请你们让让！”事天知说：“我想跟各位记者说的是，20xx年后人类不可能在这里生活下去！”事先生的口气带着严肃和遗憾，“如果你们想逃去别的地方，我只能告诉你们这是没有用的，我的话说完了你们请回吧！”那些记者还是不甘心，事先生只能随即上了一辆的士来摆脱那些记者。

回到家．随手将摄影机扔到沙发上，我啪地一声倒在沙发上自言自语道：“真的没救了吗？”不，不一定，一个念头即刻闪过我的脑海：在《马小跳——丁克舅舅》这本书里，新新人类一定可以拯救地球的！我找他们去！我拿起摄像机立刻冲了出去，外边的风好大好冷，我好茫然好无助。马路上已经看不到车了，好不容易等到一辆车，司机问我去哪？我说：“去咖啡厅！”司机问：“你是记者吧？为什么去咖啡厅啊？”我毫不犹豫地说：“我去找新新人类来拯救地球！”“我参加可以吗？我不需要钱，我有个快出生的女儿，我不希望她没机会看到这个世界。”我想了想：那也好，有车就方便多了。于是我爽快地答应了。

一连找了十几家咖啡厅都没看到新新人类的身影，司机问：“为什么要在咖啡厅找？”我耐心地回答：“因为他们在咖啡厅工作。”

到了晚上，司机突然喘着气来找我说：“有一个……新新人类坐我的车！”“在哪？”“在楼下！”我飞奔下楼，欢呼着：“就是他，就是他。”我请新新人类到咖啡厅喝咖啡。原来司机是在聊天时得知他是新新人类的，就把他带来了。

我费了九牛二虎之力终于让新新人类说出了那个秘密：把南北极地心中的两块碎片拼合起来，就能拯救地球。但是这两块碎片有巨大的辐射，谁一旦拿起它就会在三天内死去。后来，那位司机拼合了碎片，他也在三天后离开了这个世界。

新新人类还告诉我：我们若想在地球上生活下去，唯一的办法就是保护环境，保护大自然。

地球上不只有我们人类，还有许许多多的动物。人类和动物是好朋友，所以我们要保护动物。世界上有许多动物都濒临灭绝，比如说大熊猫、中华鲟、东北虎等等。然而，我最喜欢的动物就是我国一级保护动物大熊猫。

因为他长的胖胖的，很可爱。大熊猫的主要食物就是竹子。但是由于人们砍伐树木，使大熊猫的食物越来越少，所以，我们要保护树木。还有一些动物，因为不适应环境，已经快要灭绝了。所以，我们还要保护环境爱护大自然。让我们和动物能够和谐地生活在这个地球。同学们，动物是大自然给人类的无价之宝，是我们人类的朋友。它们的生死与我们的生活息息相关。

动物的大量灭绝会造成生态的严重不平衡，从而使我们人类的生存环境遭到破坏。让我们从我做起，从现在做起，保护动物。让世界变得更加美好吧!

如果你问我喜欢的小动物是什么？那我就告诉你，我喜欢的小动物是——小狗。

If you ask me what my favorite little animal is? Well, Ill tell you, my favorite little animal is puppy.

我家的小狗的毛是雪白雪白的，宛如雪落在小狗身上似的，漂亮极了！一双眼睛水汪汪的，好似刚刚下过一场春雨，雨点掉进了他眼里似的；它长着长长的尾巴，假如街边的尘土多，就可以用尾巴把尘土扫得干干净净的。

My little dogs fur is white and snowy, like snow falling on the puppy. Its so beautiful! A pair of eyes, watery, as if just under a spring rain, rain fell into his eyes; it has a long tail, if the street dust, you can use the tail sweep the dust clean.

有一次放学回家，我去看小狗。我那着骨头引它来吃，但它不但不吃，还一动不动的，好象被什么烦住了。原来，小狗就要生宝宝了……

Once I came home from school, I went to see the dog. I brought it to eat with the bone, but it not only did not eat, but also motionless, as if by what bother. It turned out that the puppy is going to have a baby......

宝宝出生后，我更疼爱小狗了。但好景不长，不幸的事情发生了。一天，小狗蹲在妈妈停车的位置上，那时妈妈回来了，妈妈一时看不见，小狗又睡着了，不知道。这时，妈妈把车停在那个位置上。就在这时候，小狗被妈妈撞死了。看到这情景，我伤心透了，连续哭了2个小时。

I loved the puppy more when I was born. But the good times dont last long unfortunate thing happened. One day, the puppy squatted in the parking place of mother. When mother came back, mother could not see it for a while, and the dog fell asleep again. I didnt know. At this moment, mother parked the car in that position. Just then, the puppy was killed by his mother. I was so sad when I saw the scene that I cried for 2 hours.

到了这个时候，我对小狗的感情依然还是那么深，我对小狗的死感到恋恋不舍。小狗，我爱你。

At this time, my feelings for the dog is still so deep, I feel unable to part of the dogs death. Puppy, I love you.

Every year in October, our school will have the tradition to hold a sports

meeting. It is the biggest event of the year, so all the students will practise

very hard to win the biggest honor. Relay race is the most important match,

because it involves so many students to take part in, showing the unity of a

team. Last year, our class won the second place. We lagged behind the champion

just a little distance, so we hoped to defeated them this time and won the first

prize. We have practised very hard, and every student in the team wanted to make

the breakthrough. When the match finally began, we ran very fast and kept our

space. Even though other team tried to disturbed us, we focused our attention.

The moment when our team first crossed the line, we cheer and cried. We made

it.

Panda is known as the national treasure of China. The panda was a kind of ordinary animal in China long ago. However, for some reasons, too many of them have been killed. So the number of them is falling quickly.

At present people are taking an important measure to save pandas. People want to find a home for them, and recently, they have set up a nature park for them in Sichuan Province,which is called "Pandas Home. "There pandas can enjoy their life happily. There is a bamboo forest near the Pandas Home. So the pandas can find bamboos easily which they like to eat very much.

Because pandas are well protected now, the number of them is increasing every year. We hope that one day we will have enough pandas to set them free and let them live in the wild again.

Pandas are good friends of man. Man should try to protect them and ]et them live in the way they like!

谁能告诉我哪里是我的家?谁能告诉我哪里有我自由的天空?谁能告诉我我的父母在哪里?谁能告诉我……

我叫，原来有一个幸福的家庭，家中有爸爸妈妈的疼爱。每当晨光熹微，我在伙伴的呼唤声中苏醒，伙伴们在林间嬉戏着。妈妈早已为我准备好丰盛的早餐，快乐的一天就从这里开始……暮色降临，爸爸在一旁给我讲闲暇的故事，林子里的一切都那样安谧。那时我们在这林子里生活得多么幸福呀!

可是好景不长，有一天来了一群猎人，他们拿着猎qiang四处寻找猎物，我的同胞有好多已经被他们打死了，爸爸说它们都被卖到大酒店里去做特色菜——“小鸟点盘”。我担心地问爸爸、妈妈：“我们是不是也要遭受这样的厄运呢?”妈妈从容地：说：“孩子别怕，有我们在。”但从他们不安的眼神中，我感到了恐惧的来临。惊魂的qiang声时常打破了树林的宁静，伙伴们的呼唤声越来越少，爸爸、妈妈常常护着我躲在窝中不敢轻易地行动。

这样提心吊胆过了几天，灾难终于降临到我的家中。爸爸为了保护我，让我骑在他的背上，带我飞走。而妈妈却留下来引开猎人，临行前，爸爸叫妈妈小心一点，在一片告别声中猎人的qiang声已经响起，爸爸只好带着我一步三回头地飞走了。在一阵qiang响之后，我的妈妈了。我大喊一声：“妈妈……”猎人发现了我和爸爸便向我们举起了qiang。爸爸躲开了猎人的子弹，带我向一片森林飞去，猎人依然穷追不舍。爸爸将我安置在茂密的丛林中，自己去跟猎人搏斗。我的直觉告诉我，爸爸这一去就回不来了。果然，一阵qiang响和惨叫之后，我的爸爸死了。

从那以后，我饱偿了没有母爱、父爱的痛苦，虽然猎人走了，我的生活并没有变好。过了几年，又有一群人把这片森林砍伐了，我已经没有地方安家了，只能四处盘旋，流浪。

人类快快醒悟吧!不要再伤害野生动物了。地球是我们赖以生存的家园，给我们一点生存的空间吧!不要因为你们的贪婪而破坏我们幸福的生活!这是一只小鸟在呼吁，这是一只小鸟在哭诉!

如果你是一只动物，却遭到了人类的猎杀，你会怎么想，你愿意吗，你愿意被猎杀吗?你绝对不愿意，有些人说：“我又不是动物。”但你们有没有想过动物们会怎么想吗?现在人类大量捕杀动物，动物会甘心吗?不，不会，永远不会。它们不愿意死在人类手里。它们愿意被你们猎杀吗?不，它们有一千个不愿意，一万个不愿意，一亿个不愿意……

有些人虽然知道怎样去爱护动物，可是他们只会假惺惺地去教育别人，而自己却照样破坏环境，照样兴致勃勃品尝野味。就拿印度洋毛里求斯群岛上生活的渡渡鸟来说，由于它身上的肉鲜美无比，所以遭到当时人类的大量捕食，在十七世纪就已告灭绝。但是如果当时人们有动物保护意识的话，就不会造成渡渡鸟的灭绝。

还有鲸，鲸不是让你们随意捕杀的，鲸是被杀掉一头就死一头的，不像小鱼小虾那样多，如果我们把鲸杀掉了，那我们的子孙后代，他们不是看不到鲸这种动物吗?

现在，有些动物已经灭绝了，鳄鱼虽然凶猛，但人类更凶猛。就是因为有些动物身上的器官具有突出的经济价值，由此成为被人类掠夺利用的对象，成为动物灭绝的主要因素。鳄鱼长着锐利的牙齿，和硕大的食物胃口，我们都说鳄鱼可怕，但鳄鱼更怕人类，在人类的眼中，鳄鱼皮可以制成行李箱，手提包，钱包，鞋等物品，所以鳄鱼，现在已经成为快要灭绝的动物了。

《金色的脚印》，这篇文章讲了正太郎家捉来了一只小狐狸，两只老狐狸想尽办法就救出小狐狸，正太郎很同情小狐狸，他偷偷地给老狐狸投送食物，于是，他们之间建立了亲密，信任的关系，后来两只老狐狸救了正太郎，最后，小狐狸回归了大自然，两只老狐狸是多么高兴!这篇文章赞美了人与动物之间互相信任，互相帮助，和谐相处的美好关系，也展现了动物之间的浓浓亲情。我们就要向正太郎学习，他帮助动物，动物也救了他，这样不是很好么?为什么人们还是要捕杀动物呢?

在此，我呼吁人们，不要再破坏自然界中的花草树木，不要再乱杀一禽一兽，不要再杀害我们的朋友，要保护好自然界中的一个个生灵。消灭动物，就是在消灭人类自己。如果有一天世界上的动物全都消失了，那人类还能生存吗?要保护动物，珍惜这自然界里的每一个生灵吧。

朋友们，动物是大自然留给人类的无价之宝，它是我们人类的朋友。它们的生衍死灭与我们人类的生活是密切相关的。动物的大量毁灭对人类将产生严重的不良后果，造成生态严重不平衡，从而使人类的生存环境遭到破坏。让我们从现在做起，从我做起，保护动物，使世界变得更美好吧!保护动物，就是保护人类自己!

人与自然有着密不可分的关系，一直以来，人类的生存与发展都离不开自然。自然有着丰富的资源供人类不断地开发利用，同时它不断给人们以优良新鲜的空气来生存。可以说，没有大自然，就没有人类今日的辉煌。

可悲的是，人类在利用自然时，大大地忽略了自然界的生物，为了牟取暴利，多少人昧着良心残忍地将动物杀害。眼见着藏羚羊只剩骨肉的尸体堆积如山，要的只是一张美的皮毛；老虎数量大幅度地减少，由原先的数以万计到如今的寥寥无几，为的就是虎皮和虎骨。或许那些人的良知早已泯灭，但这一幕幕生灵涂炭、不堪入目的场景不能令我们为之震撼、激愤？金钱能蒙蔽良知，却掩盖不了这悲剧不断地发生、重演。

我一直认为，爱护动物就是保护我们人类自己。试想一下，当地球上只有人类，再无其他生灵时，会是多么悲怆啊！再者，所有的生物组成了一条完整的食物链，人是最高统治者，但当一种又一种的生物灭绝时，食物链必是越来越贫乏，久而久之，当食物链只剩下人时，可想而知谁是盘中餐了吧。

俗语说得好：食在广东。广东一直是美食集锦之地。尤其是野味，在人们眼里是上好的补品，不仅营养丰富，而且味道与众不同。但毕竟是野生动物，在深山老林里带些病毒、寄生物是件平常之事，但一被人吃下去可就不得了了。例如闻其色变的“SARS”病毒就是野生动物传播的。

无论如何，保护动物已成了义不容辞、当务之急的事了，只有人与自然和平共处，才能不断发展、生存下去！

导语：动物是人类的朋友，可是每天都有着很多的动物被人类消灭，但是这依然动摇不了我们保护小动物的决心，下面和小编一起来看看动物英语作文：熊猫。希望对大家有所帮助。

The giant panda （Ailuropoda melanoleuca） （"black-and-white cat-foot"） is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wildand over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China（another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221）， with twenty pandas living outside of China.[citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg （253 pounds）。 Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg （220 pounds）。 Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.[citation needed]

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

[edit] Diet

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.

今天下午，我打开电脑上了qq，在qq空间里看见了“惊天地泣鬼神”的一幕。

一些人准备取小熊的胆汁，这时，一只母熊挣脱了铁笼，用巨大的熊掌掐死了小熊，然后把头撞上墙壁，死了。也许这是它们最好它们的办法，因为它们解脱了。

看完这一则故事，我快哭了。这么可爱的小熊，这么伟大的母熊，是谁狠心夺走了它们的生命?是人类。口口声声说保护大熊猫的是谁?也是人类。这不是自相矛盾吗?大熊猫是我国的国宝，可一些熊猫看见人类就想逃。这是为什么?因为有人伤害熊猫。

熊猫是多么可爱啊!他们也有生命，它们不是致富的工具。我们一定要保护熊猫，一些熊猫已找到，还有一些熊猫还在受那无尽的痛苦折磨。我们要将心比心，假如自己是它们，受到这种痛苦会怎么样?

在这里，我呼吁大家：爱护动物，让动物不再惧怕我们，让这个世界变得真正和平吧!

同时我也奉劝那些伤害熊猫的人：熊猫也有生命，熊猫也有感情。它们的价值并不是让我们赚钱，而是为自己而活。希望你们能到此收手!

Mark suddenly had a bad bellyache before class began this morning. His classmates immediately sent him to the Peoples Hospital nearby. In the hospital, the doctor gave him a medical check-up. The result of the examination showed that he was suffering from acute appendicitis and he needed an operation right away.

The monitor of his class quickly called Marks father and asked him to come to the hospital at once. After a while,Marks father came and the operation began in no time. Several days later,Mark recovered.

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.

一、Save the earth

How to protect theenvironment has become one of the biggest problems in the world .

It’s our duty toprotect our environment .No matter where we live ,we should do something tokeep our neighborhood clean and tidy .We can collect waste paper or otherwaste things for recycling.We should plant more trees and we should preventthose factories from pouring waste water into rivers,lakes and fields.We shouldn’t leave rubbish everywhere andspit in public places .We mustn’t pick the flowers or step on the grass inpublic.If everyone tries his best to protect the environment ,the world willbecome much more beautiful and our life will be better and better .

二、Improve our environment

Good environment canmake people feel happy.To improve the environment means to qualify our life .What should we do to improve our environment

We should plant moretrees .And we should prevent those factories from pouring waste water intorivers ,lakes and fields .Whenever we see litter on the ground ,we shouldpick it up and throw it into a dustbin .Don’t spit in public places .Don’tdraw on public walls .It’s our duty to keep our earth clean and tidy .

三、Pollutionaround us

Inrecent years our life is becoming better and better.But our environment isbecoming worse and worse.It’s very bad for our life.Now many people haveair-conditioners and cars,they produce (give off ) waste gas.More and moretrees are being cut down.There are so much sand on the earth (leaving onlysand ) .We often see factories pour waste into rivers or lakes.Water in theriver is quite dirty.We haven’t enough clean water to drink in cities.Now weare in danger.It’s very necessary and important to protect the environmentwell.I think if everyone tries his best to protect the environment,the worldwill become much more beautiful ,and our life will be better and better .

四、My country life

I like to live in the countryside.I live in a small village.There is a river near it.Lots of trees are around my house.I can see a lot of farms and birds.There is less noise.The air here is cleaner and fresher.There are fewer cars.I read aloud early in the morning.When it is getting dark,the moon is brightin the sky.It’s very quiet .What a nice place I live in !
