七、One possible version;
Dear friends,
My name is Xixi. I’m 13 years old. I come from Sichuan. I’m the symbol of China. I like eating bamboo very much. However, I have few friends because many of us have been killed for some reasons. The number of us is falling quickly. And our homes are often destroyed. Our living places are becoming fewer and fewer. We can’t find enough food to eat either.
We are good friends of humans. I hope humans will stop cutting down the bamboo plants. More reserves will be set up for us. Then we will have enough bamboo to eat. We’ll be able to live in peace and enjoy our daily life happily.
Yours,
Xixi
