Macquarie Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. When humans arrived on the island in 1810, they brought rats, mice, cats and rabbits on end. Subsequently, all of them were out of controland damaged the ecology on the island dramatically. Both rats and cats developed an appetite for native birds, making the birds endangered. Rabbits apparently multiplied and caused soil erosion. To remove the rabbits, a virus was released. But the decrease of the rabbits caused cats to eat more native birds. In the 1980s, a substantial number oftrapsand dogs were used to catch the cats. In comparisonwith the departure of the cats, the number of mice, rats and rabbits exploded once again, especially the rabbits, which developed an immunity to the virus. The island was in chaos altogether. Ioweit to ourselves to restore the island. So on behalf ofthe association I am here calling for the conservation of the biological diversity. But this intervention is a long, much-delayed ending to a sad story.

In the new era with an expanding economy, it seems that many people are occupied with their own business. The other day, I was having dinner in a cafeteria when a young man popped up. He stared at his phone as if he were competing in a game, knocking down an old man. He went to help the old man immediately with the intention of taking him to hospital. However, the old man refused with a gesture meaning he was OK. It was not so convincing because his facial expression was very painful. Finally, the young man persuaded the old man to go to the hospital alongside him.

Muchevidence shows teenagers can’t wait to be 18, which is a milestone to all of them. It means they will have a legal right to vote and have a say in something important. However, turning 18 also means the end of their childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It has been approved that there will be more than what they have expected.
Just as Bethany says, she can be mature enough to have a driving license, but her mother worries about her being behind the wheel. Meanwhile, Lin Ning, as an adult,devotes himself to helping his family and has signed an organ donation agreement. For Morgan,instantly becoming an adult is bittersweet. But the consequence is quite different — he keeps his daily routine as before, holds his close bond with his family, saving himself tiresome affairs, but loses his freedom. Besides, he has laid aside his idea of buying his own house to avoid a major commitment of money.
In my opinion, we should obey the rules of adulthood and enjoy the gradual process of growing up.I believe we all can find the most suitable way.
