Hello, We are students from Thailand, and we want to save the elephants. The elephant is one of Thailand’s symbols. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good luck.
Elephants are smart animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very well. People say that “an elephant never forgets”. Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost. They can also remember places with food and water. This helps them to live.
But elephants are in great danger. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before) We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. Remember that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day.

参考范文
1. The elephant is one of Thailand’s symbols.
one of 的意思是“……之一”,它后面的名词是复数形式。
one of…短语作主语时谓语动词是单数。
e.g. One of my classmates is often late for class.
我的一个同学经常迟到。
The Yellow River is one of the longest rivers in the world.
黄河是世界上最长的河流之一。
Language Points
2. People say that “an elephant never forgets”.
大象拥有人类都难以比及的记忆力,因此,英语里有have a memory like
an elephant(具有大象一样的记忆力) 这一习语,用于形容人的记忆力
很好。此外,借用动物来形容人的习语还有不少,如:
1. drink like a fish 特别能喝酒;见酒不要命
2. eat like a horse 特别能吃;胃口大
3. fight like cats and dogs 争吵不休
4. (be) like a cat on hot bricks 如坐针毡;浑身不自在
5. (be) like a bull in a china shop 非常鲁莽;笨手笨脚
Language Points
3. Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost.
lost作形容词,意思是“走失的;迷路的;失散的;丢失的;遗失的”,常常与
系动词get或be一起构成短语。表示“丢失;走失;迷路”。
e.g. What bad luck! My keys are lost again.
真是倒霉!我的钥匙又丢失了。
The boy got lost in that supermarket and he had to ask the police for help.
男孩在那家超市迷了路,不得不找警察帮忙。
Language Points
【拓展】　
lost 还可以用于名词之前,作定语修饰名词。
a lost child 走丢的孩子
a lost watch 被人遗失的手表
the lost tourists 迷了路的游客们
Language Points
4. But elephants are in great danger.
(be) in danger 表示“面临危险,在危急中”。在英语中,常用big, great
与danger搭配,表示“巨大的危险”。(be)out of danger表示“脱险,脱
离危险”。
e.g. Firefighters are often in great danger.
消防员经常处于很危险的境地。
The doctor says he is now out of danger.
大夫说他现在脱离了危险。
Language Points
5. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before).
3,000读作three thousand
100,000读作one hundred thousand
英语中没有“万”这一级数位,只有“千”。因此“一万”就是
“十千”,“十万”就是“一百千”。
Language Points
6. We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory.
made of…表示“由……制作(制造)” 。
e.g. made of wood 由木头制成
made of glass 由玻璃制作
当made of用作定语限定名词时,必须放在该名词之后。
e.g. a boat made of paper 一只纸船
things made of bamboo 竹制品,竹子做的东西
