Wild animals are in danger!

√
A: Have you seen that poster with the clock It's so good, but a little scary, too.
B: I know. So many wild animals are dying out. This poster says that between 150 and 200 species die out every day.
A: That' s terrible. We really need to do something. Why are so many species dying
B: Well, some animals are being hunted and killed. And then there’s pollution and habitat loss, I guess. Animals need a place to live in, just like us, and they need clean air and water, too.
A: It seems like people need to be more aware.
B: Absolutely. More people need to know.
A: Yes, they should make more of these posters—maybe it will help protect the wildlife.

Listening text 2
Someone has to speak up for endangered animals. Some famous people, such as Chinese superstar Yao Ming and Britain’s Prince William, work hard to help. In October 2015, Prince William gave a moving speech on CCTV: “In the 33 years since I was born, we’ve lost around 70 percent of Africa’s elephant population. Of those that are left, 20, 000 are killed every year. That is 54 elephants killed every single day.” That means there are elephants which are being killed right now!
In his speech, Prince William also praised China’s efforts to protect wildlife: “ I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife.” You don’t have to be Prince William or Yao Ming to speak up and do something about endangered animals. You can be the voice of wildlife protection in your area. Remember: Change begins with you!
Discuss the questions: What does “Change begins with you” mean
If we want things to change, we must change ourselves first and not wait for others to change first. We must be the change we want to see in the world.
Discuss the questions, and then talk about one of the animals in the photos below.
Panda

Possible version:
A: I’m concerned about the blue whales. What do you know about them
B: Well, I know that they’re being hunted and their number is getting dramatically smaller, so they’re in danger of extinction. Blue whales need large and clear water habitats, so it’s difficult for them to adapt to the changes.
