Careful reading
The crime took place in a seaside suburb of Cape Town. Spotting the car with its window left open, the greedy thief didn't hesitate. Within seconds, he had reached
inside and run away with a bag of shopping. No matter how many crimes he committed, the police were powerless to arrest him.
Personification
To attract the readers' attention
Reasons for migration
1 Urban development and climate
change push the animals out of
their natural habitats
2 Wherever they go, animals find towns and cities in their way. With nowhere else to make their homes, they have no choice but to move in with us.
Wild animals were there first.
Huamns are newcomers. It's we humans that make them homeless.
Benefits of cities for animals
1 Appealing spaces as habitats.
2.Out of reach from many of their natural predators, these newcomers often flourish in their new city lives.
3. Hungry animals are finding plenty to eat in our gardens and in the leftovers we throw away.
Animals’ adaption to cities
1 Urban animals are more intelligent than their wild cousins.
2. Some animals have even changed their living habits to fit in with their new homes.
1.Some birds crash into windows because they are unable
to distinguish between blue sky and glass.
2. Some birds have yet to change their migratory routes
that take them through cities with high-rise buildings.
3.Some dangers from humans` activities.
Dangers for some animals
conclusion
We should learn to better understand and appreciate our wild neighbours, and look towards harmoniously sharing our urban habitats.
Think about what we can do to achieve a balance between urban development and wild animals.
1. Come straight to the point.
2. Put the topic sentence at the beginning or end of the paragraph.
3. Use some connection words, such as
“what's more...” to make your writing coherent(连贯的)
4. Add some evidence such as examples, data and documents to make your opinions more believable and stronger.
Post reading
However, how can we humans live in harmony with them
First and foremost, nature reserves must be set up to preserve the natural habitats of wild animals. Second, we should make efforts to protect the animals immigrating to the cities, such as providing food and shelters for them.
What' s more, the government is supposed to take measures to prevent the animals from being trapped or killed, especially some endangered species.
In conclusion, It is crucial to keep the ecosystem balanced and give the animals greener and safer space.
