Each and every animal on earth has as much right to be here as you and me. Humans and sharks are both residents on earth and have the same rights to live on and share the same earth.
Let’s live in harmony with each other and go for a shared co-existence and future.
地球上的每一种动物都和你我一样有权利生活在这里。人类和鲨鱼都是地球上的居民,都有在同一个地球上生存和共享的权利。让我们和谐相处,携手共进,共创未来。

1. How do you think Peter Benchley felt after diving in 1980
Peter Benchley might feel sad for the sharks being killed; he might feel sad regretful for depicting(描写,描绘) the great white shark as a dangerous animal in his book; he might also feel angry about finning.
彼得·本奇利可能会为鲨鱼被杀感到难过;他在书中把大白鲨描绘成危险的动物,也许会感到遗憾;他可能也会对割鳍感到愤怒。
2. What other films or books do you know that feature wild animals Do they “paint” a good or bad picture of these animals Say how the animals are described.
2. What other films or books do you know that feature wild animals
Do they “paint” a good or bad picture of these animals
Say how the animals are described.
Take The Call of the Wild , for example. In Jack London's novel The Call of the Wild, wild animals are described in the novel as good animals, and they are given equal importance to the main characters. Through the behavior and characteristics of animals, the author shows their bravery, wisdom and gratitude. When it comes to the relationship between humans and animals: 1. Embodies the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals. 2. It embodies the author's idea of equality between humans and animals. In The Call of the Wild, the author expresses respect and care for animals through vivid description and deep thinking, and criticizes the anthropocentrism and the destruction of nature.
就拿《野性的呼唤》为例吧。在杰克·伦敦的小说《野性的呼唤》中,野生动物在小说中被描述为好的动物,它们与主要人物处于同等重要的地位。作者通过动物的行为和特性,展示了它们的勇敢、智慧和感恩之心。说到人类与动物的关系 :1.体现了人与动物之间的和谐相处。2.体现了作者倡导的人与动物平等的观点。在《野性的呼唤》中,作者通过生动的描写和深入的思考,表达了对动物尊重和关爱的同时,也对人类中心主义和对自然的破坏行为提出了批判。
Thinking Time
According to this passage, we have learned that due to people's hunting, sharks are in danger of extinction.
Animals are our good friends. Without them we couldn't keep the balance of nature. So we should raise the awareness of protecting animals.
根据这篇文章,我们了解到由于人类的捕猎,鲨鱼有灭绝的危险。
动物是我们的好朋友。没有它们,我们就不能保持自然的平衡。所以我们应该提高保护动物的意识。

1. Do you think it is right to totally believe what a film tells us How should we learn about unknown species
