Some animals make changes to live in winter, like snowshoe rabbits in America. In summer, the
rabbits ’ fur(毛) is brown. But they grow new white fur in winter. The new fur keeps them safe (安全的) in snow. In fall, they eat to get fat (脂肪), because the fat can also help them keep warm in winter.

The situation of the endangered animals is a growing worry for the world. One such animal that is in danger is pandas. This black and white animal is the favourite of many people all over the world.
However, there are fewer than 2, 000 in the wild now.
The primary reason for the population of pandas getting smaller is the loss of their natural homes. With the increase (增加) of population, people use more and more pandas ’ natural homes. This has
resulted in the breaking up of the pandas ’ homes. Another important danger to pandas is hunting. Some people continue to hunt them for their body parts.
To protect pandas, it is important to take action quickly. The Government and protection groups must work together to protect the few homes of pandas. The Government should also make stricter rules to stop hunting. As for us, we can also do something to help protect pandas. For example, we can help protect
pandas by joining groups to keep them safe.
All in all, pandas are in danger now, so we should try our best to keep this kind of beautiful animal thriving in the wild. I hope that we can see more and more pandas in the future.

The Golden Monkey
Hello! My name is Li Ming. The Golden Monkey is a kind of special animal in China. Let me tell you something about it.
The Golden Monkeys are usually black or yellow, and they live in the south of China. Besides, they live in groups and live on leaves and fruit. However, they are in danger because of the hunting of human beings. What’s worse, people cut down so many trees that their home becomes smaller and smaller.
In my opinion, we should protect the Golden Monkey. First of all, people shouldn’t cut down too many trees any more. Also, it is necessary that everyone should treat them as friends and protect them.
