Task VII: Speaking and Writing.
WWF 约稿: 随着克隆技术的发展,科学家可以克隆绝种一万年以内的动物。请从P16 图表中选择其中一种,说明它的特征和复活它的理由。
内容要点:
1.动物名称和基本情况
2. 陈述理由
注意: 补充必要细节 以使文章连贯

Writing Pattern :
Aurochs, large wild European cattle , which died out
in 1627, are worth restoring. Here are the reasons.

Aurochs have two long horns and thick hair. Their
horns can be used for decoration, which can make
homes beautiful. Besides, their hair is so long that it
can be used to make clothes. The most important
thing is that they can be raised in the galssland
eaily to help herdsmen make money.

So I think the aurochs are the best choice to bring
back to life for decoration, clothes and wealth.
