四. 话题议写
We can learn from the text that many wild animals are in danger of disappearing. Reasons for this are varied. The numbers of some wild animals are decreasing because they don’t have enough food. Others become endangered as a result of too much hunting. There are also animals whose habitat is threatened. Most of these are caused by human activities.
Therefore, something must be done to protect endangered wild animals. For example, more reserves should be set up to provide them a safe place to live. Laws should be passed to protect wild animals and punish illegal hunters. In places where farms are destroyed by wild animals, the government should pay money to the farmers so that they will not kill wild animals to protect their crops or farm animals.
Wild animals help to keep the balance of nature. Only by living in peace with wild animals can we make the whole world colorful. So, let’s try our best to protect them to make our earth an even more beautiful place!
