Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to express my concern about the wild animals and give some suggestions on how to protect them.
现在很多野生动物濒临灭绝,这使得保护野生动物变得越来越紧急。在我看来,是时候采取有效及时有效的措施解决这一问题了。
首先,我们必须制订和完善相关法律保护濒危野生动物,而且无论谁猎杀野生动物都应该被严惩。此外,我们应该多种树,保护好它们的栖息地。最后,我们应该提高公众保护野生动物的意识,号召更多的人参与到保护野生动物的行动中来。只有这样,我们才能同动物和谐相处(be in harmony with),让世界变得更加美好。
Nowadays, many wild animals are endangered, which makes it urgent for us to do something to protect them. As far as I am concerned, it’s high time that we took immediate and effective measures to solve this.
First of all, we must make and improve related laws to protect these endangered wild animals and get tough with those who hunts wild animals. In addition, we are supposed to plant more trees and protect their natural habitats. Last but not the least, we should raise public awareness of protecting the wild animals and call on more people to participate in it. Only in this way can we live in harmony with animals and make the world a better place.
1. Learn something more about endangered animals and what we can do for protecting them.
