DoDo鸟是一种不会飞的鸟，仅产于毛里求斯肥。拥有肥胖的身子和巨大的嘴。
16世纪后期，欧洲殖民者来到了毛里求斯。不会飞又跑不快的DoDo鸟很快成为欧洲人来到岛上后主要的食物来源。人们开始大量的滥捕滥杀可怜的DoDo鸟，有时每天可以捕杀到几千只到上万只。
由于过度的捕杀,很快岛上DoDo鸟便得越来越少。1681年，最后一只DoDo鸟被残忍的杀害后，从此，地球上再也见不到这种东西了，除非是在博物馆的图片中。

The story of the dodo
Once upon a time I lived on the island of Mauritius. I was called “dodo”. There were many of us and we were friends with all the other animals on the island.
Listening text
One day a new animal came to my island. His name was Man, and at first we seemed to be good friends. We went everywhere together and I shared my food with him. However, I began to wonder why several of my dodo friends had disappeared. Then the number of our species began to decrease quickly.
I was so worried that I asked the other animals and they all told me, “Your friends are being killed and eaten by Man while you are hunting for food.” Had Man eaten them I couldn’t believe it! When I asked Man directly, he seemed surprised. “I haven’t seen the other dodos either.” he said. “Maybe someone else killed them.”
I believed him but when more dodos disappeared I set a trap. I went off as if I was going to hunt but instead I hid in the forest and waited. Sure enough Man came along. He ran after the last of my dodo friends and killed her. I felt so angry that I rushed out of my hiding place and straight at Man’s spear.
He killed me too. After that there were no more dodos in the world. So my motto is :be careful who you trust.

Writing
Write a letter to WWF based on what you have discussed, asking them to help you save your endangered animal.
Dear WWF,
My friend, Chen Ting, and I have been doing some research on endangered animals. We found that the habitat of polar bears is disappearing because the ice at the North Pole is getting warmer. I worry that when is disappears altogether, there will be nowhere for the polar bears to live.
Sample letter
First, I suggest we are very careful with the energy we use. Global warming happens because we are putting too much carbon dioxide into the air. One of the ways we do this is by driving everywhere by car. So I suggest we think carefully before using our cars unnecessarily.
Second, instead of using our cars we should think about traveling by bus or by train. These forms of transport are more environmentally friendly and do not put so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Third, we can join WWF which is fighting to save the habitat of the polar bear. We can raise money to help them by making and selling cakes, selling crafts or giving talent shows and charging money for our parents to watch.
I hope you will support us in our fight to save the home of the Polar Bears.
Yours sincerely,
Wu Xiaoxin

rubbish away. Then we began to plan our new design for the area.
First, we made a plan and a drawing to show what the area would be like when it was finished.
Then we asked our parents to make the birdhouses and feeding trays.
We decided that the bird tables should be made of wood because they will need to last a long time outside. The feeding trays should be put on the tables or hung from the braches of the trees so the birds can easily get at them. Also the bird watchers need to see the birds
eating. The nesting boxes should be hung from the trees so the birds can feel safe about their eggs. Bird nests should not be put close to the ground or cats or other animals will be able to take the eggs. The water containers
should be put in the open sir so they can be changed without the birds getting upset or too excited. The observers should be put behind low bushes so they can see the birds but not upset them.
