Dear Editor(编辑)，

I live in a beautiful city. Every year many visitors come to my city. There are many colorful peacocks(孔雀)here.

Most peacocks live on the grassland of the People’s Square(人民广场).The visitors usually throw food to them, and sometimes they throw some bad food. So some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food.

I’m sure most of the visitors really like the birds, but they don’t realize(意识到)that they may be doing them harm(伤害).So we must do something to help them. Maybe we can build some small shops beside the People’s Square to sell peacock food.

For us it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.

Yours,

Ai Xin

Dear editor (编辑) ，
I live in a beautiful city . Many visitors come to my city . Because there are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here .The peacocks mainly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square.
Visitors often give them food freely . They usually throw food to them , and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not . Some of the peacocks became ill , some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors.
I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds , but don’t realize (意识到) that they may be doing them harm (伤害). The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening .
Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food . For us every person , it’s our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
Yours,
Sun Yan
