　　With the development of society, there are more and more problems brought to our attention, one of which is that wild animals have no place to survive in the 21st century．Some people think that the protection is a waste of resource．From my point of view, I disagree with this statement for some reasons below．

　　Firstly, the animals and human beings are creatures living in nature．Although as darwin said, “Survival is the fittest．” We are human beings who have thought．We can’t behave like barbarians and destroy the environment where animals live．We need places to survive and so do animals．Therefore, we ought to give them a wonderful and natural place to survive．

　　Secondly, there are a lot of species of animals on earth．They are just like our neighbors．For example, in my childhood, I went to my grandparents’ home in the countryside every weekenD．Not far away from the house, there is a forest．Sometimes, I go there with my cousins and brothers．We met a lot of little wild animals there such as monkeys, snakes, rabbits．

　　However, there are a lot of people who may agree and have their own opinions concerning this case．From my angle, we, human beings, can’t deprive the survival rights of animals．On the contrary, we have to protect them from extinction．Just imagine how horrible the world would be if human is the only creature in the world．Hence, the government should educate people to ?preserve? and protect our neighbor, natural wild animals．

Questions：

1．Why are the animals endangered?

2．do you know of any other endangered animals?

3．Can we help them?

4．How to help them?(Or what can we do to help them?)

　　With the development of society, there are more and more problems brought to our attention, one of which is that wild animals have no place to survive in the 21st century．Some people think that the protection is a waste of resource．From my point of view, I disagree with this statement for some reasons below．

　　Firstly, the animals and human beings are creatures created by God．Although as Darwin said, “Survival is the fittest．” we are human beings who have thought．We can’t behave like barbarians(野蛮人)and destroy the environment where animals live．We need places to survive and so do animals．Therefore, we ought to give them a wonderful and natural place to live in．

　　Secondly, there are a lot of species of animals on the earth．They are just like our neighbors．For example, in my childhood, I went to my grandparents’ home in the countryside every weekend．Not far away from the house, there was a forest．Sometimes, I went there with my cousins and brothers．We met a lot of little wild animals there such as, monkeys, snakes and rabbits．

　　However, there are a lot of people who have their own opinions concerning this case．From my angle(角度),we, human beings, can’t deprive(剥夺)animals of the survival rights．On the contrary, we have to protect them from extinction(绝灭)．Just imagine how horrible the world would be if human is the only creature in the world．Hence(因此),the government should educate people to preserve and protect our neighbors, natural wild animals．
