LISTENING PART 1
A: Have you seen that poster with the clock It’s so good, but a little scary, too.
B: I know. So many wild animals are dying out. This poster says that between 150 and 200 species die out every day.
A: That’ s terrible. We really need to do something. Why are so many species dying
B: Well, some animals are being hunted and killed. And then there’s pollution and habitat loss, I guess. Animals need a place to live in, just like us, and they need clean air and water, too.
A: It seems like people need to be more aware.
B: Absolutely. More people need to know.
A: Yes, they should make more of these poster. Maybe it will help protect the wildlife.

In October 2015, I delivered a moving speech about endangered species on CCTV.
Prince William
1. How many elephants are killed every day
A. 70 B. 20000 C. 54
2. What did Prince William say about China
A. China has made a lot of progress.
B. China can become a global leader in wildlife protection.
C. China preserves its natural habitats well.
3. What is said at the very end What does it mean to you
What does “Change begins with you” mean
It means that if we want things to change, we must change ourselves first and not wait for others to change first. We must be the change we want to see in the world.
Someone has to speak up for endangered animals. Some famous people, such as Chinese superstar Yao Ming and Britain’s Prince William, work hard to help. In October 2015, Prince William gave a moving speech on CCTV: "In the 33 years since I was born, we’ve lost around 70 percent of Africa’s elephant population. Of those that are left, 20,000 are killed every year. That is 54 elephants killed every single day. " That means there are elephants which are being killed right now!
In his speech, Prince William also praised China’s efforts to protect wildlife: "I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife. You don’t have to be Prince William or Yao Ming to speak up and do something about endangered animals. You can be the voice of wildlife protection in your area.
Remember: Change begins with you.

Dear Mayor Johnson,
I am writing to urge you to prioritize wildlife conservation efforts in our community. As residents of this area, we are fortunate to be surrounded by diverse ecosystems and wildlife habitats that are home to a variety of species. However, rapid urbanization and habitat destruction pose significant threats to our local wildlife populations.
By implementing policies to protect and preserve natural habitats, we can ensure the continued existence of native species such as the red-tailed hawk and the western pond turtle. Conservation initiatives, such as creating wildlife corridors and establishing protected areas, are crucial for maintaining biodiversity and promoting ecological balance.
As a concerned citizen, I urge you to take action to address these pressing conservation issues. By investing in wildlife conservation, we can not only protect our natural heritage but also enhance the quality of life for current and future generations.
Sincerely,
Your Name

EXAMPLE WRITING 2
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my support for wildlife conservation efforts in our community. Wildlife plays a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and providing essential services such as pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control. However, habitat loss, poaching, and climate change threaten many species with extinction.
It is imperative that we take immediate action to protect and preserve our natural heritage. By implementing sustainable land use practices, promoting responsible tourism, and supporting conservation initiatives, we can safeguard vulnerable species and their habitats for future generations to enjoy.
I urge you to prioritize wildlife conservation in our community and allocate resources to support these important efforts. Together, we can make a positive impact on the preservation of biodiversity and the health of our planet.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
