Production
Last summer, I went to the City Zoo. There were so many amazing animals to see. I decided to see the pandas first. They seemed to enjoy the bamboo a lot. They ate slowly to taste every bit of it. In the monkey area, I watched the monkeys jump around. Some monkeys climbed up high to get a better view of the zoo. I also saw a zookeeper teach a parrot to say hello. It was a great day at the zoo. I hope to go there again soon.

2. What problems do you think pandas face in the wild
Because pandas are lovely and special. They have black and white fur and round bodies. They are also national treasures of China.
The biggest problem is that people cut down bamboo forests for farming and other reasons, so pandas do not have enough places to live or enough bamboo to eat.

Discussion
1. What do you think of the sentence “where there is Xiwang, there is
hope”
It is a pun. Xiwang means “hope” in English. So Xiwang is not only the name of a giant panda, but also symbolizes the hope for the future of giant pandas. If everyone knows the importance of protecting giant pandas, they will never die out.
Discussion
2. What dangers may animals face in the wild
First, wild animals lose their homes because humans use forests, grasslands and wetlands for farming and other purposes. Also, people kill wild animals for their fur, skin and so on.
Discussion
3. Should we keep wild animals in the zoos to protect them Why or
why not
Version 1: Yes. We should keep wild animals in the zoos because they have
a better chance of surviving there than in the wild. We can protect
them from dying out by providing them with food and a
comfortable home.
Version 2: No. We shouldn’t keep wild animals in the zoos because they
will lose their ability to survive in the wild in the long run. Also,
it’s not good for the balance of nature.
Discussion
Discuss the following question in pairs and take notes if necessary.
We should protect their homes, build more nature reserves, punish illegal hunters and stop buying products made from wild animals.
What can we do to protect wild animals

Sample
Dear humans,
I am a Siberian tiger. I live on the meat of animals such as deer and hares. I am writing to ask for your help to protect the Siberian tigers in the wild.
We are facing a lot of problems. We are losing our living spaces because people take land for their own use. As a result, we don’t have enough food to eat or places to live. Moreover, people hunt us for our fur, bones and other parts of our body because they can sell them for a lot of money.
Writing
The government made laws to protect us, and people are setting up more nature reserves for us to live in. But there are more things you can do. We need more protection of our living spaces.
Without enough living spaces, we could not survive in the wild. Please help us, or we may die out one day.
Thank you for reading my letter.
Yours sincerely,
Leo, a Siberian tiger

Finish Part C on page 72.
Wild animals are in trouble these days. Pollution is a big problem. Factories and cars make the air, water and land dirty, and this makes it hard for wild animals to live. The building of new towns and farms also takes away their homes.
We should show kindness and help wild animals. Protection is important. We can plant more trees and clean up rivers to help wild animals have better living spaces. We also need to learn more about wild animals through education. In this way, we can ensure their happiness and keep the balance of nature.
Thank you!
