The writer says that we must change our way of life and learn to live in harmony with nature in order to save our planet. Do you agree? What do you think we should do or change?
? I agree that we must try and live in harmony with nature in order to save our planet.
? I think what we must do is to realise that we are part of nature and not separate from it. We can't survive without it and so when we damage it, we literally damage ourselves. Therefore, I think education is very important to change how we relate to nature.
As we know, so many wild animals and plants are dying out every day. Someone has to speak up for ____________________ (濒临野生生物). I’d like to do that.
Their lives _______________________ (正遭受威胁). Time is ticking way and more animals are dying out. Some __________________ (有效的措施) must therefore be taken immediatly. The most important thing for the authorities is to ________________________________________________________ (建造给多的自然保护区). Besides, it is high time to stop the people who ___________________ (非法捕猎).
