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.

That’s terrible. What measures are being taken to help them
B: The government has put a strict regulation on whale hunting and the authorities have reduced whale-watching tourism.
I’m worried about the panda. What do you about them
Well, I know that they live only in central China and 99% of their food source is bamboo, which makes it difficult for them to breed.
That’s terrible. What measures are being taken to help them
The authorities have built nature reserves to make sure they have a safe living environment. In addition, relevant policies have been made to prevent them from being hunted. What’s more, captive breeding has greatly improved their situation.

音节是英语当中最小的单位。每个音节含有一个音节核，通常由元音音素构成，辅音是音节的分界线。所以，音节就分成单音节、双音节和多音节。
1. 两辅音之间不管有多少个元音，一般都是一个音节。如：bed，seat，beau'ty
2. 两元音字母之间有一个辅音字母时，辅音字母归后一音节，如：stu'dent，la'bour。
3. 有两个辅音字母时，一个辅音字母归前一音节，一个归后一音节，如：let'ter，win'ter
4. 不能拆分的字母组合按字母组合划分音节。如：fa'ther，tea'cher。
B. 双音节词
1.有 a-, be-, de-, re-, res-, in-, im-, en-, em-, es-, ex-, con-, com-, dis-, mis-, pre-, per-, pro-, trans- 等前缀的词，第二个音节是重音。如： be'lieve, de'cide
2.有 de-, in-, re-, con-, pre- 等前缀的重音与词义和词类有关, 一般名词的重音在第一个音节上，其它的词性在第二个音节上。如：'present pre'sent
一般在第一个音节重读。如：sorry, movie, cover
A.单音节词
hunt shark fin mass
3.有些复合词和带有前缀 re-, ex-, un-, pre-, post-, 等的词，有两个重音。如： out'side, re'tell
C. 多音节词
一般倒数第三个音节是重音。如：'difficult, oppor'tunity, 'family, e'conomy, uni'versity
