Giant Pandas: China’s National Treasure
Giant pandas are China’s national treasure. They live in the mountains of central China, mainly in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. Pandas have black and white fur, round faces and black patches around their eyes. They look cute and friendly.
Pandas mainly feed on bamboo. They can eat up to 18 kilograms of bamboo a day. In the past, pandas were in great danger. People cut down forests, so pandas lost their homes. Some people even hunted them for their fur. The number of wild pandas dropped to less than 1,000.
Now, the Chinese government has taken strong action to protect pandas. Many nature reserves have been built. Hunting pandas is against the law and will be punished. Thanks to these efforts, the number of wild pandas has increased to about 1,864. Pandas are no longer in immediate danger, but they still need our protection.

Saving Asian Elephants
Asian elephants are the largest land animals in Asia. They live in forests and grasslands of Southeast Asia and southern China. They have long trunks, big ears and thick gray skin. Asian elephants are herbivores, eating grass, leaves, fruit and bark. They are smart and gentle animals.
However, Asian elephants are now endangered. The main reasons are hunting and deforestation. Hunters kill them for their ivory, which is very valuable. People cut down forests to make farms and buildings, so elephants lose their homes. Many elephants are forced to move to human areas, causing conflicts with people.
To protect Asian elephants, we need to do several things. First, we should stop buying ivory products. This will reduce the demand for ivory and stop hunting. Second, we should build more nature reserves for elephants to live in. Third, we should educate people about the importance of protecting elephants. Only by working together can we save these wonderful animals.

A Volunteer’s Story: Protecting Red-crowned Cranes
My name is Li Ming. I am a volunteer at a red-crowned crane reserve in northern China. I have been working here for three years. My job is to protect the cranes and their living environment.
Red-crowned cranes are very beautiful. They have white feathers, black necks and red crowns. They mate for life and dance to show their love. But they are in danger. Wetlands are being destroyed, and some people hunt them for their feathers. When I first came here, there were only 20 cranes in the reserve.
Now, things are getting better. We have built fences to protect the wetlands. We also patrol the reserve every day to stop hunters. We provide food for the cranes in winter when food is scarce. Last year, 5 baby cranes were born here. Now the number of cranes has increased to 35.
I feel very proud of my work. Protecting cranes is not easy, but it is meaningful. Every living thing has the right to live. I hope more people will join us to protect these beautiful birds.

Humans and Animals: Live in Harmony
Animals are our friends. They play an important role in keeping the balance of nature. However, many animals are now in danger. Humans are the main reason. We cut down forests, pollute rivers and hunt animals for money. For example, tigers are hunted for their fur and bones; elephants are killed for ivory; many birds lose homes because of deforestation.
If we don’t take action, many species will die out. What can we do to protect animals First, we should make strict laws to stop hunting and deforestation. Second, build more nature reserves for animals to live in. Third, we should not buy products made from endangered animals. Finally, we can tell our friends and family about the importance of animal protection.
Animals have the right to live on Earth. We should respect all living things. Let’s live in harmony with animals and make the world a better place for all.

参考范文
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to tell you about Chinese endangered animals. I’d like to introduce red-crowned cranes. They are beautiful birds with white feathers and red crowns. They live in wetlands in northern China.
Now they are endangered because wetlands are destroyed for farming and some people hunt them. The government has built nature reserves to protect them. Volunteers also help feed and patrol for them.
I invite you to visit the crane reserve in China. You can see these lovely birds up close. Let’s work together to protect them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
