Take notes and find out rhetorical devices the writer uses. The most iconic animal of China by far is the panda. In fact, many people would say that the panda is a symbol of China. These cuddly creatures with their black and white markings almost look more like stuffed toys than real animals. Nearly everyone sees pandas as cute.This feeling is enhanced by the way the animals clumsily move about, which is sometimes humorous and cartoon-like. However, pandas are not toys they are in fact live animals. They live mostly in remote nature reserves in Sichuan, China. Most people dont realise that pandas like all bears are technically carnivores, and long ago perhaps they mostly ate meat. However, while pandas today can and do eat almost anything, their preferred food in their wild forest habitat is bamboo. As this food does not give them much nutrition, they have to eat almost constantly, and unlike most bears they do not hibernate in the winter. Pandas are generally quite shy and are seldom seen by people in the wild.Despite this, they have been known to attack people. While this is a very rare occurrence, it is a useful reminder that pandas are not cuddly toys but are wild animals and should not be approached in the wild. Until recently, pandas were considered endangered. However, with successful breeding and conservation programmes, their numbers have increased, and they are no longer on the endangered species list. Having said that, they are still considered vulnerable, and so more work is needed to protect this magnificent animal.Homework你是李华，你的朋友Jack非常喜欢2022年北京冬奥会的吉祥物冰墩墩（Bing Dwen Dwen)，写信想了解更多关于中国国宝熊猫的信息。请你给他回信，要点包括 1.介绍熊猫的特点2. 熊猫成为冬奥会吉祥物的原因。吉祥物：mascot字数；100词左右，表达至少使用一个修辞手法。3学科网（北京）股份有限公司
