called“dodo”.There were many of us and we were friends with all the other animals on the island.One day a new animal came to my island.His name was Man,and at first we seemed to be good friends.We went everywhere together and I shared my food with him.Listening textHowever,I began to wonder why several of my dodo friends had disappeared.Then the number of our species began to decrease quickly.I was so worried that I asked the other animals and they all told me,“Your friends are being killed and eaten by Man while you are hunting for food.”Had Man eaten them?I couldnt believe it!When I asked Man directly,he seemed surprised.“I havent seen the other dodos either.”he said.“Maybe someone else killed them.”I believed him but when more dodos disappeared I set a trap.I went off as if I was going to hunt but instead I hid in the forest and waited.Sure enough Man came along.He ran after the last of my dodo friends and killed her.I felt so angry that I rushed out of my hiding place and straight at Mans spear.He killed me too.After that there were no more dodos in the world.So my motto is:be careful who you trust.渡渡鸟渡渡鸟是一种不会飞的鸟是一种不会飞的鸟,仅产于非洲的岛国仅产于非洲的岛国毛里求斯。肥大的体型总是使它步履蹒跚毛里求斯。肥大的体型总是使它步履蹒跚,再加上再加上一张大大的嘴巴一张大大的嘴巴,使它的样子显得有些丑陋。幸好使它的样子显得有些丑陋。幸好岛上没有它们的天敌岛上没有它们的天敌,因此因此,它们安逸地在树林中它们安逸地在树林中建窝孵卵建窝孵卵,繁殖后代。繁殖后代。16世纪后期世纪后期,带着来复枪和猎犬的欧洲人来到了带着来复枪和猎犬的欧洲人来到了毛里求斯。不会飞又跑不快的渡渡鸟厄运降临了。毛里求斯。不会飞又跑不快的渡渡鸟厄运降临了。欧洲人来到岛上后欧洲人来到岛上后,渡渡鸟就成了他们主要的食物渡渡鸟就成了他们主要的食物来源。从这以后来源。从这以后,枪打狗咬枪打狗咬,鸟飞蛋打鸟飞蛋打,大量的渡渡大量的渡渡鸟被捕杀。就连幼鸟和蛋也不能幸免。开始时鸟被捕杀。就连幼鸟和蛋也不能幸免。开始时,欧洲人每天可以捕杀到几千只到上万只渡渡鸟欧洲人每天可以捕杀到几千只到上万只渡渡鸟,可是由于过度的捕杀可是由于过度的捕杀,很快他们每天捕杀的数量很快他们每天捕杀的数量越来越少越来越少,有时每天只能打到几只了。有时每天只能打到几只了。1681年年,最后一只渡渡鸟被残忍的杀害了最后一只渡渡鸟被残忍的杀害了,从此从此,地球上再也见不到渡渡鸟了地球上再也见不到渡渡鸟了,除非是在博物馆的除非是在博物馆的标本室和画家的图画中。标本室和画家的图画中。Speaking

something to help dodo,for it was so lovely.I mean to drive it away in order to hide it in a cave.And I will dig a hole at the gate of the cave to trap man as he kills a dodo.I feel like attacking man myself if they would do harm to dodo.SampleAnd Id like to teach man how to be friends.I would rather not tell you what I think of man.In fact man is the most dangerous enemy of dodo and all the endangered animals.S2:I cant agree with you more.Man hunts all kinds of animals to make clothing,to eat their meat and even to get their bones cruelly.Id like to see we humans treat them as our friends.Write a letter to WWF based on what you have discussed,asking them to help you save your endangered animal.All letters have a start and ending.WritingFormalInformalStarts DearHi,My

2:Begin your letter like this:Dear WWF,Step 3:Finish the letter by writing:Yours sincerely.(your name)Step 4:Check your writing and share your ideas with the class by reading them aloud.Dear WWF,My friend,Chen Lin,and I have been doing some research on endangered animals.We found that the habitat of polar bears is disappearing because the ice at the North Pole is getting warmer.Sample writing:I worry that when is disappears altogether,there will be nowhere for the polar bears to live.First,I suggest we are very careful with the energy we use.Global warming happens because we are putting too much carbon dioxide into the air.One of the ways we do this is by driving everywhere by car.So I suggest we think carefully before using our cars unnecessarily.Second,instead of using our cars we should think about traveling by bus or by train.These forms of transport are more environmentally friendly and do not put so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.Third,we can join WWF which is fighting to save the habitat of the polar bear.We can raise money to help them by making and selling cakes,selling crafts or giving talent shows and charging money for our parents to watch.I hope you will support us in our fight to save the home of the Polar Bears.Yours sincerelyWu Xiao XingWe have only ONE earth!Homework1.Finish exercises in Workbook.2.Read the passage of“animal extinction”for
