【推荐1】Nowadays, many wild animals around the world are in danger. Some kinds of them are dying out at an alarming rate (以惊人的速度). Around 200 species (物种) disappear every day. To make us aware of the serious problem and help save the animals in danger before it’s too late, our English teacher shared two posters with us.

We are losing home! Like many other animals, we live in the trees. However, billions of trees are being cut down every year to make paper for humans. In this way, a lot of animals’ homes are being destroyed! Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper?

Elephants mostly live on the plain of   Africa and in the forests of Asia. But today, they are facing a serious problem: large numbers are being killed for meat and skin, especially for ivory (象牙). They are in danger! Only when we stop buying elephant products can we stop the killing and save them. Let’s say NO to sale!

【推荐2】Frank is a student. He likes playing with his phone very much. And he keeps the phone with him all the time. His dad thinks he is addicted to his phone. But Frank doesn’t think so.They write to each other.

Dear Frank, It’s reported that fifty percent of the teenagers depend on their phones too much. I think you have this problem too. That’s why I think you should give up your phone. Not forever, just for a week. You are developing some bad habits. You keep your phone with you all the time—you even check the basketball scores at the dinner table. It’s also not a good idea to use your phone while you are doing homework. You can’t put your heart into your homework at all. There are many good reasons to take a break from your phone. Have a try! Love, Dad

Dear Dad, I know you think I depend on my phone too much. But I’m just using technology to help my life to be better. My phone helps me in many ways. Do you remember that time when the car broke down. I sent a message to tell you that I was fine. If I didn’t，you would be worried about me. My phone helps me with my homework too. I can look up anything quickly. It’s really hard to be successful today if you don't have a phone. Social media,games,and apps might seem foolish to you，but they help me to keep in touch with（联系）my friends. I promise(承诺）I won’t use it at the dinner table anymore. But giving it up for a week will be a mistake and it won’t change anything in the long term. Love, Frank
