1 . Do you like animals? And do you know that many animals are becoming fewer and fewer in number now. These animals might disappear from the earth very soon. Take a look at the following animals. They’re all in danger of extinction.

Do you like dolphins? The dolphin is my favorite animal. It has a long body and lives in the sea. It is a kind of friendly animal in the world. Dolphins never attack (攻击) people. Sometimes they save people in danger. They are also very smart, so people teach them to perform (表演) in the shows. Dolphins make people happy.
Unluckily, the number of many animals like dolphins is becoming smaller and smaller. Some of them become endangered animals. Why? First of all, people cut down trees for buildings. It makes some animals lose their homes. Second, farmers use too much pesticide (农药). Third, to make money, some people kill them.
I think we shouldn’t cut down trees. We should plant more trees to save the animals’ homes. And we should establish (建立) some places to protect (保护) them. I believe we will get on well with animals if we do more things for them.
