I think their living condition(环境) is terrible in China. I am writing to you to suggest 2 we should do to help protect animals more.I feel so sorry for the giant panda. It’s one of the 3 popular animals in the world and a symbol of China.We’ve learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop people from destroying (毁坏) their forests.4 animal we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligator(扬子鳄) . They live in some areas of eastern China, and now the water there isn’t5 for them to live in. The government should stop factories6 polluting the lakes and rivers.7 we protect these beautiful animals in China, more people may wish to visit China to see them, they could be an important tourist attraction. It would be good if more people came to visit our beautiful country 8 some quieter places in the country.I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.YourssincerelyLiYing1 animals2 what3 most4 Another5 enough6 from7 If8 eapecially Passage EightI’m Eric.
