There we put up our tents and made a fire to keep us warm and cook food on. On the first night, we just sat under the moon and told each other stories. But I was so tired that I went to sleep early.The next morning, my sister and I got terrible surprise. When we looked out of our tent, we saw a big snake sleeping near the fire. I was so scared that I couldn’t move. We shouted to our parents to let them know about the danger. My dad started to jump up and down in their tent. This woke the snake up and it moved into the fores t near the lake. My dad told me later that snakes don’t have ears but can feel things moving. He also told me it was important not to go near a snake. This was a very useful lesson for me.。

七下unit1课文

七下unit1课文English response:I remember reading the text in Unit 1 of the seventh grade. It was about a girl named Lily who had a special talent for playing the piano. She practiced every day and eventually won a music competition. This story reminded me of my own experience learning to play the guitar. When I was younger, I used to spend hours practicing chords and scales. It was tough at first, but I didn't give up. Just like Lily, I worked hard and eventually got better.I can relate to Lily's determination and passion for music. It's important to have a goal and work towards it, even when things get tough. For example, there was a time when I struggled to play a difficult song on the guitar. Instead of giving up, I kept practicing until I could play it perfectly. This taught me the value of perseverance and hard work.中文回答：我记得在七年级的第一单元中阅读了这篇文章。

初一下册英语第十一单元课文以保护环境和动物为主题，提醒我们地球上的资源正在减少，动物面临生存威胁。

因此，提高环保意识变得尤为重要。

保护环境是每个人的责任。

我们应该意识到，我们的一举一动都会影响到
地球的生态环境。

在日常生活中，我们可以从节约用水、节约用电、减少垃圾产生等小事做起，提高环保意识，为地球做出贡献。

为了保护动物，我们国家采取了一系列措施，如建立自然保护区，保护濒危动物。

自然保护区不仅为濒危动物提供了生存空间，还起到了保护生态平衡的作用。

此外，我们国家还加强了法律法规，禁止非法捕猎和贩卖动物，从源头上遏制对动物的伤害。

绿色生活也是保护环境和动物的重要途径。

我们应当尽量减少对资源的浪费，选择环保的产品，减少对环境的污染。

例如，使用可降解的塑料制品，购买节能电器等。

总之，保护环境和动物，实现可持续发展是每个人的责任。

让我们从现在开始，从自己做起，为地球的未来尽一份力。
