保護動物，人人有責。我們在這個世界上生存需要有動物的陪伴，并且，很多的動物像小狗小貓已經變成很多人的家人。因此，保護動物應該是我們的責任。

　　保護動物 An Appeal for Animal Protection

　　I am a student from Xinhua Middle School in Chongqing，China. Informed that you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals, I cannot resist my inner excitement,hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for animals .

　　我是來自重慶新華中學的一名學生。得知你們有一個空缺給學生充當動物發言人，我抑制不住內心的激動，想要抓住這次機會為動物做些什么。

　　In my mind，nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the heaven, which bring us endless comfort and pleasure. I have been a panda lover since my childhood. Panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are regarded as the treasure of our country. Unfortunately，such a rare species is now faced with the danger of being extinct。What I am eager to do is to raise people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for our earth companies.

　　我認為，沒有什么能夠像關心動物一樣讓我快樂。不管我去到哪里，在做些什么，我會時刻牢記動物是來自天堂的天使，帶給我們無盡的舒適和快樂。我從小開始就是一名熊貓愛好者。熊貓是如此可愛，給人們帶來樂趣，而且它們是我國的國寶。不幸的是，這種稀有物種現在正頻臨滅絕的危險。我想要做的是提高人們保護環境的意識，呼吁更多的人關心我們地球的伴侶。

　　It is my belief that all human beings can make a difference together. I would appreciate it if my application could get your approval.

　　我相信，所有人團結起來就會有很大的不同。如果我的申請 能夠得到大家的贊成，我將不勝感激。

　　Animals Need Protecting

　　Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

　　Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

　　Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

　　動物需要保護

　　動物是自然資源，在整個歷史過程中，人類一直在糟蹋著這種資源。人們殺死動物，獲得它們的皮毛，把它們當作食物或運動方式，或者只是因為它們礙事。成千上萬種動物已經從這個地球上永遠地消失了。現在另外上百種動物也上了瀕危動物名單。僅莢國大概就有170種被認為處于危險當中。

　　為什么人們應該感到擔憂呢?因為我們需要動物，因為它們一旦消失，就永遠不會再出現。動物不僅僅是漂亮或有趣。它們不僅僅是人類的食物來源。在維持自然平衡中，每種動物都有其作用。毀滅某種動物會導致許多問題。比如，農民們如果殺死為數眾多的鷹，他們谷物和糧食的倉庫就會受到老鼠和田鼠的破壞。為什么?因為鷹吃鼠類，沒有鷹控制它們的數量，鼠類就會迅速繁殖。

　　幸運的是，有些人正在努力幫助拯救這些動物。有些組織籌錢以便人們了解這一問題。他們也努力使政府通過保護瀕危動物的法律。很多國家已經通過了法律。這些法律禁止殺害瀕危名單上的動植物。某些瀕危動物的數目正在慢慢地不斷上升。
