________Let's Save the Elephants
________Elephants Are Good Pets
√
Hello. We are students from Thailand, and we want to save the elephants. ① The elephant is one of Thailand's symbols. ② Our first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good luck.
Elephants are smart animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very well. People say that “an elephant never forgets”. ③
大象是泰国文化的核心元素,它们是力量(strength) 和优雅(elegance) 的象征。了解外国文化,学会尊重文化差异。
Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost. ④ They can also remember places with food and water. ⑤ This helps them to live.
But elephants are in great danger. ⑥ People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes. ⑦ People also kill elephants for their ivory.
Today there are only about 3, 000 elephants (over 100, 000 before). ⑧ We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. ⑨ Remember that March 13th is Thai Elephant Day.
动物是人类的亲密朋友,我们应该和动物和平相处,保护、拯救濒危的动物。
