三、写作清单
Writing a short paragraph about dodos
(一)话题分析
本单元要求写一篇关于渡渡鸟的短文。通过描述渡渡鸟,让大家了解这种已经灭绝的动物,同时引发对保护动物的思考。在写作中,需要介绍渡渡鸟的相关经历,运用阅读文章中的词汇和表达,并且给出自己对保护动物的看法。
(二)写作内容
渡渡鸟的基本信息,如生活地点等。如:The dodo was a flightless bird endemic to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.(渡渡鸟是印度洋毛里求斯岛上特有的不会飞行的鸟类。)
渡渡鸟曾经的生活状态。如:Before human arrival, dodos lived in a predator - free environment, foraging for fruits and nuts leisurely.(在人类到来之前,渡渡鸟生活在没有捕食者的环境中,悠闲地觅食水果和坚果。)
人类的行为对渡渡鸟产生的影响。如:With the colonization of Mauritius by humans in the 17th century, dodos faced overhunting for food, and the introduction of invasive species like pigs, monkeys, and rats destroyed their nests and eggs.(17 世纪人类殖民毛里求斯后,渡渡鸟因作为食物遭到过度捕猎,而猪、猴子和老鼠等入侵物种的引入破坏了它们的巢穴和鸟蛋。)
渡渡鸟最后的结局。如:Sadly, the last known dodo was seen in the late 1600s, and by the early 1700s, the species was officially declared extinct.(遗憾的是,最后一只已知的渡渡鸟出现在 17 世纪末,到 18 世纪初,该物种正式宣告灭绝。)
从渡渡鸟的故事中得出对保护动物的感悟。如:The extinction of the dodo serves as a stark reminder that human actions can have irreversible consequences. We must learn from history and take immediate steps to protect endangered species, because once a species is gone, it's gone forever.(渡渡鸟的灭绝是一个严厉的警示,人类的行为会造成不可逆转的后果。我们必须以史为鉴,立即采取措施保护濒危物种,因为一个物种一旦消失,就永远消失了。)
(三)写作要点
准确运用一般过去时来描述渡渡鸟过去的情况,细致描绘它们在毛里求斯岛独特生态环境中的生活习性、外貌特征等。比如可以描述渡渡鸟庞大的体型,无法飞行的翅膀,以及在林间觅食、栖息的场景,让读者对这种已灭绝生物曾经的存在有生动认知。
清晰阐述渡渡鸟灭绝的原因,从人类活动和生态变化两方面展开。一方面,讲述 17 世纪欧洲殖民者登陆毛里求斯后,大肆捕杀渡渡鸟作为食物;另一方面,分析殖民者引入的猪、狗、猴子等外来物种对渡渡鸟栖息地的破坏,以及它们偷吃渡渡鸟的蛋,导致其繁殖受阻,最终走向灭绝。
合理表达自己对于保护动物的观点,结合渡渡鸟灭绝的悲剧,强调保护生物多样性的重要性。指出每个物种在生态系统中都有独特的地位和作用,渡渡鸟的灭绝不仅是一个物种的消失,更可能引发连锁反应,影响整个生态平衡。呼吁人们增强保护意识,减少对野生动物栖息地的破坏,抵制非法捕猎,共同守护地球上的每一个生命。
(四)写作思路
开头可以以一种有趣的方式引出渡渡鸟,比如提到它在《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中出现,然后转折说明现实中它曾经真实存在但现已灭绝。如:For example, "In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Dodo is a quirky and memorable character. However, few people realize that this seemingly fantastical bird was once a real species that roamed the earth, but unfortunately, it has gone extinct."
中间部分详细描述渡渡鸟生活的地方、它们原本平静安全的生活,以及人类到来后对它们的影响,如砍伐树木、猎杀它们、动物吃它们的蛋等,导致它们灭绝。如:For instance, "Dodos lived on the island of Mauritius. Before the arrival of humans, they led a peaceful life without natural predators. As the saying goes, 'The arrival of humans changed everything.' People cut down trees, hunted dodos for food, and introduced animals like pigs and monkeys, which ate dodo eggs. These actions eventually led to the extinction of this unique species."
结尾呼吁大家保护动物,从渡渡鸟的灭绝中吸取教训。如:For example, "The extinction of the Dodo serves as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting wildlife. As the famous conservationist Jane Goodall once said, 'What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.' Let's learn from the tragic story of the Dodo and take action to protect our planet's precious biodiversity."
(五)写作步骤
第一步:引出渡渡鸟:用 “You may think I’m just a character in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Actually, there used to be thousands of us – for real. But now you can only see us in museums.” 这样的句子引出渡渡鸟,引起读者兴趣。
第二步:描述渡渡鸟的生活:介绍它们生活在印度洋的一个岛上, “We lived on an island in the Indian Ocean.”,那里有充足的食物, “There was plenty of food to eat.”,其他动物也很友好,它们过着平静安全的生活, “All the other animals were friendly. What a peaceful and safe life!”。
第三步:阐述人类的影响及渡渡鸟的结局:说明 1598 年人类到来, “However, in 1598, humans arrived.”,人类砍伐树木, “They cut down the trees.”,猎杀渡渡鸟, “They hunted us.”,他们的猪、猫和狗吃渡渡鸟的蛋, “Their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs.”,最终渡渡鸟灭绝, “As a result, we soon died out.”。
第四步:表达对保护动物的看法:在结尾写道 “The world is full of fantastic animals. Please try your best to help them. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo.”,呼吁大家保护动物。
(六)词汇运用
描述生活环境:island(岛屿),Indian Ocean(印度洋),plenty of(大量的),food(食物),friendly(友好的),tropical climate(热带气候),lush vegetation(繁茂植被),habitat(栖息地),serene(宁静的),undisturbed(未受干扰的),abundant resources(丰富资源),paradisiacal(天堂般的)。
描述人类行为:arrive(到达),cut down(砍伐),hunt(猎杀),eat(吃),invade(入侵),colonize(殖民),deforestation(森林砍伐),exploit(开发),overhunt(过度猎杀),devastate(破坏),eradicate(根除)。
描述结果:die out(灭绝),extinction(灭绝),vanish(消失),disappear(消失),wipe out(消灭),become extinct(变得灭绝),cease to exist(不复存在),doomed to oblivion(注定被遗忘)。
(七)句型运用
表示过去存在:There used to be...;Once upon a time, there existed...;In the past, ... could be found everywhere
描述过去的生活:We lived... There was... All the other animals were...;Life was... and the environment was...;Back then, ... roamed freely and... thrived
表示原因:because(因为),What’s more(而且);Due to...;Owing to...;As a consequence of...;Furthermore...;Moreover...
表示结果:As a result(结果);Consequently...;Therefore...;Thus...;Hence...;As a consequence...
呼吁:Please try your best to...;Let's join hands to...;It's high time we took action to...;We must make every effort to...;I urge you to...
(八)范例作文
Are you looking at me? You may think I’m just a character in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Actually, there used to be thousands of us – for real. But now you can only see us in museums.
We lived on an island in the Indian Ocean. In the happy old days, there was plenty of food to eat. All the other animals were friendly. What a peaceful and safe life!
However, in 1598, humans arrived. They cut down the trees and our lovely forest was gone. They hunted us because we were slow and couldn’t fly. What’s more, their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs. As a result, we soon died out.
So today we are standing in museums around the world. When you see us, please remember our sad story. The world is full of fantastic animals. Please try your best to help them. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo.
译文:
你在看我吗?你也许认为我只是《爱丽丝梦游仙境》里的一个角色。实际上,曾经有成千上万只我们 —— 真的。但现在你只能在博物馆里看到我们。
我们生活在印度洋的一个岛上。在过去那些快乐的日子里,有充足的食物可吃。所有其他的动物都很友好。多么平静而安全的生活啊!
然而,在 1598 年,人类来了。他们砍伐树木,我们可爱的森林消失了。他们猎杀我们,因为我们行动缓慢且不会飞。而且,他们的猪、猫和狗吃我们的蛋。结果,我们很快就灭绝了。
所以如今我们矗立在世界各地的博物馆里。当你看到我们时,请记住我们悲伤的故事。世界上充满了奇妙的动物。请尽你最大的努力去帮助它们。让它们像蛤蜊一样快乐,而不是像渡渡鸟一样灭绝。

三、写作清单
Writing a short paragraph about dodos
(一)话题分析
本单元要求写一篇关于渡渡鸟的短文。通过描述渡渡鸟,让大家了解这种已经灭绝的动物,同时引发对保护动物的思考。在写作中,需要介绍渡渡鸟的相关经历,运用阅读文章中的词汇和表达,并且给出自己对保护动物的看法。
(二)写作内容
渡渡鸟的基本信息,如生活地点等。如:The dodo was a flightless bird endemic to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.(渡渡鸟是印度洋毛里求斯岛上特有的不会飞行的鸟类。)
渡渡鸟曾经的生活状态。如:Before human arrival, dodos lived in a predator - free environment, foraging for fruits and nuts leisurely.(在人类到来之前,渡渡鸟生活在没有捕食者的环境中,悠闲地觅食水果和坚果。)
人类的行为对渡渡鸟产生的影响。如:With the colonization of Mauritius by humans in the 17th century, dodos faced overhunting for food, and the introduction of invasive species like pigs, monkeys, and rats destroyed their nests and eggs.(17 世纪人类殖民毛里求斯后,渡渡鸟因作为食物遭到过度捕猎,而猪、猴子和老鼠等入侵物种的引入破坏了它们的巢穴和鸟蛋。)
渡渡鸟最后的结局。如:Sadly, the last known dodo was seen in the late 1600s, and by the early 1700s, the species was officially declared extinct.(遗憾的是,最后一只已知的渡渡鸟出现在 17 世纪末,到 18 世纪初,该物种正式宣告灭绝。)
从渡渡鸟的故事中得出对保护动物的感悟。如:The extinction of the dodo serves as a stark reminder that human actions can have irreversible consequences. We must learn from history and take immediate steps to protect endangered species, because once a species is gone, it's gone forever.(渡渡鸟的灭绝是一个严厉的警示,人类的行为会造成不可逆转的后果。我们必须以史为鉴,立即采取措施保护濒危物种,因为一个物种一旦消失,就永远消失了。)
(三)写作要点
准确运用一般过去时来描述渡渡鸟过去的情况,细致描绘它们在毛里求斯岛独特生态环境中的生活习性、外貌特征等。比如可以描述渡渡鸟庞大的体型,无法飞行的翅膀,以及在林间觅食、栖息的场景,让读者对这种已灭绝生物曾经的存在有生动认知。
清晰阐述渡渡鸟灭绝的原因,从人类活动和生态变化两方面展开。一方面,讲述 17 世纪欧洲殖民者登陆毛里求斯后,大肆捕杀渡渡鸟作为食物;另一方面,分析殖民者引入的猪、狗、猴子等外来物种对渡渡鸟栖息地的破坏,以及它们偷吃渡渡鸟的蛋,导致其繁殖受阻,最终走向灭绝。
合理表达自己对于保护动物的观点,结合渡渡鸟灭绝的悲剧,强调保护生物多样性的重要性。指出每个物种在生态系统中都有独特的地位和作用,渡渡鸟的灭绝不仅是一个物种的消失,更可能引发连锁反应,影响整个生态平衡。呼吁人们增强保护意识,减少对野生动物栖息地的破坏,抵制非法捕猎,共同守护地球上的每一个生命。
(四)写作思路
开头可以以一种有趣的方式引出渡渡鸟,比如提到它在《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中出现,然后转折说明现实中它曾经真实存在但现已灭绝。如:For example, "In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Dodo is a quirky and memorable character. However, few people realize that this seemingly fantastical bird was once a real species that roamed the earth, but unfortunately, it has gone extinct."
中间部分详细描述渡渡鸟生活的地方、它们原本平静安全的生活,以及人类到来后对它们的影响,如砍伐树木、猎杀它们、动物吃它们的蛋等,导致它们灭绝。如:For instance, "Dodos lived on the island of Mauritius. Before the arrival of humans, they led a peaceful life without natural predators. As the saying goes, 'The arrival of humans changed everything.' People cut down trees, hunted dodos for food, and introduced animals like pigs and monkeys, which ate dodo eggs. These actions eventually led to the extinction of this unique species."
结尾呼吁大家保护动物,从渡渡鸟的灭绝中吸取教训。如:For example, "The extinction of the Dodo serves as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting wildlife. As the famous conservationist Jane Goodall once said, 'What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.' Let's learn from the tragic story of the Dodo and take action to protect our planet's precious biodiversity."
(五)写作步骤
第一步:引出渡渡鸟:用 “You may think I’m just a character in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Actually, there used to be thousands of us – for real. But now you can only see us in museums.” 这样的句子引出渡渡鸟,引起读者兴趣。
第二步:描述渡渡鸟的生活:介绍它们生活在印度洋的一个岛上, “We lived on an island in the Indian Ocean.”,那里有充足的食物, “There was plenty of food to eat.”,其他动物也很友好,它们过着平静安全的生活, “All the other animals were friendly. What a peaceful and safe life!”。
第三步:阐述人类的影响及渡渡鸟的结局:说明 1598 年人类到来, “However, in 1598, humans arrived.”,人类砍伐树木, “They cut down the trees.”,猎杀渡渡鸟, “They hunted us.”,他们的猪、猫和狗吃渡渡鸟的蛋, “Their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs.”,最终渡渡鸟灭绝, “As a result, we soon died out.”。
第四步:表达对保护动物的看法:在结尾写道 “The world is full of fantastic animals. Please try your best to help them. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo.”,呼吁大家保护动物。
(六)词汇运用
描述生活环境:island(岛屿),Indian Ocean(印度洋),plenty of(大量的),food(食物),friendly(友好的),tropical climate(热带气候),lush vegetation(繁茂植被),habitat(栖息地),serene(宁静的),undisturbed(未受干扰的),abundant resources(丰富资源),paradisiacal(天堂般的)。
描述人类行为:arrive(到达),cut down(砍伐),hunt(猎杀),eat(吃),invade(入侵),colonize(殖民),deforestation(森林砍伐),exploit(开发),overhunt(过度猎杀),devastate(破坏),eradicate(根除)。
描述结果:die out(灭绝),extinction(灭绝),vanish(消失),disappear(消失),wipe out(消灭),become extinct(变得灭绝),cease to exist(不复存在),doomed to oblivion(注定被遗忘)。
(七)句型运用
表示过去存在:There used to be...;Once upon a time, there existed...;In the past, ... could be found everywhere
描述过去的生活:We lived... There was... All the other animals were...;Life was... and the environment was...;Back then, ... roamed freely and... thrived
表示原因:because(因为),What’s more(而且);Due to...;Owing to...;As a consequence of...;Furthermore...;Moreover...
表示结果:As a result(结果);Consequently...;Therefore...;Thus...;Hence...;As a consequence...
呼吁:Please try your best to...;Let's join hands to...;It's high time we took action to...;We must make every effort to...;I urge you to...
(八)范例作文
Are you looking at me? You may think I’m just a character in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Actually, there used to be thousands of us – for real. But now you can only see us in museums.
We lived on an island in the Indian Ocean. In the happy old days, there was plenty of food to eat. All the other animals were friendly. What a peaceful and safe life!
However, in 1598, humans arrived. They cut down the trees and our lovely forest was gone. They hunted us because we were slow and couldn’t fly. What’s more, their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs. As a result, we soon died out.
So today we are standing in museums around the world. When you see us, please remember our sad story. The world is full of fantastic animals. Please try your best to help them. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo.
译文:
你在看我吗?你也许认为我只是《爱丽丝梦游仙境》里的一个角色。实际上,曾经有成千上万只我们 —— 真的。但现在你只能在博物馆里看到我们。
我们生活在印度洋的一个岛上。在过去那些快乐的日子里,有充足的食物可吃。所有其他的动物都很友好。多么平静而安全的生活啊!
然而,在 1598 年,人类来了。他们砍伐树木,我们可爱的森林消失了。他们猎杀我们,因为我们行动缓慢且不会飞。而且,他们的猪、猫和狗吃我们的蛋。结果,我们很快就灭绝了。
所以如今我们矗立在世界各地的博物馆里。当你看到我们时,请记住我们悲伤的故事。世界上充满了奇妙的动物。请尽你最大的努力去帮助它们。让它们像蛤蜊一样快乐,而不是像渡渡鸟一样灭绝。

Dear John,
I’m very glad to hear that you are working on protecting wild animals in danger. I think wild animals are important to our environment because they maintain ecological balance and enrich biodiversity. For example, pandas live in forests and eat bamboo, but nowadays they are in danger. The main reasons are habitat loss and illegal hunting. To help them, we can spread awareness about protecting animals and avoid buying products made from them. We should also support wildlife reserves. If everyone takes action, we can make a difference.
Wish you everything goes well.
Yours,
Li Hua
