Dear Editor,
I’m writing to talk about endangered animals. Nowadays. a variety of animals are facing extinction, which really concerns me.
Here are the main reasons. Firstly, people destroy animals' habitats by cuting down trees. Secondly, plenty of animals are killed. Meanwhile,the global climate is geting warmer and wamer.
It's important to take measures to protect them. People are supposed to protect the forests. Moreover, it's better to live a low-carbon life to reduce environmental pollution. It's what we do that counts. A small effort can
make a big difference.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
