【连句成篇】
The most iconic animal of China by far is the giant panda. As one of the surviving ancient animals, it is regarded as a national treasure of China. Besides, it is one of the world’s rare animals.
The giant panda is a mammal classified in the bear family, which is native to mountain areas of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces in China. It mainly feeds on bamboo and it may also eat honey, oranges and bananas when available. With more and more forests destroyed and most of the bamboo cut down, it became more and more difficult for giant pandas to find food for themselves, which once made giant pandas on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, China has set up nature reserves to protect the giant panda.
With the number of wild giant pandas on the increase, scientists hope that one day there will be enough giant pandas living in the wild freely. It is our eager hope that people who care about the conservation of rare animals will lend us a hand to help save giant pandas.
