There was plenty of food and all the other animals were friendly. Dodos lived a peaceful and safe life. However, humans arrived in 1598. They cut down the trees and hunted dodos. Their pigs, cats and dogs ate dodos’ eggs. At last, dodos soon died out. Today, we can only see them in museums. This sad story tells us that we should try our best to help animals. We should see them as our friends. Let’s write. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to talk about an animal today. _ _ It’s no secret that we can only see South China tiger in zoos because they die out in the wild. There are few left and they don’t know how to live in the wild. In the past, people cut down trees. As a result, the tigers have no place to live and no food to eat. That’s why they looked for food in villages and even hurt people. So people killed a lot of them. Let’s write. _ We must do something, or the the endangered animals will be as dead as dodos. First of all, stop cutting down trees. What’s more, post pictures or videos online to tell people to protect endangered animals. Last but not least, build forests to help the animals learn to live in the wild. As the saying goes, “Animals are our best friends.” Let’s make our friends as happy as a clam. $
