Save the sharks!
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many

辨析endangered, dangerous与danger
endangered 形容词,意为“濒危的;濒临灭绝的”;
dangerous 形容词,意为“危险的”;
danger名词﹐意为“危险;威胁”。

Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help save the sharks!

A new study has found that 176 kinds of birds around the world are building their nests with rubbish from humans, such as cigarette butts(烟头)and plastic bags. Aren’t birds supposed to use grass, leaves and other parts of trees to build their homes? Yes, they used to.
But now things are different. A group of European scientists looked into about 35, 000 studies on bird nests. It is found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on the earth.
Scientists find that some rubbish seems to be helpful.

This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have some chemicals, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger.
However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more problems to birds. The unhealthy chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt.
To make matters worse, if the cigarette fire is not off when

the bird brings it back to its home, it may set the nest on fire. Seabirds were found to add fishing nets to build up their nests, which may also cause them in danger, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. Our friends in the air are living a hard life because of some human activities.
To improve the situation, people shouldn’t be allowed to smoke or leave rubbish behind when there are many trees around. And to make the idea work, people will have to pay certain money or help clean the area for some time if they don’t follow the rule. This protects the environment as well as the animals living nearby. We can also play our part by building artificial(人工的)nests that are warm and safe for birds to use instead of forcing them to build their own.
