Sample essay
Polar bears are amazing animals. They are good at swimming and usually live alone, except mothers with their babies. Baby polar bears weigh only a few hundred grams at birth, but adults can weigh up to 900 kilograms. They can live for about 25 to 30 years and mainly feed on seals.
However, polar bears are in danger. On the one hand, global warming is the main reason why polar bears are losing their homes. On the other hand, Some people kill polar bears because their fur is thick enough to keep people warm in cold winters.
We should try our best to slow down global warming and live a low-carbon life. It’s our shared responsibility to protect polar bears and keep the ecological balance. Let’s take action now to build a safe home for them.
