He has two black eyes, black ears and a white face. What do they have in common? They are endangered, even close to extinction. Why are they endangered? Now let's read a passage about how human activities harm animals. Human activities A Jim is reading a news report about how human activities are harming animals. Read the news report and answer the questions below. Human activities cause increasing harm to animals When you think of a fearsome hunter, images of lions and sharks may spring to mind. Recent research by environmental scientists, however, shows that in fact, humans are the most fearsome hunters who have the greatest impact on animal populations. Human activities have brought many animals close to extinction. In the last 500 years, over 300 species of animals have gone extinct. Some activities, such as hunting and fishing, directly harm animals, while other activities, such as development in towns and cities, impact indirectly on animal populations. Hunting and fishing have directly influenced the world's animal populations. Some people hunt animals for food: whale meat is eaten in some parts of the world. Some people hunt animals for fashion: animal skin is used to make coats and bags. Still others hunt animals just for fun: deer are tracked and shot by people who enjoy the excitement of the sport. Human activities that have indirect effects on animals can be just as harmful. When we build farms or factories, we destroy animal habitats and leave many animals with nowhere to live, or no food to eat. We can also put animals in danger without ever entering their habitats. Air, water, noise and light pollution can all have a deep and damaging influence quite far from their source. Partly due to pollution caused by ship traffic and other human activities, the dolphin population has dropped greatly. As the human population continues to grow, so does the effect we have on animals. 2.What is this news report about?

Make people understand the problems facing animals. beautiful and lively food and medicine maintaining the balance against the law animal habitats using less paper Video script Today I want to talk about protecting animals. We often forget how important animals are to our world. They make our world more beautiful and lively. They provide food and medicine for us. They play a role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem. It’s therefore our duty to protect animals. Video script The best way to protect animals is to do what many countries did with whales years ago. When several whale species were hunted near to extinction in the last century, many countries made killing whales against the law. If we make it against the law to hunt endangered animals, populations of these animals will have time to recover. Video script We must also try to protect animal habitats. Creating protected areas is an effective way to protect animal habitats. Well-planned and well-managed protected areas can ensure that water and food supplies are safe, and can reduce the impact of human activities. There are also things we can do to help protect animal habitats, and even a small action can make a big difference. For example, using less paper may not seem like it would save the animals in the Amazon rainforest. Yet since the loss of animal habitats is partly caused by people cutting down trees in the rainforest, to a certain degree, reducing the need for paper helps protect animal habitats from destruction. Video script Finally, making people understand the problems facing animals also helps. The more we learn about how human activities harm the environment, the better we’ll be able to change our behavior —before it’s too late! Speaking 1. Students work in groups. 2. Design an animal-protection poster and prepare a short speech for the poster.
