There are three jobs in an ecosystem:producer(生产者)，consumer(消费者)and decomposer ()The trees in the forest produce food by themselves.Giraffes themselves can't make their food,so they consume or eat the trees'leaves.But sometimes hungry lions or other animals eat them.When animals die,their bodies become part of the soil and air to help the forest grow. So the ecosystem can keep on going. Ecosystems come in lots of kinds and sizes.A back garden or even a big sea can be an ecosystem.The key thing is that an ecosystem has to be balanced.If there weren't animals to eat giraffes,giraffes would eat too many leaves.This wouldn't be good for the trees,and this would make it difficult for giraffes to find food.Different weather and natural disasters can also change the ecosystems.People can also bring problems by cutting down the trees and so on. Ecosystems are everywhere.They play an important part in our life.It is necessary for us to do what we can to keep them working well. l.创新考法行文方式How does the writer start this text'?
