How shall we balance the relation between urban development and wild animal protection? (Discussion)
First and foremost, nature reserves must be set up to preserve the natural habitats of wild animals.
Second, we should make efforts to protect the animals immigrating to the cities, such as providing food and shelters for them.
What' s more, the government is supposed to take measures to prevent the animals from being trapped or killed, especially some endangered species.
In conclusion, it is crucial to keep the ecosystem balanced and give the animals greener and safer space.

Look for real-life news about urban wildlife. Try to analyse how the animal adapts to city surroundings.
Urban Foxes in London
Red foxes are typical urban wildlife in London. They have made amazing adaptations to city life.
Instead of hunting only in forests, foxes search for leftover food in residential gardens and streets. They choose to move around mainly at dusk and night to avoid meeting humans. Besides, they can take shelter under bushes or beside buildings when needed.
Though living among crowds and cars, foxes still keep their wild nature. They have successfully turned modern cities into their new homes.
1. The wild are our friends and we should coexist with them harmoniously.
2. Reading skills.
3. How to describe the human-wildlife topic.
