保护动物，人人有责。我们在这个世界上生存需要有动物的陪伴，并且，很多的动物像小狗小猫已经变成很多人的家人。因此，保护动物应该是我们的责任。

　　保护动物 An Appeal for Animal Protection

　　I am a student from Xinhua Middle School in Chongqing，China. Informed that you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals, I cannot resist my inner excitement,hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for animals .

　　我是来自重庆新华中学的一名学生。得知你们有一个空缺给学生充当动物发言人，我抑制不住内心的激动，想要抓住这次机会为动物做些什么。

　　In my mind，nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the heaven, which bring us endless comfort and pleasure. I have been a panda lover since my childhood. Panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are regarded as the treasure of our country. Unfortunately，such a rare species is now faced with the danger of being extinct。What I am eager to do is to raise people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for our earth companies.

　　我认为，没有什么能够像关心动物一样让我快乐。不管我去到哪里，在做些什么，我会时刻牢记动物是来自天堂的天使，带给我们无尽的舒适和快乐。我从小开始就是一名熊猫爱好者。熊猫是如此可爱，给人们带来乐趣，而且它们是我国的国宝。不幸的是，这种稀有物种现在正频临灭绝的危险。我想要做的是提高人们保护环境的意识，呼吁更多的人关心我们地球的伴侣。

　　It is my belief that all human beings can make a difference together. I would appreciate it if my application could get your approval.

　　我相信，所有人团结起来就会有很大的不同。如果我的申请 能够得到大家的赞成，我将不胜感激。

　　Animals Need Protecting

　　Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

　　Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

　　Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

　　动物需要保护

　　动物是自然资源，在整个历史过程中，人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物，获得它们的皮毛，把它们当作食物或运动方式，或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物也上了濒危动物名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。

　　为什么人们应该感到担忧呢?因为我们需要动物，因为它们一旦消失，就永远不会再出现。动物不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来源。在维持自然平衡中，每种动物都有其作用。毁灭某种动物会导致许多问题。比如，农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰，他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。为什么?因为鹰吃鼠类，没有鹰控制它们的数量，鼠类就会迅速繁殖。

　　幸运的是，有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护濒危动物的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。
