Let's Protect Animals
Hell, everyone. I'm Zhao Gang. I'm glad to give a speech here.
As far as I know. many kinds of animals are in great danger.The main reason is because people cut down trees. So many animals lose their homes and their food.And another reason is that people kill them to make money.
Animals are our friends. We should get on well with each other.Protecting them is protecting ourselves.I think our government should make laws to help save animals. We must try to help them in our life. We can’t buy things made of animals. If we all play a role in protecting animals, animals will live a safer and better life.Let's do it now!

Let's Protect Animals
Hell, everyone. I'm Zhao Gang. I'm glad to give a speech here.
As far as I know. many kinds of animals are in great danger.The main reason is because people cut down trees. So many animals lose their homes and their food.And another reason is that people kill them to make money.
Animals are our friends. We should get on well with each other.Protecting them is protecting ourselves.I think our government should make laws to help save animals. We must try to help them in our life. We can’t buy things made of animals. If we all play a role in protecting animals, animals will live a safer and better life.Let's do it now!
