• 3．Dear Chairman Xi，
      I am doing a project at school about animals in danger.I think the situation all over the world is really awful（可怕的）.
      Firstly，I feel so sorry for the panda.It's one of the most famous animals in the world.We learned that pandas mainly live on bamboo，and a panda can eat thirty kilos of bamboo in 24 hours!That's a lot of bamboo.I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down their forests.We would be so sad if they became extinct（滅絕） forever.
      Secondly，what we should try to protect is the Chinese alligator（揚子鱷）.These creatures live in some parts of Eastern China.They live in freshwater rivers and lakes，but the water in some places isn't clean enough for them to live in.It's really dirty in fact.The government should stop factories from polluting（污染） the lakes and the rivers.
      If we all try our best to protect these beautiful animals in China，more people may come to China to see them.Now most visitors just visit the places of interest.
      I hope you will encourage more people to think about such an important subject.
  Sincerely yours，
  Wang Jing
