Module 6  Animals in dangerUnit 1A: Do you like animals in the zoo, Tony? B: Yes, Alice. But I’m more interested in wild animals. A: What do you think of snakes and giraffes? B: I’m afraid of snakes. They are long, thin and scary. Giraffes eat grass but grow quickly. We notice that they are tall with long necks. A: Why do giraffes have so long necks? B: Long necks allow them to get enough leaves, most people think. A: I know some wild animals, like giraffes, elephants, tigers are in danger. B: Yes. People cut down trees for farms and take away their homes. Some even kill these animals. Some of them live a hard life.A: Yes. Animals are our friends. We should live together in peace. So we must protect them and look after them well. B: You have a point(有道理). What can we do to help? A: Let’s think of the ways to help. Why not put up a notice and call on people to raise some money for a wildlife protection charity(慈善机构)?
