【分析】本题要求以濒危动物的名义给人类写保护主题书信，解题思路为：1.确定体裁为书信，时态用一般现在时，人称采用动物的第一人称；2.按结构写作：开篇引出话题（自我介绍+写信目的），接着阐述动物面临的危机及原因，然后提出保护措施，最后发出呼吁总结；3.运用指定的高级词组和语法结构提升写作质量。
【解析】按照书信格式，先写称呼Dear humans，自我介绍为亚洲象Xixi，说明自身生活习性，点明写信目的是求助；接着说明危机：人类活动导致栖息地丧失，难以获取足够食物，非法捕猎象牙使数量锐减；再提及已有保护措施，然后呼吁人类行动：宣传保护物种的重要性、停止非法捕猎及象牙贸易；最后总结呼吁立刻行动，落款为Yours及署名，确保运用要求的高级词汇和语法结构。
