八、书面表达
英文杂志《动物世界》（Animal World）正向大家征集旨在呼吁保护野生动物的文章。请你用英语完成一篇投稿稿件，选择一种你了解的野生动物，介绍这种动物以及你对其保护工作的看法。标题自拟，不少于80词。

Sample writing:
Tigers are in danger!
Tigers have bright eyes. With yellow fur and dark stripes, they look very beautiful. People call them the king of the forest. They are good at swimming. They can also run very fast. As a result, they are able to catch some small animals easily. Tigers mainly feed on these animals.
Sadly, tigers in the wild face some serious problems. It’s a pity that some hunters hunt them for their fur and bones. Moreover, they don’t have enough living areas because people want to make more space for buildings.
We should do something to protect them. For example, we must stop people from hunting or killing them. If we do nothing, soon there may be no tigers left in the wild.

【分析】
本题为英语应用文写作题，要求以《动物世界》投稿的形式，介绍一种野生动物并表达保护看法。解题思路：① 选定熟悉的野生动物（如老虎）；② 拟定贴合主题的标题；③ 分段落写作：第一段介绍动物的外形、习性等基本信息；第二段说明该动物面临的生存威胁；第三段提出保护建议并发出呼吁；④ 确保词数不少于80词，语言通顺。
【解析】
按照写作要求，先确定标题为“Tigers are in danger!”，第一段描述老虎的外形（亮眼睛、黄皮毛黑条纹）、称号（森林之王）、技能（擅长游泳、跑得快）、食性（捕食小型动物）；第二段说明老虎的生存危机：偷猎者为皮毛和骨头捕猎，栖息地因人类建筑空间需求减少；第三段提出保护措施（禁止捕猎），并呼吁行动，避免野外无虎，符合词数要求。
【答案】
