【分析】本题要求以大熊猫的身份给人类写一封呼吁保护的书信，需涵盖个性、生活习性、生存危机、保护措施四个核心方面，词数控制在80左右。解题思路：1. 开篇点明身份，结合外貌（黑白皮毛）说明个性（可爱、友好）；2. 介绍核心生活习性（以竹子为食，过去在竹林的快乐生存状态）；3. 转折阐述生存危机：人类砍伐竹林导致生存空间缩小、食物不足；4. 提出具体保护措施（建自然保护区、种植竹子），最后呼吁人类与熊猫和谐共处，严格遵循书信格式。
【解析】按照书信的标准格式，以大熊猫第一人称展开写作：① 开篇介绍自身特征与性格，点明爱吃竹子的习性及过去在竹林的快乐生活；② 转折说明当前危机：人类为自身需求砍伐竹林，导致生存空间缩小、竹子食物不足；③ 提出针对性保护措施，最后发出与自然和谐共处的呼吁。写作中运用了not only...but also...、used to、as a result等句式与衔接词，逻辑清晰，符合词数要求。
