I’m a tiger in the forest. My friends and I once lived in peace. However, one day, some dangerous creatures came. They cut down trees to build high buildings and factories. As a result, we are losing our habitats. The sky is no longer as clear as before and the river becomes dirty, which really do harm to our health. What’s worse, we are being hunted for our fur, bones and meat. We are in danger of disappearing. So I have to write to ask for your help. We need your protection. Otherwise, we may die out sooner or later.

Best wishes.

Yours,

A tiger Step V Summary &Homework Summarize the whole lesson, and arrange the homework. Make up sentences with the words and phrases learned today.
