2．Should We Create More National Parks to Save Endangered Animals？
Don't you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct？（1）And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks .（2）If this environment is destroyed—for example，when farmers clear a forest for new fields，or trees are cut down to make profits—many animals are unable to survive，and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition，national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted.A major reason why many species are endangered is that these animals are killed by hunters.They hunt animals to make money. （3）On the other hand，some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it is wrong to interfere with nature.They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. （4）They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all，these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. （5）As a matter of fact，they protect animals from their greatest enemies，that is，human beings.
A.To begin with，animals are important to humans.
B.Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.
C.I personally believe that we must save these animals.
D.These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.
E.Firstly，national parks protect these animals' natural environment.
F.They say though the animals may face danger，they enjoy a free life.
G.There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 15:0:2組卷：6引用：3難度：0.4 -
