The ecosystem is 1ike a chain．If any of the links are broken，the
whole system is in danger．This
is why
wetland protection
has been put high on the agenda
in recent years．Zhao，vice-director of the State
Forestry Administration，says nearly 60 percent of the country’s
natural wetlands are still not
under effective protection．Most
Chinese people are
ignorant about the
importance of protecting the wetlands．
Ocean，forestry and wetlands are the three global ecological
systems．Wetlands can conserve and purify water resources, prevent
flooding and help protect the ecosystem. As well as ecological
values， they can also offer economical
returns．
In recent years，many wetlands have become farmland．Drawing too
much underground water，hunting and fishing also ruin their
ecological system．
Every year，the wetlands in the Sanjiang Plain
of Northeast China provide habitat for
birds．Local residents search the area for the birds’ eggs. They
consider the eggs to be a natural gift. rather than wildlife that
should be protected． If they were educated，perhaps this is one
activity that could be brought to an end.
China is now ready to make a plan to save some of these
areas．Some have been restored to raise awareness among the
public．But these moves are not enough．There should be laws in place
to provide legal support to the fight. Environment protection is a
campaign which needs support from everyone in society．Education may
be the first step.

B．Some laws have been passed to protect wetland.
C．Education and laws as well are both important for the wetland
protection.
D．Wetland protection won’t be a success unless everyone offers
their efforts.

An absolutely amazing performance!
Candy，please read the story first and chick on the link at the
bottom and enjoy!
The lady in her 30s was a dancer and was trained since she was a
little girl. Later she got into some kind of accident and lost her
entire left arm. She was depressed for a few years．Then someone
asked her to coach a children’s dancing group. From that point on,
she realized she could not forget dancing.
She still loved to dance．She wanted to dance again．So she
started to do some of her old routines. But by her losing an
arm，she also lost her balance.
It took a while before she could even make simple turns without
falling.Eventually she got it.
Then she heard some guy in his 20s had lost a 1eg in an
accident．This guy also fell into depression and anger. She looked
him up and persuaded him to dance with her. He had never danced!
“And to dance with one leg ? Are you joking with me? No way.”he
replied．
But she didn’t give up. He reluctantly agreed, “I have nothing
else to do anyway．”She started to teach him dancing．The two fell
down a few times because the guy had no concept of using muscle,
controlling his body，and a few other basic things about
dancing．When she became frustrated and lost patience with him，he
would walk out．
Later they got back together again and started training. They
hired a choreographer to design routines for them．She would fly
high，held by him with both arms， flying in the air. He could
bend，supported by one leg and she was leaning on him，etc．They
danced beautifully and they beat other students in the
competition.
I would like to share with you the most magnificent
touching performance I have ever seen! It is a
living proof that strong spirit can conquer physical
limitations!

Dear Jack,
In your last letter you said you were upset by your ordinary
looks, not being understood by others , falling
behind others in your study and not having enough
money .Now , I'm writing to give you some suggestions and share
your pains
First of all, it's not necessary to be worried about your looks.
As we know , we can’t decide our own looks and it is one's inner
beauty that matters. Second, if you are misunderstood by others,you
can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them ,for
being open-minded and friendly will do people good. Besides, don't
feel stressed when you fall behind others ; on
the countrary ,you could encourage
yourself to work efficiently. What's more, there
is no point in feeling unhappy because you don't
have much pocket money. So long as we have some, that's enough.
In a word , I do hope my suggestions can help you and that
you're living a happy life every day .
Best wishes
,
Yours truly
Li
