AReportAboutElephants
Elephants are very big and strong.They are grey and have long trunks and tusks.They live in the forest.One interesting fact is that they have poor eyesight,but they have good hearing and smell.They can lift heavy things and are very friendly to each other.
However,the number of elephants is smaller and smaller.People should stop taking up their land,or elephants will have nowhere to live.Also,we must stop people hunting them for their tusks.If we don’t take action,there will be no elephant left in the world.
