Read the composition In the cartoon, we can see a man talking to a paper bird kept in his cage and beside him is a vast desert with endless tree roots. Obviously, birds have lost their homes as people have cut down all the trees. The scene may seem ridiculous and unbelievable to us, but it may become a reality in the future if we go on developing economy regardless of the damage caused to the environment. Now in some places, trees have been cut down without limits. Therefore, human beings are faced with an embarrassing situation. Some scientists say that there will be no vast forests in 20 or 30 years and many species will die out. Humans will lose their animal friends. It is really a terrible thing. Therefore, we should realize the importance of environmental protection and live in harmony with our animal friends. If only I could keep a real bird! 3 steps in writing Step1. Description step2.

Example 1 Example 2. _______ comparison education inequality Lets practise! Theme Children are burdened with heavy schoolbags as well as huge mental pressure. We can see in the picture that when the child was a kid, he was expected to be able to go to a key elementary school, and later a key high school. And now he is expected to be admitted to a key university. Nowadays children are burdened with heavy schoolbags as well as huge mental pressure. From my point of view, reducing the childrens heavy burden requires efforts from the schools, the society as well as the parents. Education that breaks the rules of childrens development in body and mind is sure to fail. Thus, parents together with teachers should become active supporters of all-around character education and work closely with each other in guiding the students towards a balanced development.
