Good morning, judges, ladies and gentlemen! My name is Lisa from Anji Foreign Language School. Today I’m so glad to stand here and share my speech with you. My topic is Love and Take Care Of Animals!

When I was a little baby, Papa and mum taught me new words. Dogs, cats, birds and other lovely animals were always the first ones. In my mind, animals are always cute, lovely and helpful. They are our friends. I love animals so much.

As we know, animals and human are parts of nature. They don’t only depend on nature, but also have a major impact on nature. With the process of human civilization, our life has become more and more comfortable and convenient, it may be good news to man but bad news to animals. Have you realized the danger our friends-animals are facing? Do you know how many wild animals have been extinct and how many wild animals are closing to be so?

Let me tell you, just in China, in the 20th century we lost 10 kinds of wild animals, including Hog Deer, Painted Stork and Taiwan Clouded Leopard. And if we still sit by, we would lose Red-Crowned Crane, White-Flag Dolphin and even the Giant Panda, our national treasure! Aren’t these enough?

 Our Mother Nature is angry, she is crying! She can’t stand so much pain. What can we do? How can we solve this problem? The answer is simple. We must reduce our bad influence on nature, stop cutting trees, stop the pollution, respect and protect every animal. Let’s treat animals as our real friends. Please, please think of those wild animals carefully! The earth is our only home, human beings and animals are equal in nature. To save nature is to save ourselves, to protect animals is to take care of ourselves.

Don’t hesitate any more! Let’s start at home, and raise our voices abroad. I believe our world will be a better place for us and for all animals! Thank you for your attention!
