"Save the whales!" That’s what the picture on Jake Smithes bedroom wall said Jake liked having a
picture that said something important; that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a
chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of
the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed
out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but
nothing they'd have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam in their direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and
when the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his
family and all the others were no longer sightseers (观光者). They had to become rescuers (救援者). A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the
water, but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery (升降机械),
to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back
to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could
help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was
needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the
headlights on the sand The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally
able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out
about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump
of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its
life.

Dear Editor,
I've just read an article on the Internet about saving tigers. It says that the number of tigers is
becoming smaller in our country. It’s terrible. I saw a few people selling bones of tigers by theroadside the other day. I also learned that some people killed tigers in order to make money. And
too many trees have been cut down. The places where tigers used to live have been destroyed.
Tigers are in danger of dying out.
To save tigers, our government should punish the hunters. At the same time, we should try our
best to make our earth pleasant and peaceful, not only for human beings but also for animals.
Yours faithfully,
Lihua
