8．【答案】Dear editor, I'm writing to you because I want humans to save the endangered tigers. It is said
that there are only a few tigers left in our country. As is known to us all, tigers are protected animals. But
some people kill them in order to make money. Besides, too many trees have been cut down, destroying their
habitats. So I think that the government should take necessary measures and pass laws to protect tigers and
punish the hunters. I do hope we all try our best to make our Earth pleasant and peaceful, not only for human
beings but also for animals. Yours, Li Ming
