答案Topic 1: What Should Be Done to Prevent Some Animal Species from Becoming Extinct? — Most of us are now aware of the damage which our modern way of life is doing to the environment. This includes the harm which we are inflicting on many animals. — Indeed, we are in danger of wiping out some species, if we have not already done so. — For millions of years, extinction among animals was a natural process. In fact, it was part of the process of evolution. In recent years, however, the extinction of some species has been the result of human activities. Had it not been for these, many more animals would have survived. Do you know how they became extinct? — Well, as far as I’m concerned, some species have either been made extinct, or become endangered, because of hunting. You know, even the very earliest of humans were hunters, since they ate the flesh of animals and clothed themselves in their skins, and doubtlessly their hunting gradually contributed to the extinction of some species. However, it was the introduction of guns, with their accurate aim, which put certain animals at great risk, and from the nineteenth century on several species were on the brink of extinction. — To make matters worse, to date, more animals have been hunted for commercial purposes, apart from the provision of food and clothing. For example, elephants have been hunted for their ivory. — Nowadays, although attempts are being made to regulate such wholesale commercial hunting, it is difficult to control in some areas. Thus, animals continue to die to make profits for humans. — Of course, not only commerce is to blame. Hunting as a sport has also played a part in the extinction of certain species. — A more modern threat to many animals is the destruction of their environment and the resultant changes in the ecology of whole areas. Our use of pesticides and other chemicals has polluted both soil and water, and this pollution has proved to be toxic to many of the plants which are part of the habitat of many animals. Furthermore, we regularly lay waste to land previously inhabited by animals, in order to make way for expanding populations or, as in the case of deforestation, to provide goods for wealthy nations. — Modern living has had a deleterious effect on the ecosystem. We must try to reverse this to save our wildlife. Topic 5: Factors Contributing to a Person’s Success — I just finished a book on the success stories of some famous individuals. I really admire them. — What have you learned from their stories? — Well, to be successful, people must possess some qualities in their personality. — What do you refer to by that? — These qualities include optimism, determination, diligence, confidence, wisdom and others. — Really? You mean a successful person must have all these qualities and it’s not so easy to become successful. I know I must be knowledgeable and confident to achieve something, but I don’t think I’m hardworking. — Don’t worry. You could develop some qualities if you have the mind to do so. Take optimism for example. Try to think of something pleasant when being faced with some trouble, instead of concentrating on negative aspects. "Anyway I will still live on!", you should tell yourself. After some time, optimism will become your way of life. — Ah, I see. So I can also become wiser by experiencing more. The more I experience, the more I will learn, and will consequently know more ways to cope with various situations by reflecting upon my past experience. — You’re right there!
