In the article "Saving the Panda", the author said that among the animal have endangered, pandas are one of the most endangered animals. There are about 1,800 of black-and-white survive around the world, mostly in their native China. Because giant pandas are extremely rare, so when a new panda was born in a zoo in Washington, D.C, visits to this zoo increased by 50 percent after three months..However, caring for pandas is very expensive. Looking after an adult panda need over $2.5 million per year, because a panda eats about 40 pounds of bamboo shoots everyday. Besides, it needs the best doctors and keepers, tastiest food, and toys to play. So the zoos must sale the ticket and gift shop to tourist for their revenue. Although looking after pandas are too expensive, zoos around the world are successful to increase the population of this pandas. Today, a lot of pandas are learning to be more independent of their human keepers. Every country is helping to protect and increase this endangered animal.
After reading this article, i am very interesting because when i was a little child, i really like panda. I have never seen a real panda, I has just watch on TV and cartoon. I dreamed I have an own panda ^o^. Panda is so cute, so I love the movie Kungfu Panda with Po, a fat and greedy panda, and I use a case for my Iphone with a picture of Po. Reading this article, I know an amazing information about the cost to look after a panda, it is too expensive, and I admire people who spent lots of time and money to protect this animal.
Things I learned about English through reading:
- The meaning of words: "infant", "offset", "revenue", "hesitate", "eliminate".
- Word combination: self-sustaining.
