5 . Most people love animals because they are useful in many ways. They add more fun to our life.

We find many different kinds of animals on the earth. Some animals, such as leopards, wolves, pandas and foxes live in big forests. They are called wild animals. People should be far away from most of them, but some of them are afraid of people. We can only watch them in the zoo. Some others like cows and dogs live with man. They are called domestic animals.

Animals are important to man. People kill wild animals for fur and meat. Skins of foxes and crocodiles can be made into coats and shoes. People are now stopped from killing wild animals so that wild animals can be saved. Domestic animals can not only give man food, but also do some farm work for people. Without them, life could be less fun and more difficult. People get meat from sheep and pigs. From cows, we get milk. Horses can take us to other places. It is clear that man can’t live without animals. Let’s save animals now. They are our best friends.
