4 . A family is very important to everyone. A strong family can help people feel good. It can also help make a better (更好的) world. Today both parents and children are busy, so they spend only a little time together every day. There are often lots of problems between parents and children. To let people know that the family is everything, the UN started the International Day of Families (国际家庭日) in 1994. The International Day of Families is on May 15th every year. People in many countries celebrate (庆祝) the day with their family. They do many things, like having dinner together or having a talk with each other.

The International Day of Families is also a time to talk about family problems all over the world. But people in some places think that’s not enough. So they have their Family Day. Children don’t go to school on that day. They stay at home and spend time with their families. They always have a good time and become closer.

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.
