Mary is an English girl, but she lives in Paris. She is six years old. Her mother says to her, "You are six now, Mary, and you are going to the school here. I'm sure you'll like it very much. It's a nice school."
"Is it an English school?" Mary asks.
"Yes, it is." her mother says.
It is September and the new school year begins. Mary goes to school every day. She likes her lessons very much and works hard at them. Her mother always takes her to school in the morning and brings her home in the afternoon.
Now, it is afternoon and school is over. Mary's mother goes to the school and Mary runs over to her.
"We have a new classmate in our class today, Mum." Mary says. "She is also six and she's very nice, but she isn't English. She is German." "Does she speak English?" Mary mother asks. "No, she laughs in English." Mary says to her mother.
There are many wetlands(湿地)in China and some of them have become the world's important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. In winter you can see some red-crowned cranes in the Yellow Sea Wetlands though there are not many in the world.
It is not too hot nor too cold in the wetlands. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood(洪水). But some people want to change the wetlands to make more farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.
