Recently, I read an article on Internet written by a Chinese pupil. The article is about protecting sea turtles. Sea turtle is an endangered animal now, and we can learn something from his article. The following is his article I translated from Chinese one.

Hi, everyone!

I am a child from an ordinary fishing family. I was born and am growing by a sea. Sea is my cradle and my partner; it is even more main income source of my family. I love sea and I hope it can be beautiful and fertile forever. This way, it can provide us with endless food, mine and other useful resources.

But I saw that my father and other villagers who go sea fishing are increasing worrying, because the fishes in the sea is becoming less and less and they could only get small fishes. I have learned that human's activities have polluted seas and oceans, therefore many marine animals are facing a danger of extinction.

Let's take sea turtle for example. My home is near Sea Turtle Bay. The reason why it is called Sea Turtle Bay is because it is a place where sea turtles go ashore to lay eggs since ancient time. An old villager said to me, "More than 30 years ago, I could frequently see hundreds sea turtles going shore to lay eggs. Some turtles are as big as a table and several men couldn't lift a turtle." But when I could remember things, it's difficult for us to see sea turtle. Where are those sea turtles? An uncle of sea turtle protected area said, "Some turtles were captured to eat by human or they were made into craftwork; some are hit to death by propeller of ships; others were ill due to the polluted seawater. The places where they can lay eggs were also destroyed by human. Therefore the sea turtles in the sea are decreasing dramatically.

I am afraid. I am afraid that one day, the sea will not more be beautiful and generous and we can't live by the sea anymore; I am afraid that not a turtle will come back to Sea Turtle Bay and more animals will die out. This way, the children in the world can only look for them in books.

Today, so many people come together for a common goal- caring for sea turtle, protecting ocean. I am encouraged that there are more and more people who are actively taking part in the movement of protecting environment.

We are the future of our country and new force to protect human's living environment. We must do it from now and do it from ourselves. Through doing little things, we can contribute our forces to protecting ocean resources and environment. I believe as long as we work together, human and sea turtles can harmoniously live in this blue planet.
