I have been particularly fond of cats since I was a child. Although the cat at home has been given away to someone else, when I see the wild cats in the community, I will still recall the scenes of playing together in the past.

The cat’s appearance is very beautiful, with a pair of pointed ears on its round head, and its big, watery eyes like two bright pearls at night. A cat's whiskers are very useful and can sense the surrounding environment, like a moving ruler, helping it judge the size of mouse holes.

I have seen many TV commercials, and one of my favorites is the public service announcement about "Protecting Birds" that was inserted in the "Windmill" column of CCTV.

In a large forest full of singing birds and fragrant flowers, there is an old tree. There is a beautiful old nest on the high branch, and there are four little orioles living in it. Under the careful feeding of the little oriole mother, the little orioles grew up. When it was time to fly, the chicks played happily. Suddenly, a shiny black muzzle protruded from a patch of green grass and was aimed at a little oriole. There was only a "bang" sound. When the little oriole reacted, it tried to fly away from the branch. , it was too late. Several of its beautiful feathers were broken by bullets. It could not fly high and fell to the ground. The little oriole blinked and asked sadly: "We are friends with humans. Why is this happening? ”

This advertisement deeply shocked me. Birds and other animals living on the earth are friends of mankind. Why can’t we live in peace with them? Woolen cloth? If birds are hunted and killed indiscriminately for a long time, we will lose our best forest doctors, which will lead to the proliferation of insect pests. The earth inhabited by humans will definitely "fade" a lot of green. If we don't protect birds, we may never see them again. It’s hard to see the scene of birds clinging to people in the park. There is “scent of flowers” ??but no “birds singing”. The park has naturally lost its original wildness and vitality.

I sincerely hope that all students will watch this public service advertisement and jointly promote the importance of protecting birds, turning slogans into actions. I think that as long as the whole society works together, we will be able to "hear birds singing everywhere" in the future. Explanatory Essay Example 5

Nanjing is the ancient capital of six dynasties and the host of the 20xx Youth Olympic Games. As the host, I will introduce Nanjing's scenic spots - the Ming City Wall. The ancient city wall of Nanjing was built in the Ming Dynasty. The perimeter of the inner city alone reaches 33.7 kilometers, which is longer than the city wall of Paris, which has a circumference of only 29.5 kilometers. The ancient city wall was completed by Zhu Yuanzhang after three years of preparation, four stages and 21 years. In order to build the ancient city wall of Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered 5 provinces, 20 states, and 118 counties to bake city bricks. In order to ensure quality, each brick must be stamped with the name of the state, prefecture, county, craftsman and supervising official who fired it. If it is unqualified, it will be returned and remade. If it fails again, it will be punished. It can be seen that it is extremely strict. These city bricks are 40 to 50 centimeters long, about 20 centimeters wide, and no less than 10 centimeters thick.

Its total amount is approximately 350 million pieces. These figures also show the magnificence of the Ming city walls.

The city wall of Nanjing is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese military defense facilities and city wall construction technology. Regardless of its historical value, ornamental value, archaeological value, architectural design, scale, function and other aspects, city walls at home and abroad are incomparable. It can be said to be another historical wonder after the Great Wall of China. The 13 gates of the Ming Dynasty City Wall all have towering towers built on top, among which the Jubao Gate is the most majestic. The three city gates of Jubao, Sanshan and Tongji each have four walls, and the space between each two is called "Wengcheng", which can be used for defense in wartime. The Jubao Gate is the strongest of these city gates. The parts below the city tower are basically intact, and there are special facilities called the "Tibetan Army Cave". The "Tibetan Army Cave" is actually a brick door with a closed end, which can be used for soldiers to rest and store military supplies during wartime. There are 13 such "Tibetan Army Caves" on two floors on the southernmost wall of Jubaomen, and there are 7 more on the lower parts of the left and right walls, totaling 27 in total. It is said that each cave can accommodate more than 100 soldiers, and the cave can hide more than 3,000 soldiers. This kind of facility is extremely rare in other large cities in ancient China.

Each city gate has two inner and outer gates. The outer one is a "thousand catty gate" lowered from the city head, which has a solid defensive effect; the inner one is made of wood and iron sheets. Open the door. In normal times, pedestrians, carriages and horses all pass through the city gate. The long history of the Ming City Wall is the pride of Nanjing people! Description of Things Essay 6

He is fat and staggering when he walks, he is silly, and he breathes heavily. What is this guy? A pig! Something even a one-year-old knows. Indeed, pigs are often seen as stupid, lazy and dirty in people's minds. Even the great Immortal Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West" has such virtues. In fact, judging from the domestication process of pigs, pigs are smart and cute animals.

The reason why pigs are considered stupid is because of their fat body. But despite its humble appearance, some of its intelligences are not even comparable to those of dogs! Scientists have conducted a series of tests on pigs, such as dancing, pulling water, opening doors, etc. The pigs can learn almost all of them just by watching a human demonstration. , and it takes the dog nearly ten times to learn it. Now, pigs have stepped onto the circus stage and perform more excitingly than dogs.

The pig's eyesight and hearing are not very strong, however, its sense of smell is better than that of the poodle. So someone trained a pig to hunt, and it could sniff out prey more than twenty meters away. After training, it can also help find food underground.

Scientists also discovered that pigs are not inherently dirty. Pigs don't have many sweat glands on their skin, so they like to soak in water in order to dissipate heat on hot days. But because they can't find clean water, they have to soak in muddy water. Pigs also know how to be hygienic, and they always stay away from the water as much as possible. Place to poop and pee. It's just that people kept it in a pigsty and had no choice but to make it very dirty. Pigs are very selective in their food. They will never forcefully eat anything they don't like. It also knows how to eat small, frequent meals and chew slowly. Pigs can also eat snakes and are highly resistant to snake venom. Therefore, some people in the United States are raising pigs in farmland, and the number of venomous snakes in the fields has been significantly reduced.

Archaeologists have discovered that humans began to domesticate and raise pigs nearly 10,000 years ago. Wild boars are covered with hard hair, have green faces and fangs, and are very ferocious. It runs fast and has no scruples when it gets angry. Even the tiger, the king of beasts, is afraid of it. Domesticated domestic pigs, on the other hand, have changed the viciousness of wild boars and have changed in appearance and character. They have also gradually developed the characteristics of fast growth and strong reproductive capacity, so they have become domestic animals with the highest economic value. One pig has multiple uses, benefiting mankind. Pigs are not only edible, but also a raw material for tanning and pharmaceuticals. Even their excrement is a good agricultural fertilizer and has been praised as "a treasure all over the body". Sample 7 description of things

The smallest Etruscan shrew currently found in the world is only 5 cm long, with a tail length of 2.5 cm and a weight of only 1 gram.

The main food of the Etruscan shrew is earthworms and insects. Because it is so small! So when it hunts earthworms, it's like a mouse fighting a snake. How does the Etruscan shrew hunt? It bites its prey first, then sprays venom from its fangs, and then drags the prey into its burrow after the prey is unconscious.

The shrew has a huge appetite and needs to eat 2 to 3 times its body weight in food every day. And eat whatever you see. If you put a mouse and a shrew in the same cage, half a day later you will find that the shrew is staring at the torn corpse of the mouse, so the shrew is also known as the "pot-bellied man".

Although shrews look a lot like mice, if you think shrews and mice are the same, you are totally wrong. It has been scientifically proven that shrews and mice are not related in any way. Humans and shrews are even more closely related than shrews are to mice. From the appearance point of view, the shrew's mouth is sharper than that of the mouse; from the food point of view, the shrew eats pests, while the mouse eats crops; from the perspective of combat effectiveness, the shrew has strong fighting ability and is a ferocious predator. In comparison, the combat effectiveness of rats is relatively weak.
