Today I’m going to talk about rainforests. Are you       with them? They’re interesting and exciting places! Many kinds of the world’s plants and animals live in the rainforests.
However, rainforests are    now---they are disappearing very fast because they are cut down or burnt every day. As a result,    animals and plants are dying out.
Maybe you have never been to a rainforest, so why should you protect them     ?  Rainforests are important to everyone. They are important because the plants in the rainforests make oxygen . We need oxygen to breathe.

 
Rainforest also help to      the weather. When trees are cut down, it gets hotter. Besides, one quarter of our    come from plants. Many of these plants can be found only in rainforests. There is a lot that we have not learnt about rainforests. If we      them, we will never find out.
In my opinion, our future     saving the rainforests. We must tell more people how important rainforests are so that they will stop doing harm to them. We must protect the rainforests now. We have to act now to save our only home.
