WRITE A LETTER

Dear Jake,

How are you? How’s it going? It was long since we met, wasn’t it? I miss elementary; it was fun playing together. Well, it’s not like I don’t like middle school. Actually, it’s really fun here in American International School (AIS, for short). We get to do lots of exciting stuffs, and I got to make new awesome friends. I’m doing very fine here, so please don’t worry about me. Oh yeah! I always forget the main point I write to you…

You know, yesterday, our whole eight- grade classes went all together to Cu Chi wildlife rescue center. It’s not a zoo; I’ll tell you before you get your hopes up. It does look like a zoo, but it’s not. It’s a place where animals come and rest until they recover- yeah, it’s like a hospital- then they can break free into the jungle or wherever they came from. The people there release them willingly. I know, cool, huh? The spaces for the animals are large- much larger than the cage people let them in and then kill them for medicine. There were bears, monkeys, baby leopards, sea otters, turtles… They looked really sick (except for the monkeys, they just started grabbing my friend’s shoulder and swing around wildly). Without Cu Chi, they’d start dying. This place is really helpful, you should come, too. I wanted to thank them for what they’ve done for the animals. Your family use bear biles- the medicine that were supposed to cure sicknesses and stuffs- right? Well, those biles come from hunting, killing, and making bears suffer. It doesn’t have any effect, so please don’t use them. It would decrease the bears’ population, affect the food chain, and hurt the animals. They are also living things just like us human, so what’s the point in killing them?

Oh, right! There’s also some articles that talks about them. I’ll put it right below the letter, okay? Yes, yes, I know you really, really hate reading. But deal with it.

Hey, can you help us? You can donate money to the wildlife rescue center, so they can improve. Tell people to stop hunting and killing endangered animals. Or you can do whatever you can to help them. Thanks so much!

Sorry I wrote too much. Hope we can meet soon. Say hi to your family for me.

Best wishes! Love you. Miss you.

Your best friend forever,

Anna Bui

P.S.: Remember what I told you. I’ll visit you soon… probably.
