近日,武汉外国语学校高二(1)班李华同学收到一封美国笔友Peter的邮件。在邮件中,Peter讲述自己特别喜爱的宠物狗突然死去,非常伤心,打算克隆这条狗,但犹豫不决,特来邮件征询李华的意见。
假如你是李华,请对邮件作回复,对于“克隆宠物狗”提出自己的反对建议及其原因:1、克隆狗只是外貌相似,个体差异大;2、目前,动物克隆风险较大;3、克隆动物抗病能力差、寿命短暂;4、克隆费用昂贵,不如重新领养。
注意:
1.词数100左右;
2.内容包括要点但不要逐字翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;
3.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数;
4.参考词汇:clone(克隆)resist(抵抗)adopt(领养)
DearPeter,
I’mverygladtoreceiveyourletterofMay2nd,
