Unit 10 The world around us Speaking R: Good morning, Mr. Tiger. My name is Jim and I’m a reporter from China Daily. Uh, I’m a little nervous, this is the first time I speak to a tiger. May I ask you some questions? T: Sure. And don’t be nervous. I won’t eat you. R:Now, how long have you been living in the zoo? T: Oh, I came here, let me see, six years ago. I used to live in a forest, but people there cut down all the trees and I had to move. There were cities and people everywhere, so I had no place to go. The police came and took me to the zoo.

If you could say something to all the humans in the world, what would you tell them? T: I would tell them to stop being so foolish. We all need each other and we should try to be friends. If people cut down trees and pollute the environment to make money, we will all suffer. And don’t kill animals to make clothes—when I see people wearing animals furs at the zoo I get really angry. R: Thank you. Um, would you please take your paw off my shoulder. It hurts. T: I’m sorry. I guess I got a bit excited. Don’t get me wrong. I like humans. I just wish they would be less selfish.
