in protection?

17.6.
How do people feel about the protection of wild animals?
For the most part, I’m sure people are well aware of the importance of protecting wild
animals and endangered species. Particularly many youngsters nowadays are actively
playing their part in wildlife conservation by participating in animal conservation
volunteer programs in remote areas of the country and sharing stories of illegal wildlife
trade on their social medias in hope of raising overall animal welfare standards.

What do you think are some of the benefits to humans from protecting wild
animals?
In my opinion, there are two main reasons to protect wild animals. One of them has to
do with the protection of our ecosystem. Everything in the wild has evolved to work
together to have a biosphere that sustains life. Yet, it is hard to know exactly what might
happen to an ecosystem when even the smallest contributor to that ecosystem
vanishes. Hence, wild animals, as a part of the ecosystem of the world need to be
conserved and protected. Plus, a lot of medicines used to help cure various health
conditions, such as heart diseases, disorders and other illnesses have been derived from
the chemicals produced by animals. If wild animals are gone, it will be impossible for
humans to study and learn from them.

18. Describe a time when you were busy.
You should say:
-
When was that time
-
Why was you busy
-
How did you handle it
Nowadays, with the incredibly fast – paced living, it’s not unusual to see how busy
people are in their lives. Honestly speaking, I have found myself like thousands of time
up to my neck in work, however the time that is most memorable for me is the one of
chasing the deadline to submit my final thesis paper for graduation. The allowed time
for me to fulfil this task is 2 months, nevertheless I spent almost three weeks struggling
to figure out the topic. In addition, I was under pressure by the job pressure at the
company where I was performing as an intern. Between working at the corporates,
attending classes and completing the assigned thesis, I was in fact a busy little beaver
for almost 2 months. I barely had time remaining for my personal stuff and I was really
stressed out that I was falling behind my schedule for my thesis paper submission. It was
in deed a complicated one that required me to do tons of research, both from libraries
and the Internet. In addition, I had to visit some local companies to collect data for my
thesis. Those days were so tough and I had been so busy that sometimes I slept for 3
hours only at night. However, at the end of the day, I completed the thesis with flying
colors and had it submitted in due time. Although it was extremely challenging for me
at that time, I felt that all of my dedication and effort were truly rewarding. It also gave
me some precious experience in time management and dealing with stress in life.
