动物为什么是我们的朋友英语作文【一】
动物和人，都是有生命的，动物给我们带来了无数的欢乐、无数的帮助，但是有些人却不知回报，反而去伤害他们。动物们和人类一样，它们也是有有肉的，他们也会知道什么是痛，什么是爱！
现在，有越来越多的家庭开始养宠物，可是真正把宠物当成好朋友的又有几个？宠物是我们空闲时的娱乐，而我们却是他们的一切！当我们在外面和我们的朋友在一起时，可曾想过，它们在家里翘首以盼？有些人养了宠物却不对它们负责，还不如不养！
不仅是家畜，许许多多的动物都与我们的生活息息相关。
马是最早被驯服的动物之一，在人类发明车之前，它是最普遍的交通工具，它使远距离的交流成为可能，促进了文化的交流、交融，推动了人类文明的发展，马车还有后来的骑兵的出现更是大大的推动了人类的发展。马对人类的贡献如此之大，却很少有人去关注它们，但它们却仍然默默地为人类服务。
青蛙为人类作出的贡献是显著的，一只青蛙一天捕食的害虫，少则五六十只，多则二百只。如此推算，一只青蛙一年至少要吃掉15000只。每只青蛙吃掉这么多害虫，成千上万只青蛙吃掉的害虫是多么让人震撼啊！而人们呢，他们恩将仇报，越来越多的青蛙成了人们的盘中餐。
啄木鸟是著名的森林益鸟，它们的嘴很锋利，有几寸长，舌头比嘴长。它的爪也很坚硬，用嘴啄到虫后，用舌头钩出后吃掉。因为啄木鸟的主食是害虫，对防止森林虫害，发展林业很有益处，所以大家都叫它们是“森林的医生”。
看见了吗？动物对人类的贡献如此之大，动物和人类的关系如此紧密！动物带给我们欢声，带给我们笑语。动物与人类最重要的就是和平相处，请大家记住，动物是人类的好朋友！
动物为什么是我们的朋友英语作文【二】
Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
