On the theme of endangered animals, Class 602 introduced Israel to Taiwan's rare wildlife — and learned, in return, about animals they had never heard of before.
以「瀕臨絕種的動物」為主題，六年乙班向以色列介紹台灣珍稀的野生動物，也認識了一群從沒聽過的動物。
Today was a special day for Class 602. In an online exchange with a school in Israel on the theme of endangered animals, we introduced some of Taiwan's rarest creatures: the Formosan black bear, the grass owl, the leopard cat, and the Taiwan pangolin. Using simple English and pictures, we explained what they look like, where they live, and why they are in danger.
今天是六年乙班特別的一天。我們與以色列學校以瀕臨絕種的動物為主題進行線上交流，向他們介紹台灣珍稀的動物：台灣黑熊、草鴞、石虎與台灣穿山甲。我們用簡單的英文和圖片，介紹牠們的特徵、棲地，以及面臨滅絕的原因。
The Israeli students were just as well prepared. They introduced endangered animals from their own country — the striped hyena, the lesser kestrel, the griffon vulture, the Arabian oryx, and the sea turtle. Many of these were completely new to us, and they sparked our curiosity about the natural world.
以色列的小朋友也準備得非常用心，介紹了他們國家正在保育的動物：條紋鬣狗、小紅隼、禿鷲、阿拉伯羚羊與海龜。許多動物我們從沒聽過，覺得很新奇，也激發了我們對自然生態的好奇。
Beyond the new English words, we learned something bigger: protecting endangered animals is a responsibility we all share, everywhere in the world.
除了學到許多新單字，我們也明白了一件更重要的事：保育動物，是全世界共同的責任。
“Protecting endangered animals is a job we all share.”
保護瀕危動物，是我們共同的責任。
