MARA Trial Paper Directed Writing

I would like to wish a very good morning to our principal, Encik Mustapha bin Haji Yusoff, respected teachers and fellow students. As the President of the Nature Club, I am truly honoured to have been given this opportunity to present a speech to you. The title of my speech is “Threats faced by wildlife and the ways to protect them”.

                At present, there are numerous threats to wildlife. These threats include the unregulated clearing of jungles, the poaching of animals and the increasing interest in owning exotic pets. In addition, wildlife is threatened by the selling and buying of animal products.

                Ladies and gentlemen, there are several ways to protect wildlife. For a start, the government should take steps to control logging activities. This can be done by replanting trees which have been logged.

                The government must also enforce the laws which were created to ban illegal hunting. For instance, strict penalties must be imposed on convicted smugglers. The trading of live animals must also be banned immediately.

                It is also the responsibility of the government to increase public awareness about the threats to wildlife. Non-governmental organizations can also work with the government to provide shelter for rescued wildlife. Lastly, the public can also do its part by donating money to wildlife conservation efforts.

                To conclude, the wildlife in Malaysia faces a bleak future unless the government and the public make a concerted effort to protect it. It is hoped that all of you have learnt something useful from this speech and will do your part in helping to protect our wildlife. Thank you.
