The elephant is another animal that lives in groups. An
elephant herd (群) usually has from twenty to forty members. The
elephants in the herd depend on one another for help in time of trouble.
The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female. She travels at the head of the herd and is followed by the other females and their young. The bull elephants follow last. When danger threatens, the bulls form a circle around the weaker animals and guard them.
The members of the herd are loyal to one another. A sick or wounded elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is injured, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their bodies. A member of the herd may be caught in a trap. Then the others try to free it.
Elephants are fond of the youngsters in the group and give them special care. They help young animals stay afloat (漂浮着) when the herd crosses a river. They work together to rescue a calf that has wandered into a dangerous place.

Dear Jane,
Thank you for your letter and the photo of your family. Now I am writing to tell you why I am the only child in my family.
As you know, the population of China is growing very fast. In order to control the rapid increase of population, in the 1980s the government of China began to put into practice the family program -- one child for each couple. As a result, most families have only one child.
Most people are in favor of the program because the child in the family can get more love from the family and chances are better for the child to get better education. The only child is selfish, and not so independent, though. Sometimes they feel lonely. I think, every the only child like me should learn to make more friends.
Hope that we write more often.
Best wishes.
Yours
Li Hua。
