kilometers per hour. Cheetahs mainly live in west Asia and Africa. An adult cheetah’s body is 1
to 1.5 meters long and 0.75 to 0.85 meters high. It weighs 50 to 80 kilos. Cheetahs live in forests. People have cut down too many trees. Also, there sometimes isn’t enough food for them. So it is very difficult for cheetahs to live in the wild. People have killed too many cheetahs for their fur. Now cheetahs are endangered. Protecting cheetahs has been a main task. If we do nothing, soon there will be no more cheetahs in the world!

Do you want to see the film or read the book in the original? Different people have different opinions.
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting. Some others have just the opposite opinions. They think that they can get more information from the original work. And the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
For me, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in my own house, and I am able to understand the author’s ideas better. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film.
