Besides working hard, I am able to enjoy life, to play the piano, to hike and to enjoy a two-month-long vacation every year.

There are rainforests in many parts of the world, but the biggest forests are in South America, Africa and South East Asia. There arent any rainforests in Europe or North America.About 75% of all the kinds of animals that we know come from rainforests. Thousands and thousands of animals live in rainforests. There are many beautiful birds, insects(昆虫) and reptiles(爬行动物). Many of them live in the trees, more than 30 metres from the ground. There are also thousands of different plantsand lots of them are tall trees! It is always hot in a rainforest and the ground is always wet. It is also dark there.The rainforests are very important for us. Without rainforests , we cant live ! The trees and other plants in the forest help to make the air that we breathe(呼吸). They also help to change the weather .They give us wood, rubber, fruits and many of our medicines.Sadly(遗憾的), in many places, the rainforests are in danger.

People cut down the trees to grow rice. They also wanted to grow rubber trees to make rubber. Many animals lived in the rainforest. Some of them went to other parts of Java but many of them disappeared(消失) - forever.
