近日，武汉外国语学校高二（1）班李华同学收到一封美国笔友Peter的邮件。在邮件中，Peter讲述自己特别喜爱的宠物狗突然死去，非常伤心，打算克隆这条狗，但犹豫不决，特来邮件征询李华的意见。
假如你是李华，请对邮件作回复，对于“克隆宠物狗”提出自己的反对建议及其原因：1、克隆狗只是外貌相似，个体差异大；2、目前，动物克隆风险较大；3、克隆动物抗病能力差、寿命短暂；4、克隆费用昂贵，不如重新领养。
注意：
1. 词数100左右；
2. 内容包括要点但不要逐字翻译，可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；
3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；
4. 参考词汇： clone (克隆) resist (抵抗) adopt(领养)
Dear Peter,
I’m very glad to receive your letter of May 2nd,

When we got to school gate, Daddy was surprising to find it was strangely quiet in the school.

Writing an article for your school newspaper can be exciting and rewarding, especially when you proudly see your name in print.
Decide on a topic.1.If you plan to write a news article for a monthly newspaper, you will need to take into consideration whether the topic will be relevant before printing. To get ideas for stories, listen to your fellow students and find out what has them talking.

Attract the readers with a lead. As the beginning of a newspaper story, a lead has to be direct, but it does not mean you don’t need to entertain the reader as well. 3.Your lead must be short, but it must also state as many of the essential parts of you story as possible.
Consider the 5 Ws and H. These are the meat and potatoes of your news articles. You article must answer all of these questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Once you have answered these things, you can feel confident. 4.
Write, edit, rewrite and repeat as necessary. So, much about having a successful final product is about being willing to spend time and effort in editing and reviewing process. 5.After that, make changes as a result. Having taken some useful suggestions, you are to make your article readable not only for their content, but also for their quality.
A. Think about what is happening on campus.
B. You have effectively informed your readers.
C. Get them interested with an interesting beginning.
D. Do not be afraid to accept positive comments.
E. News articles are suitable for the date of publication.
