Dear Editors,
On my way to work every morning I drive by a farm where I can see some horses off in the distance in the woods. They are there every single morning no matter how cold or rainy or windy it is. There is a shed(牲口棚）on the farm, but it doesn't look to me that the horses are ever taken into the shed. Is this right? I don't think horses should be treated like this.
Sam
Dear Sam,
Thanks for taking an interest in these horses. Problems about the care of horses are different from cats and dogs. Think of wild horses that spend their whole lives outdoors finding whatever food and shelter（遮蔽物）they can on their own. The point is that horses don't require as much shelter as a lot of other farm animals. However, that doesn't mean that they don't need some shelter.
It is hard to tell from your letter whether the situation for these horses is unacceptable. Above all, do you know the people who own the horses well enough to just talk to them as a neighbor and express your concern (关注)? Maybe they will tell you that the horses do go in the shed at night.
If direct contact (联系）is not a choice and you can see that the horses' situation is poor, then call 911, report the situation and ask law enforcement officers (执法官员) to look into it.
If you just can't see enough to prove such a report, call the Oswego Court Humane Society on 207-1070 for help from the Large Animal Assistance Project (LAAP). A volunteer from the project will help solve the problem.
Speaking of volunteer assistance, since you appear to be a horse lover, why not talk to the LAAP about volunteer opportunities for you? It's big job, but totally rewarding, and the project always needs knowledgeable horse people to help.
Here are some tips on listening. .
Relax yourself
. You need to relax. This will help you with your listening.
Listen carefully to the first sentence
The first sentence tells a lot about the whole passage. For example, if, at the beginning, you hear “Many shops in many parts of China have decided to take away all kinds of Japanese goods off their shelves, but some people say it's not a good idea. Our reporter says……”, .
Think when you're listening
. For example, you can think of the following questions：What happened? When，where and how? What was the result and what did the speaker want to tell us? In this way, you may understand the passage better.
It's important for you to remember some important facts. For example, if the passage is a science report, you should try to remember its findings, and how the scient ists got their results. This is also helpful to your listening.
A. Listen to important facts.
B. Pay attention to key words.
C. Maybe they can help you in one way or another.
D. When you're listening, try to do some thinking.
E. This is especially helpful to improve your listening skills.
F. Before you start listening to something, don't get excited or nervous.
G. you know you will hear a piece of news, not a children's story, or a science report.
