only if we understand can we care; 唯有了解，我们才会关心 ； only if we care will we help; 唯有关心，我们才会行动； only if we help shall all be saved. 唯有行动，生命才会有希望。  ——Jane Goodall  ——珍妮·古道尔

1. What made her a great success?
Discussion
2.What should we learn from Jane Goodall?
3. What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife?
1. What made her a great success?
We think that there are two points that mad her successful. One is her way to study chimps, and the other is her true love to the animals. The first one is facile(容易作到的), because it is only a way. Everyone can do it. But for the second one, it is more easily said than done. As a woman, she gave up everything, went to the forest to study the chimps and devoted all her love to these animals. It is really not easy. What we cannot understand is that how she has such great personality (人格，个性).
2.What should we learn from Jane Goodall?
wisdom and courage
deeply love to the animals.
her consideration
her hard work
3. What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife?
We should call for all the citizens to love wildlife, protect their living conditions, forbid hunters to kill them freely, build more natural reserves for them and we shouldn’t disturb them. The national wildlife protection parks shouldn't be open to the tourists. Make people aware of the importance of wildlife protection.
