[18-2]1.我们喜欢观鸟；每年两次统计鸟儿的数量，以研究鸟儿在数量方面的变化；2.现在正在邀请学生们帮忙；需要更多的人帮我们统计鸟儿的数量；

3.许多人不知道湿地的重要性；我们希望这则信息会有助于他们理解。让他们采取行动来保护野生动物。

We like birdwatching. We do a bird count twice a year to study the changes in bird numbers. We are now inviting students to help. We need more people to help us count. Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand. It may make them take action to protect wildlife.

1.地震开始时我正在图书馆里；

2.地面开始猛烈地摇晃；我试图往外跑，但玻璃碎片和砖头砸了下来，墙开始坍塌；最后，响声和摇动都停了下来；

3. 我意识到自己的一条腿被卡住了；我担心没人会发现我；所以尖声呼救；好在一条狗发现了我，有人把我拉了出去。

I was in the library when the earthquake started. The earth started to shake hard. I tried to run outside, but pieces of glass and bricks fell down, and the walls began to come down. Finally, the noise and shaking ended. I realized my leg was trapped. I was afraid that no one would find me. I screamed for help. Luckily, a dog found me and someone pulled me out.
