They talked about the ways to protect the animals in their countries. They agreed to spend more money protecting tigers and they wanted to double the number of tigers in the world before 2022. Tiger is one of the world39。s most endangered animals. The World Wildlife Fund （WWF） says, there are only about 100,000 wild tigers now.

China is one of the 13 countries where tigers live. There are about 50 wild tigers in China now. They are the Bengal tigers in Tibet, Indochinese tigers in China39。s southwest, and Siberian tigers in the northeast. The South China tigers lived in southeast China many years ago but disappeared in the 1970s.

Now a teenager with the same problems might get on the Internet and write in his blog（博客）. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes a blog different from a diary? The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public（公開的） than a diary. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as one full of secrets. Both diaries and blogs tell what happened to the writer that day. A blog has both good and bad points. The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write in your blog. If you are not pleased with a friend during school and write something bad about him or her on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write. A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs: they know that their friends will read what they write. If you are feeling sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to fort（安慰） you or give their help. Blogs help people stay in close contact（聯(lián)系） and let them know what their friends are doing.（1）In the past, teenagers wrote life problems ________.
