C Read an Asian elephant's letter to humans. Circle the mistakes and correct them in the blanks below.
Dear humans,
I am an Asian elephant. I am writing thanking you for all your help. You worked hard to protect my forest home and my family and friends. You helped us surviving. I am very grateful to you for your work.
Years ago, my family and I couldn't find a safe home. Life was very difficult for us. But you decided change that. You protected our forest so that we could live happily in it. During a dry season, my family and I moved to an area near a beautiful river. I often go to the river with my family in order for drink water. Last week, I saw my baby to play in the water. It filled me with joy!
You also made laws to stop hunters. You forced people to not kill us, so there are not so many hunters today. We don't have to live in fear any more, and that fills me with happy.
Thank you for your protecting.
With love,
An Asian elephant

答案：
【解析】：
这是一道英语语法纠错题，考查的是学生对英语语法规则的掌握和运用能力，包括动词形式、固定搭配、介词用法等。解题的关键在于逐句阅读信件内容，找出其中不符合英语语法规则的错误之处，并进行相应的改正。
1. “I am writing thanking you for all your help.”中，“writing”和“thanking”不能直接连用，需要用“to do”不定式表示目的，所以“thanking”应改为“to thank”。
2. “You helped us surviving.”中，“help sb. do sth.”是固定搭配，“surviving”应改为动词原形“survive”。
3. “But you decided change that.”中，“decide to do sth.”是固定搭配，缺少“to”，应改为“decided to change”。
4. “I often go to the river with my family in order for drink water.”中，“in order to do sth.”是固定搭配，“for”应改为“to”。
5. “Last week, I saw my baby to play in the water.”中，“see sb. do sth.”表示看到某人做某事的全过程，“to”多余，应删去。
6. “You forced people to not kill us,”中，“force sb. not to do sth.”是固定搭配，应改为“forced people not to kill us”。
7. “We don't have to live in fear any more, and that fills me with happy.”中，“fill sb. with sth.”，这里“happy”是形容词，应改为名词“happiness”。
8. “Thank you for your protecting.”中，“your”是形容词性物主代词，后面应接名词，“protecting”应改为“protection”。
【答案】：
(1) thanking → to thank
(2) surviving → survive
(3) change → to change
(4) for → to
(5) to play → play
(6) to not → not to
(7) happy → happiness
(8) protecting → protection
