Last weekend, I had a chance to serve as a volunteer at a nursing home in another city. I don't have a car and even the1 train station is far away from my house.2, I wasn't sure how to get there.

I posted a request (请求) for a ride on the ride share board. Soon a person I'd never met3 that he'd be able to pick me up and drop me off at the station. He said he'd wait until my train arrived4  he drove away. My heart 5  and the stress I was feeling disappeared immediately and thus our friendship began.

I ended up arriving at the nursing home in time. The tiny team of servers there were6 for the  additional (额外的) help. We all worked together as a team. I was glad to be a part of this and be of7 to the elderly.

That evening when my new 8  dropped me off at the station, he 9  that it was in a lonely area. So he parked his car and said, "We will wait for the 10  to come together." I couldn't believe his  11.

Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting. According to a research, there are eighty- five of the students admitting that they have a bad handwriting, and yet, are unwilling to improve it.

The reason why so many students refuse to improve their handwritings are as follows. Fifty-one percent think that they can write words by using computers, while thirty-two just say that they are too busy to practice their handwritings. What's worse, eleven percent view handwriting as nothing. And six percent of students have other reasons.

As far as I'm concerned, it is high time we should attach more importance to handwriting. The school authorities should start some courses accordingly. More importantly, we should spare some time to practice it instead of using computers.

Do you know the two lovely mascots? You may know the five "Fuwa" dolls from the 2008 Beijing

Olympic Games. On September 17 of this year, the two lovely mascots first showed on TV. Now, let's see who they are.

Look at the panda! It looks like an astronaut. It wears an ice shell and looks fat, so we call it "Bing Dwen Dwen". White is the color of ice and snow. "Bing Dwen Dwen" likes ice sports very much and is good at them. That's why it is the mascot of 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

Do you think the red mascot looks like a lantern? The lantern's name is "Shuey Rhon Rhon". When the Chinese New Year comes, people always make or buy red lanterns. Red is the color of hope and good luck, so people think their dreams will come true in the new year. "Shuey Rhon Rhon"can give players hope and help them do well in the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games.

Many people in different countries like the two mascots very much, and they show their love for them on the Internet.

A primary school headmaster became a star on the Internet for dancing with his students.

Zhang Pengfei works in Xiguan Primary School in Linyi, Shanxi Province. Every morning, he leads 700 pupils to do the "ghost shuffle" routine（跳鬼步舞操）on the playground. They dance for 30 minutes every day. They like dancing more than doing the old exercise routine, so they don't do the old one now.

"I thought we needed a change because the students lost interest in doing the old exercise routine though it was useful for pupils" Zhang told the reporter. After all, they started to do the old exercise routine in 1951.

Mr. Zhang saw a group of people doing the "ghost shuffle" routine by accident. Then he decided to learn it on his own. "I thought the dance would be great for kids," he said, "The music is energetic and it really makes children relax." In October 2018, he introduced the dance to all the pupils of his school. Soon even teachers and workers there joined in the activity.

"Now the pupils don't keep playing games on their phones. Sometimes they watch different dancing videos and learn new moves!" the headmaster said.

When you hear the word "volunteering", what do you think of it? You may think volunteering is to help others, giving them money or things. It can also help you. If you're sad about something that has happened, doing something volunteering can be a great way to do with your bad feelings.

Sometimes it's easy to worry about some things like grades and health or get angry because you don't have the newest computer games. Volunteering lets you spending some time doing other things for a while.

Lots of people and kids really enjoy volunteering. For example, you might know that just on the other side of your town, there are some kids who really need winter clothes.You'll know that, thanks to you, some of kids have warm coats, hats, and shoes. So whether (不论) it's winter clothes, food for the hungry, or homes for some homeless pets, doing volunteering work means one very important thing.

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Products are not produced in a "green" way. It leads to the new pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of wastes like glass, paper and plastics are produced. The waste problem is difficult to deal with.

However, today, people have realized the importance of buying and using environmentally- friendly products. More and more people are choosing "green" and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, "Will this soap be bad for the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"

Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8,129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are "green".

A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds of them. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products. The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business of them. The public will no longer accept the old idea of "buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." As a result, the companies have to take action.

Long long ago, there was a small village in the Middle East. In the village there was old man called Sthira. He lived by himself. His only son had gone far away to study. Sthira's friends

(wonder) whether his son would return, Sthira always said, "Whatever happens, happens for good."

One day the old man's son returned and the villagers were very happy for Stfiira. He thanked the villagers and said (polite), "Whatever happens, happens for good." However, later, Sthira's son broke his . Once again the villagers came to visit him and once again the old man thanked(they) and said, "Whatever happens, happens for good." Some of the villagers were surprised (hear) this. Why? What was good? His son's leg got badly hurt!

After a few days, the army came to the village and forced all the young men to the army. When they found his son had a (break) leg, they left him behind. Once again, all the villagers came to congratulate him on his luck. Like always, the old man was still thankful to them and said, "Whatever happens, happens for good."
