3 . Sara was sitting on the sofa and thinking about her birthday party. Because of the terrible storm, her parents decided to have the party next weekend. Sara didn’t understand why. They didn’t live near the ocean.

“Sara, you can’t sit there all day,” her mother said. “We’ll have your party next weekend.”

“It’s not the same. My birthday is today, not next weekend.” Sara turned on the TV. She wanted to watch anything that wasn’t about the storm. But just about every station was talking about it.   “I can’t even watch my favorite shows. This storm is ruining（毁灭）everything.” Her mother sat down next to her. “The storm is ruining a lot. Look at that. Those people are trying to save their houses. Could you imagine if we lost our home?”

Sara looked at what was happening on TV. The storm did look bad. She knew she’d be really sad if her family lost their home. “What’s going to happen to all those people? Will they be okay?” asked Sara. “Usually when there’s a big storm like this, people raise money and send food and other things to the homeless families. Some people even help rebuild houses.” “I want to help, too, ” said Sara. “Maybe I could give my birthday money away. Those people are going to need it more than me. ”

Her mother smiled. “I’m really proud of you, Sara. Helping others is a great way to weather（经受住）the storm. ”

5 . Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That’s why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt or worse. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely. If the fire station hadn’t come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.

And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? “The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary; we have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school, and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?

Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

7 . It was a cold and snowy morning after the winter vacation. Actually, it was my first day at my new school. I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was 7:00 in the morning and there weren’t many people on the road. A girl on a bike passed me quickly. She was riding on ice when suddenly she fell off her bike a few steps in front of me. She was trying hard to get up but fell once more. Without thinking, I went over and helped her stand up. She said, “Thank you,” with a smile and then rode away. The words “Thank you” warmed me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new school.

Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down beside a girl. I was so nervous. I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn’t dare to look at them. Soon the first class started. It was English. They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn’t have a copy. As I was wondering what to do, a book appeared in front of me. “Let’s share,” the girl next to me said. “And hi, I’m Carrie.” I looked up. It was the girl I helped that morning. What a surprise!

From then on, we became good friends. She was my first and best friend at my new school. Helping her also helped me find a friend.
