1 . Because of COVID-19, Rosa, a cleaner working in an apartment building for 20 years, lost her job. Recently, she got a great surprise from people living in the apartment building.
After Rosa lost her job, she had to live in her sister’s home. Although she couldn’t make money, she still went to work on time every day and the people in the apartment building said she was like a family member to them.
That day, Rosa believed that she had to clean an apartment in that apartment building. After she arrived there with her cleaning equipment (用具), a man took her into the apartment and they had a quick tour of it. She was shocked by the apartment as they went from room to room. It was the biggest apartment in the apartment building. When seeing the kitchen, Rosa said, “Hope the person likes cooking.” She truly loved the apartment.
Then the man gave her the keys. “I think you made a difference to the people here, so they want to give you something in return.” he said. “I have a contract (合同) here. All you have to do is sign (签字) and take the keys and this apartment will be yours for the next two years.” Hearing that, Rosa cried (哭) for joy.
Whatever you do, try your best. Your hard work may bring you good luck.

2 . 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 on 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.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
