On 5 July this year, I was at home alone in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, playing an online game. I didn’t think a rainy Monday night would ever go wrong. Thunder (雷声) crashed in the distance as I sat on my sofa. Rain was dropping on the window and a cool wind blew on to my shoulders from the open window behind me.

At 10 p.m., I heard a thunder which was so loud that l thought it was an explosion (爆炸). Then it was as if something extremely heavy suddenly dropped on my body. I couldn’t move a little; then I felt hot and cold at the same time. Worse still, I felt heavy and faint. Next came the smell of burnt meat- I looked down at my right arm and saw that it was burning. I cried at once and rushed upstairs in shock and sharp pain to look for my neighbour, Aron, to get help.

He was frightened when seeing me and came to my rescue immediately, catching a wet towel (毛巾) over my arm and trying to judge what had happened. He ran to the living room, thinking the TV might have exploded, and was puzzled when everything seemed to be fine. He rang his doctor friends hurriedly, and they advised him to take me to the hospital in no time. I, too, was trying to find out what had happened, holding my arm in great pain as it continued burning. I couldn’t think straight and clearly because I felt at a loss totally till we got to the hospital. When we entered the emergency room, Aron said, “I think she might have been struck by lightning.”

Everyone in the room looked at me with concern and the room went quiet.

I was so lucky and grateful to survive the lightning strike.

Jason had a reputation as the messiest kid at Greenwood High School. His room was like a junkyard, with clothes tossed everywhere, empty chip bags on the floor, and half-finished sodas scattered across his desk. His mom, Susan, had stopped nagging (唠叨) him to clean up, hoping he himself would eventually get the hint. But instead, the mess just got worse.

Greenwood High School was famous for its creative projects, so when the headmaster Mr. Thompson declared a new “Labor Education” project, no one was too surprised. The idea was simple: teach students about hard work through real tasks. Jason wasn’t excited—he would rather play video games all day—but the project was a must; he had no choice.

Finally, the day of the project came. It was gray and overcast, matching Jason’s mood as he dragged himself into the school’s lecture hall with his classmates, yawning and complaining. Mr. Thompson stood on stage with a speaker. “Today, we’re going to learn the importance of labor!” he exclaimed. Jason rolled his eyes when he was assigned to the gardening group with his best friend, Mike. Their job was to clear out the school’s overgrown front lawn and plant new flowers. They shared a look that said it all—this was going to be a long day.

As they started weeding, Jason quickly discovered how hard physical labor could be. The weeds were stubborn, and the leaves seemed to multiply every time he raked (耙) them. His back ached, his arms felt like jelly, and his hands blistered. While stretching, eager to sneak in a break, he spotted Mr. Thompson standing afar with a big smile from across the yard, giving him a big thumbs-up.

After lunch, the group moved to build simple things like birdhouses for the garden in the school’s maintenance house. Jason had two left hands at first—his hammering was a mess— but he slowly got better. By the end of the session, he managed to make a crooked but decent-looking birdhouse. Carrying his newly-made birdhouse around, Jason proudly showed it off to his classmates.

When I was a high school student, I lived in an urban neighborhood, where opportunities to take part in agricultural activities were rare. My understanding of farming mostly came from what I had learned in books. I was a hard-working person, always eager for a chance to explore agriculture.

Finally, the opportunity I had been longing for arrived. Earth Day in the second year of my high school, my class organized a visit to a local farm to learn about farming. I was thrilled about the idea and couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with my parents. The next day, I went shopping for tools with my father, such as trowels, watering cans, gloves, and other necessary items.

On the day of the event, my classmates and I gathered at the meeting spot early in the morning. The weather was perfect, and everyone seemed particularly happy. Armed with our tools, we got into the car and headed off to our destination.

Upon reaching the farm, we were split into several groups by our teacher. One group was in charge of planting the seeds, one for watering the plots, and one for weeding and maintaining the farm. At the teacher’s signal, we all sprang into action.

However, it was the first time that many of us had participated in farming, so we were unsure where to begin. I was among them. Fortunately, our teacher was a knowledgeable woman with experience in farming. To guide us, the teacher began planting vegetables herself. After observing her method, we all joined in and got our hands dirty. In no time, we had planted a variety of vegetables. I paid close attention, keen on absorbing every detail. Eventually, I learned the skills of planting vegetables.

The experience was not just about learning how to plant; it was also about understanding the importance of sustainable living and the role each one of us can play in protecting our environment. It was a hands-on lesson that made a significant impact on me.

That year, I was 16 years old and my father had just passed away in that cold late autumn. There were no Thanksgiving celebrating plans in my family that year. To make ends meet, my mother worked two jobs as a cleaning lady, and I had a part-time job in the downtown. It was the Thanksgiving night and it was raining and blowing. The shops were closed and the streets were decorated with the colorful lamps for the grant festival. My shift at work was over and I waited for the bus alone in the station.

The wind blew my thin coat and threatened to tear my worn-out hand-knit hat that my mother had knitted for me years ago. Wearing a pair of discolored pants, I shivered against the cold wind, deep in thought about how my father’s death led to my family heart broken and how my mother and I struggled to work to support our family.

A bus approached as I thought these things. Fortunately, a seat on the bus was unoccupied and I took it with delight, placing my feet on the perfect spot close to the heater. I cherished the small comfort of the warmth as it seeped (渗透) through the bottom of my wet feet.

Then a gentleman, perhaps in his 60s, appeared from somewhere in the back of the bus. He wore a hat and a fine woolen scarf. Then he stopped and sat down next to me, placing a shopping bag between us. Through the transparent shopping bag under my nose, I vaguely saw a box with chocolate printed on it, a box with a music box printed on it, and a clothing-type thing. These must be the gifts for a certain girl and I also wished to get such gifts. When he noticed my stare, I looked away immediately and curled up to keep warm, or rather, to hide my embarrassment.

Last summer, Chen, a senior high school student, decided to give a surprise to his parents. He knew how hard they worked every day and wanted to help them by taking on some housework.

Chen wanted to try cooking for his parents. He chose a few special dishes that he knew his parents loved. His younger brother eagerly offered to help, and Chen agreed, keeping their plan a secret from their parents.

Chen and his brother started early. They went to the market to buy ingredients: vegetables, spices, and all the necessary items for their chosen dishes. When they returned home, they began to prepare the meal.

Chen and his brother were busy in the kitchen. They washed vegetables and meat, and prepared other ingredients with great care. They laughed and joked as they worked, enjoying the time spent together. Chen took the lead in mixing the sauces and controlling the heat while cooking, ensuring that everything was cooked well.

As the smell of the cooking filled the kitchen, Chen’s brother couldn’t contain his excitement. “This is going to be amazing! Mom and Dad will be so surprised,” he said with a happy smile. Chen smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment and expectation.

Finally, after hours of hard work, the dishes were ready. The kitchen was filled with a delightful smell. Chen and his brother carefully plated the dishes, making sure everything looked nice. They added a heartfelt thank-you card to the table, expressing their gratitude for their parents’ hard work and love.

When their parents arrived home and walked into the dining room, they were greeted by the sight of a beautifully set table and the food. Chen’s parents were surprised.

Chen and his brother smiled. “We wanted to thank you for everything you do for us,” Chen explained. “So we made dinner for you.”

Eva knew she’d have to swim on the “goat” again. The thought made her want to turn her bicycle around and head home, but she didn’t. She kept riding along the river toward Mr Kovar’s house for her swimming lesson.

Eva’s town had no public pools. The university had a pool, but it was only for swim teams. Eva had seen the pool when her brothers had been on the school swim team, and she is eager to swim in its blue water. But now, Eva and the other students had to learn to swim by lying on a piece of wood fixed on a sawhorse (锯木架). The sawhorse looked like a goat.

After Eva reached Mr Kovar’s house, he began his class. “Tell me the basic swimming way I have aught you!” Mr Kovar said. “Lie on my front; swing one arm over my head, and then the other arm. Meanwhile, kick the water,” Eva replied. Mr Kovar said, “OK. Now, practice. One hundred strokes (划水)!” Eva climbed onto the sawhorse and lay on her stomach but there was no water around.

Mr Kovar walked around Eva as she practiced her strokes. “Fingers together,” he said and tapped her hand. Next he tapped her head, saying, “Breathe only when you turn your head.” Finding Mr Kovar often looked unsatisfied, Eva became nervous. “Thirty-seven, thirty-eight,” Mr Kovar said, counting her strokes. Week after week, Mr Kovar counted and tapped. Each week, Eva tried to break her record for fewest taps.

One day, Mr Kovar said, “You’re ready to swim in the water.” “The university pool?” Eva asked happily. Mr Kovar said, “You cannot swim there unless you’re on a team. You cannot be on a team unless you pass my class. I cannot pass you until I see you swim in the water. You must first swim in the river.” “Is it safe?” Eva asked. The river was cold and muddy. “It’s safe if you’re a good swimmer,” said Mr Kovar. The next day Eva and her mother met Mr Kovar at the river.

When the sun rose one summer morning, Mark, a high school student, was riding his bike on the way to school as usual. He admired the attractive sights along the road with colorful flowers on both sides, and fresh air full of pleasant smell. It seemed to be a great day.

Mark was passing a park when he noticed an elderly woman walking about 100 meters ahead slowly falling down onto the ground. He felt his heart standing still with great concern. With nobody else around to turn to for help, Mark decided to ride over to see what was wrong with her for himself.

As he approached the old lady, he found her lying on the ground and looking pale and weak. Judging from her untidy clothes and messy hair, she might have been out for more than one day.

“Are you all right, Granny?” Shaking her arm, Mark asked anxiously. The old lady opened her eyes, a confused and lost expression on her face. She hesitated and then took a closer look. Immediately a big smile appeared on her face. Grasping Mark’s hand, she said with shining eyes, “John, there you are at last! My son, I’m hungry... hungry... Give me food...” She repeated, patting herself on the stomach.

Not knowing what to do, Mark anxiously asked her, “Granny, where is your home? Can you tell me who your son is?” But the old lady didn’t respond, only mumbling (嘟囔), “I’m hungry. Give me food, John.” Obviously, she mistook Mark for her son.

All of a sudden, Mark realized the old lady might be a patient with Alzheimer’s (痴呆症)disease because his own late grandpa used to suffer from such a condition. “She might have gone out without being noticed by her family. They must have been worried about her. Maybe they’re searching like crazy for her everywhere.” Mark thought to himself, “But she is so starved. I must give her some food before I get in touch with her family.”
