I felt no one cared about me.My mother and father were always busy working,so I was often at home by myself. I felt very lonely.As my parents worked so much,I had to clean the house and do all the shopping by myself. I was only a little happier at school when I was with my classmates and friends,I felt bored all the time and I felt sorry for myself. One day,on my way home from school, I saw a person living in the park. He was wearing dirty and worn-out clothes, and was holding a box in his hands, perhaps to sleep in at night. He gave me a big smile when he saw me. He looked as if he was the happiest man in the world. Looking at him, I realized how lucky I really was. I had a roof over my head. I had a comfortable bed. I had enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear. I had good friends at school and above all I had hard-working parents who really loved me and cared about me. I felt bad for feeling so sorry for myself. I realized how grateful I was to my parents for all that I had. (2)

We have a radio club in our school . It is great because it is run by the students for the school. I am lucky as I am one of the hosts.

It was started two years ago as CD players were not allowed in school . One day , I just began thinking about music for everyone, so I asked the headmaster if music could be played during break time. He approved the idea, and two years later I am the oldest student member of the radio club. Our club is much more than just music. Every morning we tell students about the weather and recent news, plus some special messages that the teachers want us to broadcast.

During exam time we have a special programme that tells students the things they should or shouldn’t do for preparation. At the end of the school year, many students who are graduating use our club to give message to their close friends and teachers.

When parents come to visit the school and talk to the teachers in the evening, we always play songs sung by students, and we also give special messages to inform the parents of events such as outings and school plays.

I’m graduating soon. I shall miss the radio club, but I know that it will continue without me. (Kate Jones)
