Unit 1 What's the matter?
My Unforgettable Experience of Helping Others.
Last week, on my way home from school, I saw an old man lying on the side of the road. At first, I was a little scared, but then I remembered what we had learned about first aid in class. I quickly ran over to him.
I asked him what was the matter. He said he had a pain in his chest and could hardly breathe. I immediately took out my mobile phone and called 120. While waiting for the ambulance, I tried to make him feel more comfortable.
I loosened his collar a little and told him to relax.
Soon, the ambulance arrived. The medical workers praised me for my
quick reaction. I felt very proud of myself. This experience made me
realize that it is very important to learn some first - aid knowledge. It can not only help us in case of emergency but also enable us to help others.
Unit 2 I'll help to clean up the city parks.
Volunteering in the Community.
I am a student who loves to volunteer in my community. There are many things I can do to make our community a better place.
Last month, I joined a group of volunteers to clean up the local park. We divided into several small groups. Some of us picked up the rubbish on the ground, like plastic bottles, waste papers and cigarette butts. Others wiped the benches and the public facilities. It was a tiring job, but we
all felt very happy when we saw the park becoming clean and beautiful again.
In addition to cleaning the park, I also often help the elderly in our community. I go to their homes and read newspapers for them or just have a chat with them. They are always very glad to see me.
Volunteering makes me understand that even a small act of kindness can make a big difference. It also enriches my life and makes me more responsible. I will keep on volunteering in the future.
Unit 3 Could you please clean your room?
Family Chores and Responsibilities.
In every family, doing chores is an important part of family life. It helps to keep the house clean and tidy and also teaches us a lot of things.
I used to be a lazy boy/girl who didn't like to do any chores. I always left my room in a mess. My clothes were everywhere, and there were a lot of books and toys on the floor. My mother was always angry with me because of this.
One day, my mother had to go out for a few days. She told me that I had to take care of myself and keep the house clean. At first, I was a bit reluctant, but then I realized that it was my responsibility. I started to clean my room. I made my bed, put away my clothes, and organized my bookshelves. It took me a long time, but when I saw my clean and tidy room, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Since then, I have become more responsible. I often help my mother with other chores, such as washing the dishes and sweeping the floor. I understand that doing chores is not only about keeping the house clean, but also about showing love and respect for our family members.
Unit 4 Why don't you talk to your parents?
Communication with Parents.
Good communication between parents and children is essential for a happy family. However, in modern society, there are often some problems in the communication between parents and children.
I once had a problem with my parents. I really liked playing computer games, and I spent a lot of time on it. My parents were worried that it would affect my study, so they forbade me to play computer games. I was very angry at that time and didn't want to talk to them. I thought they didn't understand me.
But later, I realized that I should communicate with them. I sat down with my parents and told them that I knew the importance of study, but playing computer games was also a way for me to relax. I promised them that I would control the time of playing games and make sure it wouldn't affect my study. My parents listened to me carefully and finally agreed to let me play games for a certain time on weekends.
This experience made me understand that when there are differences between parents and children, we should communicate actively. Only by talking to each other can we understand each other's thoughts and feelings, and solve problems effectively.
Unit 5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came?
A Rainstorm Experience.
Last summer, there was a sudden rainstorm in my hometown. It was an unforgettable experience.
When the rainstorm came, I was walking in the park with my friends. At first, we just felt a few drops of rain, but within minutes, the rain
became heavier and heavier. The wind was also blowing strongly. We quickly ran to a nearby pavilion to take shelter.
Looking out from the pavilion, we saw the trees in the park being blown by the wind. Some small branches were even broken off. The rain was pouring down like a waterfall, and the ground was soon covered with puddles. There were also some people who were caught in the rainstorm on their way home. They were running hurriedly.
We waited in the pavilion for about half an hour until the rainstorm gradually subsided. When we walked out of the pavilion, we found that the park looked different. There were fallen leaves and branches everywhere. This rainstorm made me realize the power of nature. It also made me cherish the sunny days more.。
