Passage:
Last year, I went to a small village in China to help the children there. The village was very poor, and the children didn't have enough food and clothes. When I arrived, I was shocked by the living conditions of the villagers. The houses were made of mud and straw, and there was no electricity or running water.
I spent a month there, teaching the children and helping them with their daily lives. I taught them English, mathematics, and other subjects.
