One possible version:

V olunteer spirit is rooted in the hearts of many people, especially young people in China. In recent years, there have been large numbers of volunteers devoting their time and effort to people in need.

The picture shows us a touching moment when two volunteers help a disabled man in a wheelchair. Realizing it would be impossible for the man to get to the top all by himself, the volunteers carry the wheelchair with difficulty step by step up the stairs.

This picture reminds me of many volunteers in my school, my community and our country, helping not just the disabled, but also those who can’t find their way around, or those who suffer from misfortune. V olunteers make a difference to these people when they bring them warmth, comfort and relief.

I would be happy to be a volunteer, too, and help the senior citizens in the House for the Aged regularly so that they will not feel lonely but enjoy their life to the full.

M: What are you reading about in that science magazine?

W: There are several interesting articles in it. I’ve just finished reading one about cloning.

M: I don’t like the idea of that. I don’t want people to copy me or any other people. It could be very confusing.

W: According to the article, you have no real need to worry. Research nowadays is focusing on cloning parts of a human body to replace damaged or lost parts, not on recreating a whole human being.

M: If so, we can benefit from it.

W: In this article, scientists say that if you took the genes from someone and tried to create a copy of a person, there’s no guarantee that the copy would look or act like the original!

M: Really? What else have you discovered?

W: I read about how scientists are using material from plants and animals to create new medicines. M: That’s great, because it uses natural materials rather than ones that scientists make themselves.

I prefer natural medicines to man-made ones.

W: It wasn’t that bad and we went to an excellent restaurant.
