john was the most famous troublemaker in his town. he didn’t answer questions and got into lots of fights. he had failed almost every class by the time he got to high school. everyone thought he was hopeless.

i met john for the first time at a weekend training program. all the students at school had been invited to the program which aimed to help them become more active in their communities. at the start of the training, john was standing outside the circle of students. he didn’t readily join the discussion groups and didn’t seem to have much to say. but slowly, the discussion drew him in. john had some great ideas and other students in his group welcomed his comments. all of a sudden, he felt like a part of the group, and before long he was treated like a leader.

two weeks later, john and his friends led a group of 70 students to collect food for the needed. they collected a school record: 2,854 cans of food in just two hours.

john started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. he led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the community homeless shelter. the local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article.

the wise man always wore white, and so he went to the market and bought a white rob and wore it every day. the wise man was a vegetarian, and so he stopped eating meat and replaced it with a diet of vegetables. he followed the wise man’s example in everything he did and was quite sure that he was getting closer to becoming a wise man.

after some time, the wise man noticed these changes in his student’s behavior and asked him why. “i am learning to be just like you,” came the reply. “the white color of my clothes shows the simplicity of my search, the vegetarian food keeps my body clean.”

smiling, the wise man took him to a field where a horse was eating grass. “you have spent all this time looking outside yourself, which is what matters least,” he said. “do you see that creature there? he has white skin, eats only grass. do you think he will one day become a wise man?”

it was extremely cold last monday morning. while i was walking on my way to school, i noticed two street cleaners sweeping the street in the fierce wind. seeing them working so hard on such a cold morning, i was moved and made up my mind to do something for them.

after arriving at school, i discussed with some classmates what we could do. some suggested helping with the cleaning while others advised getting some hot porridge to keep them warm. finally, we all agreed on the latter.

the next day, we got up early and prepared porridge at home. when we handed the cleaners the hot porridge and expressed our appreciation for their hard work, they looked a little surprised at first. and then they took the porridge and thanked us happily. though it seemed cold still, we all felt warm at the moment.

questions:

1. what was the weather like last monday morning?

2. what agreement did we reach at school finally?

3. what were the street cleaner’s reaction?

today some classmates and i served at capital library as volunteers. at 9 o’clock this morning, we gathered together at the gate of the library. after getting into the library, we were first trained by a librarian on how to operate the computers to borrow or return books so that we could help readers later. then, wearing the volunteer uniform and volunteer identity card, we got down to our work. some of us helped with shelving books and some offered assistance to the people who had problems with using the computers. all of us took our tasks seriously and tried to do them well.

time passed quickly. before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye to the staff. on the way back, we shared our feelings happily. when doing voluntary work, we did our part in helping others. meanwhile, it promoted our social awareness. we all believe volunteering is rewarding and look forward to more of it.

last sunday, i went to beijing olympic forest park with my friend chris. as soon as we got there, we were so attracted by the breathtaking scenery that we couldn’t help taking many photos to record the beautiful moments. as we walked on, we noticed a kite hanging up on a branch, but its owner, a little boy, was too short to get it down. the boy looked worried and we decided to help him. unluckily, the kite was also beyond our reach. then we looked around and found a stick, with which we got the kite down. we gave the kite back to the boy. he was very delighted and thanked us for what we did. we also felt very happy and it made our outing more enjoyable.

the new term began and the school clubs were looking for new members.

last week, we were attracted by a poster, saying all the clubs would gather on the sports field during the lunch break on friday and we could join the club we like. everyone was excited about it.

after lunch on friday, we crowded onto the sports field. i was amazed at the number and variety of the clubs: the cartoon club, the guitar club, the basketball club and so on. it was not easy to make a choice. but i decided to join the basketball club, because i love sports. i signed up and so did some other students who shared my interest. in the end, we took a picture together, smiling and happy as if we had been friends for a long time.

i believe my school life will be more interesting because of basketball and new friends.

3. after signing up for the basketball club, what did we do?
