During the memorable experience, I spent quality time helping the elderly with daily tasks and offering companionship to them. Additionally, we also arranged some interactive activities, including staging singing and dancing performances, which eased their loneliness and brought a sense of warmth. This experience served as a reminder of the power of spreading kindness and supporting those in need. What a rewarding and impressive experience to see that I was making a difference to their lives! Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分 25 分） One possible version: With renewed courage, Daniel began to prepare for the competition. Immersed in the world of words and ideas, he rose early, referring to books and practicing his speech every day, with his voice echoing through the quiet house. He also stayed up late, polishing his message. He felt his confidence grow as he mastered the art of public speaking. He stood in front of the mirror, his voice growing increasingly strong with each repetition. The words that once stumbled on his tongue now flowed with ease. With time going by, he was fueled by the belief that he could achieve what once seemed impossible. The day of the competition arrived. Waiting backstage, Daniel felt his heart pounding in his chest and nervousness surging through him, which almost weakened his resolution. Closing his eyes, he recalled the acorn’s silent strength and his mother’s words. With the image of the strong oak guiding him, he stepped on the stage, ready to embrace his moment in the spotlight. He delivered his speech in clear, persuasive and infectious language, which surprised even himself. Thunderous applause lingering in the room, Daniel knew he had proved himself, stepping out of the shadows and into the light. 听力原文： Text 1 W: I thought you might like to come to my party.

Text 10 The “laugh out loud” face is officially the world’s most popular emoji, according to researchers from Adobe who surveyed 7,000 users across the US, the UK, Germany, France, Japan and Australia. The “thumbs up” emoji came in second, followed by the “red heart” emoji. The “wink and kiss” and “sad face with a tear” emojis respectively rounded out the top five. The software maker released the findings from its 2021 Global Emoji Trend Report ahead of World Emoji Day. Adobe’s latest report also examined the three most misunderstood emojis in the world. The “eggplant” symbol won the “peach” and the “clown” emojis respectively by a neck as the most confusing for users. 90% of emoji users believe the modern-day hieroglyphs make it easier for them to express themselves. 89% of respondents said emojis simplify communicating across language barriers. And 67% said they think people who use emojis are friendlier, funnier and cooler than those who don’t. 50% of respondents said they are more comfortable expressing emotions through emojis than talking on the phone or in person. 55% of global emoji users said using emojis in communications has positively impacted their mental health. 76% of those surveyed said emojis are an important communication tool for creating unity, respect and understanding. And 88% said they feel more empathetic toward people who use emojis.
