Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied. Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.

The best thing I like about our uniform is the style, especially the shirts and sweaters,” said fourth grade Clifton Harris. ◆“It helps save parents’ money,” a mother said. ◆“I think uniforms help students focus on their studies rather than their clothes,” Megan Mannion said. Her school, Rankin Elementary School, has had a uniform policy since 1998. No! ◆“I think students should choose their own clothing styles, rather than be told to wear a specific uniform,” fifth grade Kaylie Vilayvong said.

Most schools offer uniforms at a price between ＄16 and ＄26. “What’s the school going to do for people who can’t afford them?” asked a father. ◆“Adults make their own clothing choices and are free to express themselves through their look,” a teacher said. “Students should be allowed to choose their own clothing, too.” 21.

My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied. Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother. One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river. Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside. Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city.
