Unit 4 Sharing
Lately I have resigned from my present job and signed a contract with a secondary school for the disabled in a remote village.At first my parents opposed my decision, but now they are singing a different tune. For me, it is a privilege to teach in the school.Every day I am greeted by a chorus of “good morning”.The dusty clay huts act as classrooms, whose doorways are very narrow and there are no rubbers, tubes for chemical experiments or platforms.With the campus full of weeds, there are no washrooms.
Students don’t wear cotton uniforms.All the students’ housing is quite simple.The only possessions are saucers, fireplaces, kettles, pans, jars and grills with no modern furniture at all, not to mention tablets and other advanced devices that we take for granted.They eat ripe rice and they even don’t throw away leftovers.In my spare time, I do a circuit of the village to help those with disabilities and provide them with consultation. I want to relay to people that the disabled need help and I pray that more and more people can be volunteers and contribute to building a community with a shared future for all humankind.

她闭上眼睛,祈祷父亲能安全归来。狂风怒号,但在她心里,微弱的希望如黑夜中的烛光摇曳。
Closing her eyes, she prayed that her father would return safely. The wind howled, but in her heart, a fragile hope flickered like a candle in the night.
2. 她的双手紧握,指节发白。她祈祷着——不仅是祈求奇迹,更是祈求有勇气接受任何结果。
Her hands clasped together so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She prayed—not just for a miracle, but for the strength to accept whatever came next.
3. 她深吸一口气,祈祷信里的内容是生还的消息,而非噩耗。当她展开信纸时,纸张在她颤抖的手中微微晃动。
With a deep breath, she prayed that the words inside would bring news of survival, not loss. The paper trembled in her fingers as she unfolded it.
As soon as I received the mail from my colleague, I took a bus to the secondary school in the village. Dragging my parcel, I came to the hut where I was going to live. A ripe apple tree shaded the hut. At the doorway, my colleague welcomed me with a handshake. Before I could wipe the sweat off my forehead, we began to arrange the household items, such as the fireplace, kettles, pans, jars, saucers and grills. Then we cleaned up all the dust, and washed the dirty curtains. We made a platform of weeds to sleep on.In a word, we tried our best to improve our housing conditions.
At noon we ate the leftover jam for lunch. I had the privilege to teach my class chemistry. When I reached the school clay playground, I was greeted by a chorus of "good afternoon" from the boys who didn't wear cotton uniforms. There was no electricity, running water or even a washroom, not to mention laptops or tablets. All the students had were pencils, rubbers, and paper. In an experiment, the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube spilling everywhere. I tried to plug the tube, but I failed. The class at once became a circus. The whole classroom was in a mess.
The chemist was getting old, with a long beard on his jaw and many wrinkles on his face. He used to do things in a rigid and serious way. Being disabled, he asked to retire and resign from his present post. He has devoted his life to science and technology, and we take it for granted that he deserves national recognition. We pray that he will live a happy life.
My friend is a doctor. Lately, he has gone to Africa as a volunteer to help those who contracted infectious diseases. I have no objection to his going, but I am unhappy about his leaving without asking for my input. You may sing a different tune. My friend does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with disabilities, and provide consultation and training for local doctors. In addition, his team has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in China, and this has saved many lives. Today, I want to relay to you that I'm proud of what the Chinese medical team has done. By any criteria this work is worth doing, because it shows that we are global citizens interested in world stability.
