One possible version:
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I'm happy to hear that there is an empty area in our school for building a culture corner or a vegetable garden. In my opinion,it's better to build a vegetable garden. The reasons are as follows.
First of all, our country wants to carry out labour education.Second, students can work with their classmates in the garden to get their friendship closer. Third, working in the garden can help students learn farming skills. Fourth, a garden built on the empty land can harvest a lot of vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes,carrots and so on, which can save the cost of food for the school.Last but not least, students can form the habit of labour by planting vegetables.
This is not only good for the school, but also good for the growth of students.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
With the development of modern technology, the way of learning is changing. I think I still prefer the traditional learning in a classroom.
First, there is a fixed timetable. A clear plan is often made by a school, so I don't need to think about how to arrange when to learn different subjects. Second, we can have face-to-face conversations with both teachers and classmates. Third, there are colourful activities in class. In this way, I can learn the new knowledge happily. What's more, learning in the classroom can help me develop a sense of team spirit, so I can learn how to get along with others.
However, when I study in the classroom, sometimes I can't follow my teacher. And learning in the classroom can't provide enough resources for me to choose from.

A DIY bookmark for my favourite book
Last week I took part in our school’s Reading & Bookmark-making activity. Its goal was to help us enjoy reading our favourite book. My favorite book is the classic novel Journey to the West, one of the four great classical novels. I like Monkey King best because he helps the weak and never gives up.
In order to make a bookmark, I prepared a card, scissors, glue and so on. First, I cut the card into 2 long pieces. Next, I drew a picture of a monkey on the card. Then , I wrote a famous saying “Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.” on the the other side of the card in order to encourage me not to give up easily. At last/finally, I glued it to a thin piece of wood. A beautiful bookmark was complete! I put it into my favourite book at once.
Although I met some difficulties when making the bookmarks, I never gave up and I am proud of myself.

We made a cute wooden photo shelf together. We used wood pieces, glue, paint and a brush. First, we cut the wood into the right size. Then we glued the pieces together.
When the glue didn’t stick well, we asked the teacher for advice and added some coloured tape to hold it well. We also learned painting skills from each other.

Please include in your essay:
1. Who is this friend?
2. What is he/ she good at?
3. How did he/ she help you learn? (Tell a story)
4. Why is it good to learn from a friend?
My Friend, My Teacher
My best friend, Lily is not only a classmate but also a great teacher to me. She is excellent at English, especially spoken English—her pronunciation is clear and her conversations are natural.
I used to be afraid of speaking English in public. Every time the teacher asked me to answer questions, I would freeze up and forget all the words I had memorized. Knowing my trouble, Lily offered to help me. She suggested we practice English dialogues every afternoon after school. At first, I was too shy to open my mouth. Lily didn’t rush me; instead, she started with simple topics like "my favorite food" and "weekend plans". She patiently corrected my pronunciation and encouraged me to speak more confidently. Once, we had an English speech contest in class. I wanted to give up, but Lily spent three evenings helping me polish my speech and practicing with me. On the day of the contest, when I felt nervous, she gave me a thumbs-up and whispered, "You can do it!" Finally, I won the third prize—something I never thought possible.
Learning from a friend is truly wonderful. Friends understand our weaknesses better and make us feel more relaxed than teachers sometimes. We can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and their encouragement gives us more courage to keep trying. Just as the saying goes, "When three people walk together, one of them must be my teacher." Lily teaches me that with patience and support, we can overcome any difficulty. I’m grateful for her help, and our friendship grows stronger through learning together.

But we haven't been kind to her. We produce so much pollution that the air and water are getting dirtier. We cut down trees to grow crops, and it makes the birds homeless. We kill animals for food or clothes, so some animals are endangered.
I plan to protect nature in my own way. I' ll take shorter showers to save water. I' ll never buy clothes made from endangered animals. And I' ll encourage my family and friends to recycle. Small actions can lead to big changes. Let's protect nature together.
Thank you
