Last Sunday, our school organized a “Clean the Park” activity. All the students in our class took part in it with great enthusiasm. We gathered at the school gate 1 eight in the morning, and everyone was in high spirits. The park wasn’t far from our school, so it took us about 2 minutes to reach there. When we arrived, volunteers were already working 3 to collect rubbish scattered around.
Our teacher divided us into groups. My group was assigned to clear the lakeside area. The work was quite tiring, but 4 of us wanted to give up. We all believed we were doing 5 meaningful. While we were working, we noticed several children throwing bottles into the lake. We politely told them to stop, explaining that they 6 respect and protect nature as well. To our delight, they soon joined us in cleaning.
After two hours, the park looked much 7 than before. The flowers seemed brighter, and the fresh air filled us with energy. Our teacher then asked us to write down 8 short reflections on the experience. She said it was essential to think about what we had learned. I wrote that teamwork could make 9 difference.
Before leaving, we took 10 walk around the park to enjoy the peaceful scenery. There was a smile of satisfaction on everyone’s face. It was truly one of 11 unforgettable days I’ve ever had, and we agreed to organize another activity 12 next month.
Our teacher reminded us to put rubbish into bins 13 we visited public places. She also encouraged us 14 take care of nature as we take care of ourselves. When I got home, my parents were proud of me. “Good job,” Dad said, “I believe you all 15 a lot from this activity yesterday.”

Last Sunday, our school organized a “Clean the Park” activity. All the students in our class took part in it with great enthusiasm. We gathered at the school gate 1 eight in the morning, and everyone was in high spirits. The park wasn’t far from our school, so it took us about 2 minutes to reach there. When we arrived, volunteers were already working 3 to collect rubbish scattered around.
Our teacher divided us into groups. My group was assigned to clear the lakeside area. The work was quite tiring, but 4 of us wanted to give up. We all believed we were doing 5 meaningful. While we were working, we noticed several children throwing bottles into the lake. We politely told them to stop, explaining that they 6 respect and protect nature as well. To our delight, they soon joined us in cleaning.
After two hours, the park looked much 7 than before. The flowers seemed brighter, and the fresh air filled us with energy. Our teacher then asked us to write down 8 short reflections on the experience. She said it was essential to think about what we had learned. I wrote that teamwork could make 9 difference.
Before leaving, we took 10 walk around the park to enjoy the peaceful scenery. There was a smile of satisfaction on everyone’s face. It was truly one of 11 unforgettable days I’ve ever had, and we agreed to organize another activity 12 next month.
Our teacher reminded us to put rubbish into bins 13 we visited public places. She also encouraged us 14 take care of nature as we take care of ourselves. When I got home, my parents were proud of me. “Good job,” Dad said, “I believe you all 15 a lot from this activity yesterday.”
