Last Saturday, I took part in a volunteer activity at the Suqian Children's Welfare Home. I was a little 11 at first because I didn't know what to expect. But when I arrived, the warm smiles of the children made me feel 12 right away.
We were divided into several groups. I was in the group that helped the children with their 13 . Most of the children were between 6 and 12 years old. They studied hard but some of them had 14 with their lessons, especially English and Maths.
I helped a little girl named Lily with her English. She was very shy and didn't dare to 15 in front of others. I encouraged her to read aloud and praised her every time she made progress. Slowly, she became more 16 . By the end of the morning, she could read a short English story by herself. I felt so 17 of her.
After lunch, we played games with the children. We sang songs, danced and told stories. The children were so 18 that they forgot all their worries. One little boy even gave me a drawing he had made. It was a picture of a sun and a rainbow, with the words "Thank you, dear sister" written at the bottom. I was deeply 19 .
When it was time to leave, the children hugged us and said goodbye. Some of them even cried. I promised them that I would come back to see them 20 .
On the way home, I thought a lot about the day. Volunteering is not just about 21 others. It's also about learning and growing 22 . I learned that even a small act of kindness can make a big 23 in someone's life. The children taught me to be more grateful for what I have and to always be kind to others.
I have decided to 24 volunteering in my free time. I hope more people will join us and help make the world a 25 place for everyone.

Have you ever imagined living in a smart home? With the development of technology, smart homes are becoming more and more common in our daily life. A smart home is a house that uses advanced technology to control and automate various systems, such as lighting, heating, security and entertainment.
In a smart home, you can control almost everything with your smartphone or voice commands. For example, you can turn on the lights before you get home, adjust the temperature of your house from your office, or even lock the door remotely. Smart homes also have security systems that can send you alerts on your phone if there is any unusual activity. Some smart homes even have cameras that allow you to check on your house while you are away.
Smart homes are not only convenient but also energy-efficient. They can automatically turn off lights and appliances when they are not in use, which helps save electricity and reduce your energy bills. Some smart homes can even use solar energy to power the house, making them more environmentally friendly.
However, smart homes also have some disadvantages. One of the biggest problems is privacy. Since smart homes collect a lot of data about your daily life, there is a risk that this data could be stolen or misused. Another problem is that smart home systems can be hacked. If a hacker gains access to your smart home system, they could control your lights, locks and even your security cameras.
Despite these disadvantages, the popularity of smart homes is still growing rapidly. Experts predict that by 2030, more than half of the homes in China will be smart homes.

In January, some special artworks were shown at the Lillian M. Jacobs School in Hull, Massachusetts. The sculptures are made entirely of rubbish collected by sixth-graders!
The school lies on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. In February 2024, the students spent a cold day cleaning up a nearly 1-mile area of Nantasket Beach. They collected more than 40 bags of rubbish.
“I often go to the beach and don’t notice the rubbish,” says Derek DeGallo, who is now a seventh-grader. “But when I looked for it, I realized how much there was.”
Every year, billions of pounds of rubbish end up in oceans all over the world. The students found many things on the beach, from fishing lines to old shopping carts. Most of it is plastic. This waste makes beaches dirty and can hurt sea animals—many get stuck in the plastic or eat it by mistake, falling ill.
After their beach cleanup, the students sorted the rubbish into groups like glass, plastic and foam and counted each piece of rubbish. They sent the data to the Center for Coastal Studies, an organization that helps protect the ocean near Massachusetts.
Then, a local artist named Jackie Ranney and the school’s teachers helped the students turn the rubbish into sculptures of fish and other sea creatures, like whales and seahorses. The artworks show people how important it is to take care of the earth.
“I hope kids see these artworks and think about how they use plastic,” says Ranney, the local artist. “They might ask themselves, ‘Do I throw away and recycle my rubbish in the right way?’”
Derek, now a seventh-grader, feels proud that he and his classmates helped stop rubbish from getting into the ocean.
“Our own town’s beaches are wonderful,” he says. “We want to make sure they stay clean.”
1. Why are some artworks shown at the Lillian M. Jacobs School special?
________________________________________________
2. What did Derek realize when he collected rubbish?
________________________________________________
3. How does rubbish hurt sea animals?
________________________________________________
4. What did students do after cleaning the beach?

5. What do you think about the students’ activities? Why?
