四、任务型阅读
When I was in primary school, I was afraid to speak in front of others. I thought my ideas were not good enough, so I never shared them in class. But everything changed when I entered junior high school.
My new English teacher encouraged us to share our thoughts freely. One day, we had a discussion about how to make our school more beautiful. At first, I was quiet, but then I remembered how I loved planting flowers in my garden. I raised my hand and suggested we plant more flowers and trees around the school.
To my surprise, my classmates liked my idea. We worked together to plan the project. We asked the school to give us seeds and tools, and we spent our after-school time planting. Soon, our school was filled with colorful flowers and green trees.
This experience taught me that everyone’s ideas matter. Now, I am not afraid to speak up. I often join in group discussions and share my creative thoughts. I believe that even small ideas can make our school and our world better.

例文
The Power of Creative Ideas
Last term, our class needed to decorate our classroom for the school festival, but we had very little money. I felt stuck and didn’t know what to do. Then I got a creative idea: using old magazines and waste paper to make colorful paper flowers and paintings.
We collected all the old materials we could find and worked together. In the end, our classroom looked beautiful and won the first prize. This experience made me realize that creative ideas can solve problems even when resources are limited.
I believe that everyone has creative power. In the future, I will keep thinking differently and use my ideas to make a difference in my life and the lives of others.
