(2026·梅州高二上学期期中)Last summer, I volunteered on a farm for a school project. I expected boring labor, but I met Ms. Anna, a woman now considered a pioneer of organic farming in our region.

Ms. Anna wasn't always an organic grower. What drove her to change was the sight of chemical pesticides turning the nearby creek grey and lifeless. Convinced that the land deserved better, she abandoned synthetic chemicals overnight. The first few seasons were harsh. Weeds fought back faster than vegetables, and yields dropped so sharply that neighbours laughed. Yet she refused to surrender, studying late into the night to design natural solutions.

She soon discovered that a field behaves like a miniature planet. Instead of a single cash crop, she created a mosaic of roots, shapes and colours: tall tomatoes climbing frames, low beans fixing nitrogen, and bright marigolds confusing pests. Why such apparent disorder is actually order became clear—each species paid rent in the form of nutrients or pollinators, keeping the soil rich without a gram of factory-made fertiliser.

To her, healthy earth was not a resource but a living community. Watching bees stagger drunk from blossom to blossom, she described them as “tiny winged farmers” working for free. Earthworms, she claimed, were unpaid ploughmen turning rubbish into black gold. What impressed me most was this ability to see the farm as an orchestra in which even the smallest insect had a solo worth protecting.

When my month ended, I realised agriculture was no longer a backdrop to dinner; it was a dialogue between humans and everything else that breathes. Ms. Anna, with her sun-tanned skin and calloused hands, was more than a grower; she was a guardian conducting a greener world, one seed at a time.

(2026·济南一中高二期中)My father, Michael, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which shocked the whole family as he was only in his forties.

Dad, a husband and father of three, had a successful career running a painting

studio and was always extremely creative.Even in the advanced stages of Parkinson's, my father decided to keep painting.In art lessons, the class practised painting still life objects, like pears, but my father had other ideas for his inspiration, beginning producing abstract pieces, explaining that it helped us to see the world differently.I realized he was right.Observing my father's works, I could interpret each of them in many ways.

Outside of work, he spent 15 years leading a band, Musical Chairs, which performed at the pub in Sydney's Double Bay each week.When I became a mother, he developed a very close bond with my daughter, Portia.Even after his diagnosis, his passion for music re{mained unwavering, and his love for Portia continued to grow stronger.

Unfortunately, he was later diagnosed with kidney cancer and given just three months to live.As months turned to years, my father seemed a walking miracle, but his health was suffering.Knowing that he wanted to share his paintings with the world, I decided to organize an exhibition for him.By then he had painted 660 works.

I hadn't done anything like this before.When I was younger, my father always told me, “Just say yes and then work out how to do it later，” so I figured this philosophy would guide me through difficult times.

So in October last year, we welcomed the public to “My Kids Could Do That”， my father's first public showing, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in Sydney.Everyone loved his works.I was thrilled to see Dad had found the confidence in calling himself an artist at last.His eyes lit up with pride, seeing the walls filled with his works.I've got three of his pieces in my home and I can't be more proud of what he has achieved.
