Hands up, who’s rubbish at drawing Ha! Bet you’re not as bad as me.
Like most during lockdown, I missed being in familiar green city spaces. A quick snap (照片) on my phone never quite captured (拍摄) the moment. So I was excited to find “green sketching” sessions near my home. This seemed a perfect Covid-safe activity, even for the untalented.
Our group was all women, with some having had previous artistic training. We were given art supplies and then set drawing exercises to help us get creative.
This type of art, “green sketching”, was inspired by environmental scientist Dr Ali Foxon. Ali thought that spreading the joy of sketching could be the key to making people care about nature instead of just wordy reports. She launched her movement, Boggy Doodles (沼泽涂鸦), in 2016.
The day we were there the forest was glorious – all gold, yellow and brown. We spent the last hour trying to capture a forest scene. Hoping not to embarrass myself too much, I made a real effort to catch the dark and brighter areas of the trunks (树干), their textures (纹理). I used an eraser to create the white shape of a silver tree in the distance. Mine looked more like a winter scene – I hadn’t managed to capture the autumn leaves or the branches. But when the five of us brought our work together at the end, I wasn’t too ashamed (感到羞愧): mine was only just the worst.
I had loved this chance for a real and physical creative experience – I can’t be the only one to feel sad at the prospect of a new lockdown. Sketching calms a busy, anxious mind and trains the brain to notice “little things” that spark joy and help strengthen us against life’s challenges. While engaging with nature may well make us keener (更热衷于) on protecting it – in Robert Macfarlane’s words, “We will not save what we do not love – and we rarely love what we cannot name or do not see” – the benefits of sketching work the other way round.

参考答案：
I took part in “green sketching” sessions during the lockdown, even though I was bad at art. This activity was inspired by an environmental scientist who believed in the power of sketching in environmental protection. I enjoyed the experience of drawing in the forest. It helped me calm down during lockdown and pay attention to the little things that spark joy. Overall, connecting with nature can strengthen our awareness to protect it.

I bought the most delightful tangerine (柑橘) yesterday. It was plump and firm. At this wintry and white time of year, I wanted color and juice. When I bit into that perfect tangerine, I tasted happiness and an explosion of memory. Nearly 30 years ago, my family spent several months in India. We were tired during one of our trips and were covered in a fine layer of dust. We quite enjoyed our cheap train meals, but everything looked brown. Even the landscape looked dry. The dust and noise were getting to us.
Suddenly the train pulled into a rare area of green, and colorfully dressed women carrying oranges came aboard. These oranges were covered in a film of cool moisture (潮湿), and they breathed fresh air into our train car. They were spectacular (令人惊叹的). The women were beautiful and so were the oranges. Suddenly there was color and sweetness and moisture and a female presence that gave life and hope.
We bought a dozen and spent the rest of our trip eating the most delicious oranges we had ever tasted.
They reminded me of another orange experience that I had had when I was an art student. These oranges were in Toronto, in an area I lived close to. I had caught a glimpse (一瞥) of a Chinatown. There were grocers (杂货店) and cooking supply shops. And there were navel oranges (脐橙) ... huge fresh and firm oranges whose peels almost fell off before your eyes. I have never seen oranges like them again. Maybe these oranges truly no longer exist. Were they a product of the times
There was also an old fish-and-chip shop. They had an old orange juice machine that put orange juice into glass bottles. It was very refreshing when drunk with your order. The fish and chips were wrapped up (包裹) in newspaper. I loved it all.
Sigh.
So much has changed since then. I am no longer a young art student. There is a pandemic. Hustle and bustle don’t exist for the moment.But oranges and fish and chips still do. Tiny pleasures are so good.

参考答案：
A bite of the tangerine I bought yesterday transported me back to decades ago. On a tiring and dull part of a trip in India, my family was cheered up by some women carrying oranges. We bought some from them and loved the taste. Also, I remembered navel oranges I caught sight of in a Chinatown in Toronto and the orange juice in a fish-and-chip shop there. Things have changed much since then, but these memories stay in my mind.

My brother and I were driving home together and started talking. Because of this distraction, my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us toward a bridge and, we had no way of turning back. My brother had to pay to cross. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
As we drove forward, my brother noticed a beat-up (破旧的) black Mustang (福特野马汽车) pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire.
My brother helped him change the flat. We started getting to know the young man who was from a rough (危险的) neighborhood nearby. He said that this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 to try to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.”
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his annoyance over the mistake into positive energy. He was able to see a chance to help (which I totally missed!) even in an otherwise negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross.

Focused on our conversation, my brother took a wrong turn when driving. He felt depressed about the mistake. However, when we came across a driver in need of help, my brother didn’t hesitate to lend him a hand. When the driver thanked us, we thanked him for allowing us to turn our unexpected mistake into an opportunity to help. I admired what my brother had done – he was able to help even in a negative situation.
