Everyone has some unforgettable experiences.
Last Monday, there was a serious earthquake in Sichuan Province. Many people were killed. A large number of houses collapsed. I was shocked. When I saw these pictures on TV, my eyes were filled with tears. I wanted to do something for the people in the disaster areas.
Two days later, in front of the library of our school, almost all of the teachers and students came to donate money.

I was moved. I thought although I couldn’t go to Sichuan like the soldiers and the doctors, I still wanted to try my best to help them. I took out all my pocket money and put it into the donation box.
