四Writing:(范文)
No.1 Middle School is proud of three students. They are Sandy,Simon and Daniel. Every week they work as volunteers at different places . Sandy enjoys reading. She spends one month reading together with the students in a primary school. Simon likes animals best, and he often goes to an animal hospital. In the hospital he learns how to look after the sick animals. Daniel has a sweet voice. As a result, he spends much of his free time singing for the patients in the hospital.
They all think what they are doing is right. How great it is to be a volunteer!
