Then the teacher said, “Don’t worry about your marks for this test. I just want you to think about your life. The white paper is like your whole life and the black dot in the centre of the paper represents(代表) problems in your daily life. Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care.

I work as a volunteer for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.
Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”
After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said, “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.
But the exciting moment occurred in a village(村庄) deep in the mountains. I was talking to a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the head of the village.
Learning her story, Brain was greatly moved. His eyes were wet and there was love on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.

66．例文一
Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join the Travelling Club.
First, let me introduce myself. I am a Grade 8 student at Happy Middle School. In my free time, I enjoy a fun day out.
The journey to the World Park is a meaningful experience. When I arrived there, the whole world was there in front of me. I saw models of more than a hundred places of interest from all over the world. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was an amazing day because I saw the main sights of the world in just one day. I learnt a lot about different cultures. As an old saying goes, “Travelling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books!” This is one reason why I want to join the Travelling Club. What’s more, I’d like to join the Travelling Club not only because it can make me feel happy but also because it can give me a good chance to learn more about the world around us.
If I can become a member of the Travelling Club, I will take an active part in different outdoor activities. I also encourage more classmates to join the club and help more people learn more about the world around us. Please e-mail me at Sally @happy.com.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Sally
例文二
Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join the DIY Club.
First, let me introduce myself. I am a Grade 8 student at Happy Middle School. I enjoy making something new. I am crazy about doing DIY jobs.
Last week, I made a birthday card for my mum by myself. First, I took out a piece of clean white card and drew a beautiful picture on it. Then I cut out a picture of colourful balloons or flowers with scissors and stuck it on the cover. I felt excited when it was finished. In my opinion, doing DIY jobs not only provides me with a good chance to learn something new but also helps me save money.
I will be happy if I can become a member of the DIY Club. I want to learn more about DIY in the club. When I am free, I will also take a course in DIY so that I can help my neighbours fix things like broken bikes. If you want to contact me, you can call me on 010-555866390.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Sally
例文三
Dear Chairperson,
I would like to join the Animal-protecting Club.
First, let me introduce myself. I am in Grade 8 at Happy Middle School. I enjoy the natural world. I am interested in learning about animals.
I like little animals. Once on my way home, I found a sick cat lying on the road. I took it to the animal centre at once. I fed it cat food and brushed its fur. When it got well, I kept it as my pet and played with it together happily.
Sadly, I learn that many wild animals are in danger now. It’s time for us humans to do something to save them. I want to join the Animal-protecting Club and do something meaningful for them. For example, we can make laws to prevent people killing wild animals and build more nature reserves for them to live in.
If I can become a member of the Animal-protecting Club, I will actively take part in all kinds of activities to help people understand the importance of protecting animals. You can e-mail me at Sally @happy.com.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Sally

The white paper is like your whole life and the black dot in the centre of the paper represents(代表) problems in your daily life. Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care.

I work as a volunteer for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. I decided to take my son Brain there for a week, hoping to educate(教育) him.
Before getting out, I told Brain this trip would be tiring and hard. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. Then on the third day, when we were climbing over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and smiled, “Really hard.”
After that, a five-year-old girl, wearing a too large dress and broken shoes, followed Brain around. Later he said, “I wish I could speak French.” I was surprised that this was from a boy who always hated French classes.
But the exciting moment occurred in a village(村庄) deep in the mountains. I was talking to a woman villager for an article. By working hard, she had learned to read and write and became part of the head of the village.
Learning her story, Brain was greatly moved. His eyes were wet and there was love on his face. He finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Brain even offered to stay in as a volunteer. This trip was very meaningful.
