Do you know the “rocket (火箭) boy” His name is Yan Hongsen. He is an 11-year-oldstudent from Shaoxing, Zhejiang. The boy became interested in space science seven years ago. He even gave his classmates a lesson on space at school.
In the summer of 2022, Yan became famous after his father shared a video on the Internet. In it, Yan found that a rocket at a planetarium (天文馆) had the wrong name. Later, the workers of the planetarium thanked Yan for pointing out the mistake.
In the same year, Yan met Zhang Yuhua, an excellent woman in China's space field (太空领域). Yan learnt a lot from her and decided to build his own rocket. In August 2022, he began to make his first rocket. Finally, he completed it in June 2023.
“That rocket only flew 200 metres and then started to fall,” Yan's father said. That day, Yan was both excited and worried. He thought about what was wrong and how to improve (改进) his rocket. Last October, Yan started to build the second rocket.
Though people always say school comes first, Yan's parents still give their son enough time to follow his dream. While many kids of his age are crazy about games and toys, Yan spends most of his free time reading books and visiting science museums. He plans to build a rocket every year.

【参考范文】
Good morning, everyone! Floods often happen in summer. Today I’d like to talk about how to protect ourselves in the face of the flood.
During the rainy season, we should listen to the weather report more often. This can help us have enough time to get ready before the flood comes. Moreover, we need to prepare things such as water, food and so on in a bag. When we leave our home, we can take this bag and go out right away.
When a flood happens, we must move to higher places as quickly as possible, stay there and wait for rescue workers to come. If the flood washes us away, we shouldn’t try to swim in the water. Instead, we should calm down and catch something made of wood, because it can help us get out of the water.
All in all, we should be ready for the flood and keep calm during the flood.
