Last Saturday, I joined the city park volunteer team with my classmates. The sun was shining brightly, and we arrived at Green Lake Park early in the morning, excited to help. A park worker welcomed us and gave us tasks: some would clean the paths, some guide visitors, and my group was asked to collect litter near the lake.
Wearing red volunteer hats, we started working. At first, I saw a plastic bottle stuck in the plants. It was hard to reach, but I carefully pulled it out. My friend Li Hua found a bag of snacks left on a bench and threw it into the correct trash bin. After working for several hours, we were tired but happy.
Besides, preventing bad behaviors is also one of our activities. As we worked, we noticed some kids trying to feed the ducks with bread. We walked over gently and told them, “Ducks can get sick from too much bread. Let’s protect them together!” The kids nodded and said sorry, which made us feel proud.
By noon, the park looked cleaner, and the sky seemed bluer. We sat on the grass, smiling happily. I realized small actions can make a big difference. Being a volunteer isn’t just about working; it’s about caring for others and our environment. When we left, the park felt like a place where everyone shared responsibility.
This experience taught me that giving is also a form of harvest. I hope more people will join us, making our city parks not only beautiful but also full of love and warmth.

One day, one of the young men asked the fisherman, “It’s impossible to catch fish in these rapid waters. Why are you still here ” the fisherman said nothing, but picked up his basket and put it upside down. Suddenly a number of fish fell off the basket. These fish that were jumping up and down on the ground were so big and fat.
The young man was very surprised. Why did the fisherman catch such big fish in such a quick water
The fisherman smiled and said, “The low oxygen (氧气) in the lake is enough for small fish. But these big fish need to have more oxygen in water. They can only go somewhere with big waves. There’s more oxygen in the bigger waves, so the more big fish there.” Again the fisherman said, “Many people think that the places with big waves are not right for fish to live, so they choose to fish in a quiet deep lake. But they are just wrong. Strong winds and waves seem to be the suffering (磨难) for fish, but these sufferings are the best oxygen feeder for fish. Only through these hardships can fish grow well.”

9．根据文章“The young people thought the fisherman was silly. How could he catch fish in such big waves (波浪) It was wishful thinking.”以及“One day, one of the young men asked the fisherman, ‘It’s impossible to catch fish in these rapid waters.

What’s the fastest and most effective way to learn What’s the LEARNING PYRAMID’s secret to remembering what you learn
The “learning pyramid” suggests that most students only remember 5% from lectures (讲授). They remember 10% of what they read from textbooks, but get nearly 90% of what they learn through teaching others. The most common form of teaching others is Peer Tutoring (同伴辅导). It means that we teach each other and help each other. We like peer tutoring because it makes learning more exciting and it makes us feel like we are part of a team. To do peer tutoring we can take turns to the teacher one by one. The teacher explains a subject, and the student tries to understand it. If the student doesn’t get it right away, the teacher helps them understand it. It’s important to ask questions and give positive feedback (反馈) to each other. Then, they can both learn and have fun at the same time.
Peer tutoring is really good for our brains because it helps us remember things better. When we teach others, we have to think about it really hard to make sure we explain it right. And when others teach us, we need to listen carefully and try to understand what they’re saying. This helps us learn better.
So if you’re looking for a way to make learning more fun and effective, try peer tutoring!

The Forest’s Song
In a green village lived a girl named Mei Lin. Her grandmother taught her to care for the earth. “Listen to the wind’s voice,” she would say. “The forest shares old wisdom from our family’s elders.”
One morning, Mei Lin and her grandmother planted rice in the field. As they worked, Grandmother gently stopped Mei Lin from pulling up weeds (杂草). “Even small plants help the earth,” she explained. “They give homes to insects and make the soil healthy.” She showed Mei Lin how to remove only plants that stop the rice from growing. “Nature works like a team. When one part is hurt, all suffer.”
At lunch, they rested under an old tree. Grandmother pointed to birds making nests. “Long ago, people cut down too many trees. Birds flew away, insects ate our crops, and hunger came. Now we learn to protect trees and plant new trees. Then life returns.” Mei Lin nodded, “We should give back more than we take.”
Later, they visited a clean stream (小溪). “The stream has given clean water for hundreds of years,” Grandmother said. “We never poison (毒害) the land with chemicals and always clean our waste.” Mei Lin put flowers by the stream to say thank you.
That night, Mei Lin understood. People use sunlight to dry clothes, use wind power machines to get energy, and use rain for fields. “Nature gives us all we need,” she thought. “We just need to listen and protect.” From that day, Mei Lin became a nature guardian, teaching children to listen to the forest’s song.

Meanwhile, Kenichi Ohmae, a Japanese management expert, points out that those who can play will succeed in the end. Instead of doing negative activities like watching short videos, people with high LQ scores actively choose what they are interested in and what they are good at. In this way, they have good control over their life, know how to develop their talents and keep a balanced lifestyle.
Next time you find yourself with nothing to do, try following your interests and doing something new, instead of reaching for your phone.
