Dear fellow students,
Our school has turned an unused lawn into a labor practice garden. It’s a wonderful place for us to
engage in various activities ranging from planting vegetables, tending flowers, maintaining the plots to
even harvest what we grow.
This garden is more than just a space for labor. Not only does it give us a rare glimpse at the sheer
joy of working with our hands but we could also gain an insight into the value of food, as well as
develop a sense of responsibility. Additionally, it offers us a precious chance to relax from burdensome
study and enjoy nature.
Let’s join in the labor practice! Together, we can make the garden thrive and gain meaningful
experiences.(106 words）

One possible version:
To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very
story we need to attract more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this
article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm
it would cause to the player and our paper’s reputation. After some heated discussion, Ashley finally
gave in, “OK, let’s try with real stories.” Then I went to gather all the necessary information to write an
article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over the years. (88 words)
On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the frontpage. Soon, it
went viral among students. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted
by the fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even
requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story’s success, Ashley came to me and
said sincerely, “You are right! It’s a good story.” Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment.
Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but have the power to touch and connect. (89
