①Have you ever imagined a farm where machines do most of the work Thanks to high technology, farming is changing in amazing ways. Here’s how modern farming works.
②The key to smart farming is special tools and machines. Small machines in the soil check how much water and nutrients the plants need, telling farmers the best time to water or add nutrients. Flying machines go over the fields, taking pictures to find sick plants early. Smart computers in greenhouses change heat and light by themselves, helping vegetables grow faster.
③However, smart farming isn’t without challenges. High-tech machines cost a lot of money. Many small farms can’t afford them. Farmers also need to learn how to use these machines. In places with bad Internet, the smart tools might not work well.
④China is already doing well in this area. In Xinjiang, cotton farms use flying machines to water plants, saving half the water compared to old ways. In Shandong, farmers pick fruits by using smart machines, which work fast but never get tired.
⑤As you can see, high technology is so widely used in farming. We grow more food with less water and land by using smart tools. Will smart machines one day take the place of farmers completely in the future Probably not—but they’ll certainly make farming easier and greener!

Without Tom, I felt sad and lonely for several days. One day, while cleaning my room, I found the old toy car in my drawer. It reminded me of Tom, so I called him and felt less lonely. From then on, we promised to keep in touch and share our lives on the phone, as if Tom never moved away.

Hello, everyone! Volunteering is great! Our English club plans to have a volunteer activity on Saturday, June 28th. And its theme is "Small Lights Unite, Volunteer Together". We will go to Green Nursing Home. The old people there often feel lonely, so we want to cheer them up. We can talk with them, read newspapers for them and sing songs with them.
These small acts will brighten their day. Volunteering is not only meaningful for others but also enriches our own lives. Let's join this activity and spread love together!
