From carving to caring: Gabriel’s journey of hope
Gabriel Clark, a teenage boy from the Lake District in England, gained over 250,000 followers after his parents promoted his once-called “uncool” wooden carvings.Thanks to their encouragement, his talent got the attention it deserved①.
Gabriel had been taking orders for his wooden carvings, but the number of requests quickly grew to such an extent that he realized it would take him over 30 years to complete all of them.So, he decided to sell just one special carving: a wooden bowl decorated with three different colours.Gabriel set up a fundraising (募捐) page on JustGiving, where he raised money for Save the Children, whose mission② is to improve the lives of children around the world.His goal was to aid③ children affected by the war in Ukraine, promising to choose one donor to receive the bowl as a thank-you gift.
Since Gabriel started the fundraising campaign, over 14,000 people have donated④ money, even after the winner of the bowl was announced.Gabriel’s original goal was to raise ￡5,000, but he was amazed when the donations reached almost ￡250,000.He said, “I really hope everyone’s generosity⑤ can help children in Ukraine.”
Thanks to Gabriel’s efforts, many children’s lives will be improved by the funds⑥ raised for Save the Children, which will provide essential⑦ supplies to children in Ukraine.
This story shows how one young person’s idea can grow into something much bigger, bringing hope and support to children in need.

The Well That Changed the World
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing① the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water[1].He looked across② the classroom at the drinking fountain③.It was very close—only ten steps away.So, Ryan asked himself,“Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometres to get water every

At first④, his plan was to earn money⑤ to build a single well somewhere in Africa.He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours.He soon reached his first target⑥ of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well[3].Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump.[4] Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children.What they needed was a well dug near their homes.[5]

[4]Seventy dollars表示金额的名词短语作主语时,通常将其视为一个整体,谓语动词常用单数。

Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up⑦.He was determined⑧ to help other children have clean water.He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded⑨ them to donate⑩ money.At the same time , a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public .After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda[6].The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water.They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.

[7]该句是情感描写句,描述了Ryan因自己的努力带给别人恩惠而感到喜悦。
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help.Many inspired people gave him their support.Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people,so the work of building more wells can go on.Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help ”, but “How can I help today ”[8].This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality .
[8]that引导宾语从句,to ask 作定语修饰the question;not...but...“不是……而是……”。

改变世界的井
六岁的加拿大男孩瑞安听老师说,非洲发展中国家的许多人无法获得足够的清洁水,对此他感到难以置信。他看着教室对面的饮水机。饮水机离他很近——只有十步之遥。于是,瑞安问自己:“为什么有些非洲孩子不得不每天步行10千米去取水 为什么水那么脏,以至于让他们生病 ”年轻的瑞安想,“生活对我来说很容易,但对那些人来说很难。为什么我不帮忙 ”
起初,他的计划是挣钱在非洲某地建一口井。他为家人和邻居擦窗户、打理花园。他很快就达成了他的第一个目标——挣70美元。但当他把钱捐给一个慈善机构时,他被告知建一口井实际上需要2 000美元。70美元只够买一个手摇泵。瑞安知道手摇泵帮不上孩子们的忙。他们需要的是在家附近挖一口井。
2 000美元是一大笔钱,但瑞安没有放弃。他决心帮助其他小孩获得清洁水。他开始向他的同学和邻居求助,并说服他们捐款。同时,瑞安母亲的一个朋友帮忙,将他的故事公之于众。几个月后,瑞安筹集了2 000美元,用这笔钱在乌干达的一所小学附近建了一口井。学校的孩子们不再需要步行几个小时去取水。他们很感激他,并邀请他来参观。
在乌干达,瑞安终于亲眼看到了那口建好了的井。但他见到的不止这些。他还看到了几百名学生兴高采烈地出来迎接他。他们高兴地唱歌跳舞。有些人甚至送上了食物和礼物。起初瑞安很紧张,但很快他就感到了巨大的温暖。他真的改变了这些孩子们的生活。他突然露出喜悦的微笑。
后来,基于此经验,瑞安建立了一个基金会,以鼓励更多的人提供帮助。许多受到鼓舞的人给予了他支持。瑞安的基金会继续吸引越来越多的人的支持,因此建造更多水井的工作可以继续进行。今天,非洲16个国家的80多万人受益于这个改变了他们一生的礼物——清洁、安全的水。
如今,作为一个成年人,瑞安说要问的问题不是“为什么我不去帮助(他人) ”,而是“今天我该怎么帮助(他人) ”。这一洞见源于一个六岁男孩的坚定态度——他凭借勇气和毅力,最终让梦想成真。
