Twenty years ago, I lost my son in a traffic accident (交通事故). My friends decided that I needed to get out once a week and so we started going for coffee. Those friends helped me get through that terrible first year and still go on helping me.
We decided that we would try to help people in trouble when we could. So, we take a collection each week and then decide what to do with it. We have paid for breakfasts, helped an elderly man carry water, bought Christmas gifts for needy families, and sometimes just sent flowers to someone who was feeling blue.
We usually do this in a way that no one knows and that makes it even better.
We also have a yearly tea at my house the first Saturday in December to start the Christmas season. We have been “Secret Santa” to three people and each year we try and do something special for someone.
I am thankful for my friends and we are going on helping others.

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even eat it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2? is now the most dangerous kind of air pollutions. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
