A. 段落编写

段落编写（一）problem  hospital  help  because  save

I was taking a bus to school when the driver saw an old man lying on the side of the road, shouting for help. The driver stopped the bus without hesitation and asked him what happened. The old man said he had a heart problem and couldn’t move any longer. The driver told the passengers that he must take the man to the hospital. To my surprise, passengers all agreed to go with him and some of us helped the driver to move the man onto the bus.

Thanks to the driver and the passengers, the doctors saved the old man in time. “It’s said that many people don’t want to help others because they don’t want any trouble,” said one passenger. But the driver didn’t think about himself. He only thought about saving a life, which moved me a lot.

段落编写（二）volunteer  happy  help  for  cheer

I’d like to be a volunteer, because being a volunteer makes me happy. There are many volunteer jobs I can do. I can help people who are in trouble. For example, I can visit the sick kids in the hospital to cheer them up. What’s more, I can also volunteer in an after-school study program to teach kids. In a word, I feel good about being a volunteer.

Less Pressure, Better Life

Hello, boys and girls!

Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams.

I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of after-school classes at weekends. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem.

That’s all. Thank you!
