1．Don’t Waste Water
As everybody knows, water is the origin of life. Without water one can not live for long. Although the truth is universally realized, we have no awareness to save water in our daily life.
From my point of view, it’s advisable and necessary to save water. When washing clothes, we shouldn’t turn on tapes at the same time, which waste a large amount of water. And this kind of behavior must be forbidden that people care nothing for turning off the tap after washing their hands. In addition, clean water used in the car wash store is also unacceptable.
The world is short of fresh water. Therefore, it’s an urgent task for us to save water. Otherwise, the last drop of water in the world would be our tears.
2．The Day My Classmate Fell Ill
About nine o’clock one evening in May, my roommate Li Hua was lying in bed, trembling with cold and having a cough. His head was aching so intensely that he kept groaning. His forehead felt very hot.
Without hesitation, I dialed 120. It was not long before an ambulance arrived. One roommate brought a blanket for him. Another supported him in the ambulance. Our teacher insisted on giving him some money.
During his staying in hospital that night, we took care of him in turn regardless of exhaustion.
Therefore, he recovered very soon.
This kind of care between persons is called affection and it is just because of the affection that we can have a harmonious and happy life.

How to build an economized society
To build an economized society, we must keep the following points in our mind. Firstly, make sure that the lights and the electric fans are turned off when there is no one in the room. Set the room temperature at above 26°C. Remember to turn off the computer when you are not using it. Secondly, try to form the habit of turning off the tap after it is used. Use basins when washing faces or vegetables. Thus the water can be used again to clean toilets or water flowers. Thirdly, it will be good enough for us to use a basket instead of a plastic bag when go to the market because a basket can be used again many more times.

Whether you help clean the rooms for the old, do something for the disabled, or teach the children to sing, you'll gain some valuable skills and experience. You can use these skills and experience to enrich your study or your future career. Volunteering brings together a variety of people. You will meet some interesting ones.

Born on Mar 10, she is now 21 years old. She is very tall, with the height of 174cm, but is only 50kg in weight. She comes from ChenDu, SiChuan Province, and is now studying at Sichuan Conservatory of Music. She is fond of singing, dancing and sleeping. And her favorite colors are black and blue. Being a middle school student, she was very active. She once held a music concert of her own in her mother school.
