3. helping and learning
at our school, we sometimes have a special day/ to help others. last year/ we went to an old people’s home/ and sang songs/ and performed a play /for them. the old people were very happy. we should be allowed/ to take time/ to do things/ like that/ more often. for example, we should visit primary schools/ and help teach young students. i want to be a teacher/ when i\'m older/ so it would be a great experience/ for me. other students would like to do other jobs. for example, my friend tian ge wants/ to write for a newspaper. she should be allowed/ to volunteer/ at the newspaper office/ once a week. on friday afternoons, many students are sleepy/ after a long week of classes. some students should be allowed/ to have friday afternoons off/ to volunteer and help others.
dear editor,
i would like to reply to the article “helping and learning” in your last newspaper. i agree with some ideas and disagree with others.
the article said that students should be allowed to go to an old people’s home and sing songs and perform a play for them. that is very good for us. we should be allowed to take time to do things like that more often. we should be allowed to visit primary schools and help teach young students.
your article said that helping teach young students would be a great experience for us. i disagree with you on that. some of us would like to do other jobs than teaching in the future. so helping teach young students at primary schools would be a waste of time for them. for example, my friend tian ge wants for a newspaper. people like her should be allowed to volunteer at the newspaper office more often. you said also that students should be allowed to have sleepy friday afternoons off to volunteer and help others. i do not agree with you on that. we have worked the whole working days. on friday afternoons we have to take a rest first. we need time to relax ourselves first and then we can do some volunteering work helping others.
sincerely yours,
john f. ken
just for fun
to end this busy period we shall take time to learn and read aloud an english poem for kids.
my feet
my feet, my feet,
i love my feet.
i think they\'re great,
i think they\'re neat.
they\'re pretty, pink,

and picturesque.
they look so perfect
