W: Hello. Care for the Community. How can I help you?
M: Oh, good morning. I’m interested in doing some part-time work for your organization. My name is Philippa Tailor. I’m a student at Brookfields University.
W: Good morning, Philippa. When would you be available to work? Days? Evenings?
M: Well, days would be difficult, as I have classes then. I was thinking maybe a couple of evenings a week, or maybe three. But no more than that.
W: OK. Philippa, why are you interested in working for us?
M: Well, I major in Social Care Studies. I’m hoping to apply for a job in social care when I graduate, and this would give me some work experience in this field.
W: Great. And what makes you suitable for this kind of work, do you think?
M: Well, I have very good communication skills. That’s my strong point, I think. And I’m a good listener. Sometimes you can help by just listening, you know.
W: I agree. Hmm, right. What I’d like to do, if it’s OK with you, is fix an appointment so we can meet and talk about this some more. It wouldn’t be anything formal, not an interview or anything like that. Er, how are you fixed for Tuesday 9th September at 4:30?
M: Ah, I’m sorry. I have a lesson then. Would Wednesday be possible? W: The 10th? Yes, that would be fine.

W: This summer I took part in a really interesting project. It’s called One-Day Clean-up and its aim is to clear the world’s natural environments of rubbish. I heard about its work from my neighbors who used to take part some years ago. I thought it would be fun and persuaded a couple of my cousins to come along with me. But it wouldn’t matter if you took part on your own. You’d soon make friends with other people there. Most of the people there were teenagers. We were a very international group in my team. Over half of the people there were from Australia, like me, but there were also people from China, Thailand and the USA. Most teams were working on the south coast of the country, but mine was working on the east. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find on the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. I’m determined now to get my family to recycle as much as possible. It’ll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you’d like to join me taking part in this Day next year, it’ll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers. There’ll be a day later in the year on cleaning up woodlands.

After-class Activities
Nowadays, after-class activities are becoming more and more popular in high schools. In our school, there are various kinds of activities, for example, arts and sports. We enjoy them very much. Playing football and reading stories are my favorites, which do me lots of good. Besides building my body and enriching my knowledge, they also free me from the heavy work of study.
Here I have some suggestions. To students, you’d better choose the activities which interest you and suit you; to schools, they should organize more activities for students and leave students more time for activities by giving them less homework.
Dear friends, please actively take part in after-class activities, which will not only make your school life colorful, but also improve your learning.

Quiet classes, endless exams and long hours at school … daily life of many Chinese high school students. But a group from Bohunt School in Hampshire, UK, decided to try out a four-week period.
Five Chinese teachers were sent to a UK school to teach the British students in a Chinese style. The Chinese teachers came in with high expectations, but they quickly found discipline (纪律) was their biggest challenge. “When I walked into the classroom, some students were chatting, some students were eating, and somebody was even putting make-up on her face. I had to control myself, or I would have gone crazy,” said one of the teachers Li Aiyun.
The British students had complaints too. Many of them found the classes boring. “It’s all about repetition(重复) and copying notes from the board,” one student said.
The students finally took a test, and the Chinese class scored better than other classes. Chinese teachers were happy, but they owed (把……归功于) it to the students for working hard. They also realized their teaching style was “a bit too rigid (死板的)”. “It’s very hard to say which education system is better. But I think we can learn from each other,” said Li Aiyun.
Education should be well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a person. It is not only to teach him/her to speak, read and write, but also to develop his/her creative thinking and other abilities. Though the education systems are so different between Britain and China, we agree that getting education is the most important part in a person’s life.

Starting from my second year of primary school, there was one event I hated every year: the piano concert. I didn’t want to practice a boring piece of music and was scared to perform in front of strangers. Each year I would ask my father if I could miss the concert “just this once”. And he would say something about building self-confidence and working towards a goal.
So I was very proud when I stood in church(教堂) and watched my father piano during his very first concert. My father wanted to play music when But his mother couldn’t afford lessons.
Three years ago, when he retired(退休), he asked the church music director, Charles, to take him as a student. Just before the concert, Charles told me my dad was playing “the best I’ve ever seen him.” For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he simply stared down at his fingers. I wondered whether he would even begin.
But then Aram Khachaturian’s Melody(交响乐) began. It seemed that my father took the music so seriously that he didn’t realize we were there. My dad made it through Melody and then through another song. Although he didn’t have much skill, he made up for it in feeling.
My 11-year-old son Jeff was there. “So what did you think about your grandfather?” I asked Jeff later. “He was great,” Jeff replied.
My father may not have reached his top musically, but in his grandson’s eyes, he’s at the top of the mountain.
