Compositions
Loving Parcels
In order to help the students in the flood area, our school held a“Loving Parcels”donation activity last week.
All of the teachers and students took an active part in the activity. They donated their clothes ，books,and schoolbags and all of them were badly needed. In addition, they also wrote down the best wishes to those students on cards，which would be collected and delivered to the schools that were affected by the flood.
Not only did the activity help us express our care for the students and send our sincere wishes to them but it also taught us that we should value what we have.
△ 2. Today, natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, landslides, typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunamis, often strike towns and villages, causing human deaths or great damage to people's property. The most dangerous of them is the volcanic eruption. An active volcano can erupt at any time. Its great power can ruin crops, destroy houses and even bury villages. When a tsunami comes, the waves can crash buildings and sweep away crops. Experts say people should remain calm in the face of an emergency. Experts also give a summary of the effect of some natural disasters. Although they affect people's lives, the effect is not as serious as people imagine.
今天，自然灾害，如洪水，干旱，山体滑坡，台风，飓风，龙卷风和海啸，经常袭击城镇和村庄，造成人员死亡或巨大的财产损失。其中最危险的是火山喷发。活火山随时都可能爆发。它的强大威力可以毁坏庄稼，摧毁房屋，甚至埋没村庄。海啸来的时候，海浪会冲毁建筑物，冲走庄稼。专家说人们在紧急情况下应该保持冷静。专家们还总结了一些自然灾害的影响。虽然它们影响了人们的生活，但其影响并不像人们想象的那么严重。
☆ 3. A great earthquake struck the city and everyone was shocked. Ninety percent of the buildings lay in ruins, metal pipes and taps cracked, and bricks covered the ground. There were ruins everywhere. Many people were trapped at home and suffered a great deal. There was neither electricity nor water. It seemed as if the world were at an end. The government immediately organized rescue teams to evacuate people and take the trapped survivors to shelters in the open air. Some doctors ran over with first aid kits on hand. The helicopters delivered all kinds of supplies and the ambulances whistled by. The PLA also came to their rescue. Thanks to their unified efforts and wisdom, the city began to breathe and revive.
一场大地震袭击了这座城市，每个人都感到震惊。百分之九十的建筑物倒塌沦为废墟，金属管道和水龙头破裂，地面被砖块覆盖。到处都是废墟。许多人被困在家里，遭受了巨大的痛苦。既没有电也没有水。似乎世界末日来临了。政府立即组织救援队疏散人群，将被困的幸存者带到户外的避难所。一些医生手里拿着急救箱跑过来。直升机运送了各种补给品，救护车呼啸而过。人民解放军也来营救他们。由于他们的共同努力和智慧，这座城市开始恢复生机和复苏。
