44.【答案】Dear fellow students，
Our school is launching a "Curiosity drives our growth" campaign，and I want to share how curiosity has helped me.
When I was in Grade 4，I was curious about how plants could grow without soil.So I decided to do an experiment.First，I prepared some hydroponic equipment and chose a small bean plant.Every day，I checked the water level and observed the roots.After two weeks，the plant grew taller with strong roots in the water.I felt amazed by the power of nature and proud of my discovery.This experience made me realize that curiosity can drive us to explore and learn new things.And I am getting more and more interested in biology.
Curiosity makes learning fun and sparks creativity.Here are some ideas you can try.First，ask questions in class or at home，like "How does this work？" Second，try something new each month，like feeding animals or painting.Last but not least，share discoveries with friends during breaks.
Let's stay curious and grow together!
Li Ming
