In a small town called Greenwood, a simple act of kindness started something amazing. One rainy afternoon,13-year-old Ben noticed an elderly woman trying hard to carry heavy bags. He offered help at once and walked her home. Touched by his kindness, the lady gave Ben a box of homemade cookies.
Ben decided to share the cookies with his neighbour, Mrs Carter. She was very happy. She gave Ben a book about local history. Ben then sent the book to the school library. When the librarian learned the story, she shared it in the school newspaper.
Within weeks, some students started “The Circle Plan”. They recorded kind acts on paper circles. These circles were on show in the hallway—showing actions like helping clean classrooms, teaching younger students, planting trees in the community park.
Surprisingly, the project reduced arguments among the students by 30%. Teachers reported that it improved classroom atmosphere (气氛). The circle kept growing—even local businesses joined by giving away books and sports supplies.

Have you ever seen pictures of the northern lights They are one of the most beautiful natural wonders on Earth. The scientific name for them is Aurora Borealis.
The northern lights usually appear in the night sky near the North Pole (北极). The northern lights look like curtains (窗帘) of colourful light moving and dancing. The most common colour is green, but you can also see pink, red, yellow, and blue. It’s like a huge light show put on by nature!
Why does this happen It starts with the sun. The sun always sends out small particles (粒子). When these particles reach Earth, they meet our planet’s magnetic field (磁场). The magnetic field pulls them towards the North and South Poles. When the particles hit the air, they create energy, and this energy turns into beautiful light.
The higher the latitude (纬度) is, the closer it is to the North Pole, and the easier it is to see the northern lights. The best time to watch them is in winter, when the nights are long and sombre. You need a clear, cloudless sky. Sometimes you have to wait for hours in the cold, but when the lights finally appear, it is all worth it. It truly is a wonder of nature.

Zhang Hao’s love for calligraphy started when he saw his grandfather writing Chinese characters with a writing brush. He thought the characters were so beautiful and wanted to learn how to write them.
At first, learning calligraphy was very hard for Zhang Hao. He had to practice writing the same character hundreds of times every day. His hand often hurt, and he sometimes wanted to give up. But his grandfather told him, “Calligraphy is a traditional Chinese art. It needs patience and hard work. If you stick to it, you will fall in love with it.” Zhang Hao took his grandfather’s words to heart and kept practicing.
Now, calligraphy has become an important part of Zhang Hao’s life. He practices it for one hour every day after finishing his homework. He said writing calligraphy makes him calm and relaxed. It also lets him know more about Chinese traditional culture. “Every Chinese character has a story. When I write them, I feel like I’m talking with the ancient people,” he said.
Zhang Hao has a small dream: he wants to hold a calligraphy exhibition in his school next year. He hopes to show his works to his classmates and teachers, and let more people love Chinese calligraphy. “I will keep learning calligraphy and pass on this traditional art,” he said.

六、书面表达范文
Dear Tom,
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me tell you something about Chinese customs.
When you visit a Chinese friend, you should shake hands and arrive on time. Don’t be late. At the dinner table, the old people should start eating first. It’s rude to stick chopsticks straight into rice.
These are our basic manners. If you follow them, people will think you are polite.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
