Good afternoon, everyone! Thank you for giving me this chance to share my story. Today I want to talk about my volunteer experience in the 2026 Yongzhou Marathon.
Let me start with what I did that day. At 3:30 a. m., our team of 263 student volunteers and 66 teachers gathered (聚集) at school. The marathon started at 7:00 a. m., so we quickly got into our positions along the track (跑道). Some of us guided the runners, some handed out water, and others helped with supply distribution (物资分发). The street was still dark, but our hearts were full of energy.
I will never forget one touching moment. A runner with only one arm came near our station. I ran to help him and opened the water bottle for him. He smiled and said, “Thank you, you are so warm!” That simple “thank you” made all our hard work worthwhile.
Since that day, I have learned that volunteering is not just about helping others—it also helps us grow. I have become more patient and responsible. I have also made many new friends through the work.
The work was tiring. We didn’t have much rest. But every smile from the runners made it worth it. To the people we helped, we were their warmth and support. That is what keeps me going.
We want to do even more in the future, but we can’t do it all alone. Will you join us as a volunteer Together, we can make our city Yongzhou warmer!

C．He feels that the marathon was too difficult to organize.
7. What is the main purpose of this speech

In July 2024, Typhoon Gaemi hit the southeast coast of China, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. It caused floods in some areas. Thousands of people had to leave their homes. But the good news is that many people were kept safe because of good preparations earlier.
What exactly is a typhoon A typhoon is a kind of storm. It starts over warm ocean water. When the sea water is warm enough, the air above it rises quickly, and strong winds begin to spin (旋转). Scientists can study these signs and know when a typhoon might come. That is why many people can prepare for it before it lands.
Typhoons usually happen between May and November. They often hit the southeast coast of China, including Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan. The winds can be faster than 200 km/h, and the heavy rain can cause terrible floods.
So how can we stay safe during a typhoon What should we do
Before a typhoon: Stay inside. Move important things off the floor. Bring in outdoor furniture. Prepare food, water, and flashlights.
During a typhoon: Keep away from windows and doors. Stay in a room without windows if possible. Listen to weather reports.
After a typhoon: Be careful. Don’t go outside until it is safe. Stay away from fallen power lines.
As Chen Lianshou, a famous Chinese typhoon scientist, once said, “A typhoon is a natural disaster, but we don’t have to be afraid of it. The better we understand it, the better we can protect ourselves.”
8. What happened after Typhoon Gaemi hit the coast in 2024
A．Many houses were built. B．Some areas had floods. C．People all stayed inside.
9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2
A．How a typhoon starts and why it can be predicted.
B．How fast a typhoon can move over the ocean.
C．Why scientists study the ocean water.
10. How does the writer share the safety tips
A．By asking and answering questions. B．By telling a story about a typhoon.
C．By comparing different kinds of storms.
11. What is the best title for this passage
A．How to Prepare Food and Water B．Typhoons: How to Understand and Stay Safe
C．The Strongest Typhoon in 2024
