The Last Drop
Emma still remembered the river of her childhood—crystal clear, brimming with fish, and shaded by willow trees whose branches kissed the water. She and her friends swam in it during summers, their laughter echoing across the fields. But now, when Emma returned to the village, she was shocked. As she stood on the same riverbank, she saw a different scene: the water was dirty, littered with plastic bottles and floating rubbish, and the willows had dried. A sign read: No Swimming. Dangerous Water.
Her heart sank. She recalled her grandfather's stories about how this river had nurtured（养育）their village for generations. Today, it smelled of decay（腐烂）. Later, in school, her teacher explained how industrial waste and plastic pollution had polluted the river. “Water is life,” the teacher said, “but we've taken it for granted.”
That afternoon, Emma decided to take action. She started a “Save Our River” campaign at school, organizing clean-up drives and writing to local officials. Slowly, others joined—students, teachers. even farmers. They removed trash, planted new trees, and monitored water quality. Months later, though the river wasn't fully healed, Emma saw hopeful signs: dragonflies returning, water clearing, and children watching from the bank with curiosity.
She knew it was just a start. One year later, Emma visited the river again.

My experience of being curious
One day, i saw a small hole under the tree in our garden. I wondered what was inside. So I started to dig carefully with a stick. After a few minutes, I found an old metal box! I opened it and discovered some beautiful shiny stones inside. They were amazing! I felt so excited and happy. This experience taught me that curiosity can lead to wonderful surprises. Now I always keep my sense of curiosity alive.
