The theme class meeting for learning experience exchange was held last Friday afternoon. The purpose of the activity was to improve our self-awareness and learning efficiency.

A few days later， something terrible happened to Ronny. That afternoon after school， Ronny was bathing with some of his new friends in the river happily. Suddenly， he was stuck in the mud and couldn’t get out. He struggled hard but he was still trapped. He screamed for help， but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could. They were so scared and did not even try to help him.

At that moment， Henry happened to pass by. He heard the screams and ran to the river as soon as possible. Seeing Ronny was almost drowned， Henry took off his clothes immediately and jumped into the water without any hesitation. He reached Ronny just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort， and with much danger to himself， he brought Ronny to the shore in time. Henry was happy to help his friend， though he was extremely tired.

Lucy’s gift was the last one to be opened. Afraid she might ruin the party， Madison took the gift unwillingly and tore off the gift wrapper. Inside was a fine lead rope！ She opened her eyes wide in surprise， covering her mouth with her hands. “It’s a lead rope for your horse Star. I did it on my own！” Madison took it from the case， amazed at how beautiful it was. Lucy then said， “I’ve overheard you discussing your horse at school. That’s when I came up with the idea of making you a lead rope.”

Deeply touched by Lucy’s words， Madison held the lead rope firmly in her hands. That had been her favorite birthday gift ever. She was suddenly very sorry for being so hard on Lucy. With tears in her eyes， she felt a mixture of regret and gratitude. “I’m really grateful for this lead rope. I like it！ Would you like to join us and be our friend？” Lucy nodded happily. Madison placed her arm around Lucy’s shoulders， and the two of them laughed.

Dear William，

Pleased to hear from you， I would like to share with you my physical exercise.

My favorite sport is running. It not only builds up my strength but also teaches me never to give up. In PE class， I can well complete the tasks given by the teacher. In addition， I take exercise every week， such as jogging， swimming and cycling. What’s more， I regularly take part in some organized sports competitions， like playing football. I think exercise is very helpful in improving our health.

How about you？ I am looking forward to your early reply.

Yours，

Dear Peter，

I’m writing to invite you to participate in the Sino-Western cultural exchange activity to be held in our school next Friday.

In order to promote the understanding of each other’s cultures， we have designed two activities. First， there will be a show of English classics， during which we can perform what we are interested in， like Shakespeare’s Helmet. The other is the dumpling making competition. Making dumplings is fun and tasting our own dumplings is a special experience.

Looking forward to your participation. If you have any questions， please contact me.

Yours，

The Impact of Technology on Our Lives

The impact of technology on our lives has both benefits and weaknesses. Technology has greatly improved our efficiency， allowed for global communication， and enhanced our entertainment options. It has completely changed the way we communicate， learn， work， and entertain ourselves. However， it has also led to issues such as addiction and privacy concerns. Balanced use is crucial to maximize its benefits as well as minimize its negative impacts. We must prioritize real-world interactions， protect our privacy， and ensure that technology does not overshadow our daily lives.

Just then， an idea came to Mr Taylor. “How about if I make you a loan？ I’ll let you use a plot of land in my yard. When your garden starts to prosper， you can repay me with a few tomatoes.” On hearing that， Mali nodded her head without the slightest hesitation. The two shook hands on this deal. The next day， Mali bought some tomato plants with all her pocket money.

Mr Taylor taught Mali how to prepare the soil and place the plants. Finally， Mali was instructed to place posts in the ground to help hold the plants up. Then all they could do was water and pull weeds regularly， waiting in eager expectation for the tasty fruit. When the fruit ripened， there were more juicy， red tomatoes than even Mali could have imagined. “There is no way I can eat all these，” she realized. Mali and Mr Taylor sold ripe tomatoes to the market. Not only did Mali get back the money she invested， but she also made a profit of twenty dollars.

Dear Sir or Madam，

I’m Li Hua， a senior high school student from China. I’m writing to apply for the post of volunteers.

I believe I would be the right person for the position. For one thing， I once studied in Britain as an exchange student for two years， so I have no difficulty in communicating with others in English. For another thing， I have learned some basic knowledge about garbage sorting through the Internet. And I’ve been taking an active part in activities of sorting garbage in my community. So it would be easy for me to pass on relevant information to foreign students.

I would be very grateful if you could offer me the opportunity. Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours sincerely，

Li Hua
