As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guanxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, I felt sad when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. Though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.
I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village school and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

One day a poor farmer was taking a bag of wheat to town. Suddenly, the bag fell off his horse onto the road. It was too heavy, so he did not know what he could do about it. He only hoped that someone would soon go by and help him.
Just at that time, a man on a horse came up to him. But the farmer felt disappointed (失望 ) when he saw the man. It was a great man and he lived near there. He thought the great man wouldn’t help him, and hoped another farmer would come up. But to his surprise, the great man got off his horse when he came near. “ I see you need help,” he said, “I’m here just at the right time.” Then he took one of the bag and the farmer took the other. They lifted(提) it together and put it on the horse.
“Sir,” asked the farmer, “How can I pay you?” “It’s very easy,” the great man answered, “When you see anyone else in trouble (处在困境中)do the same for him.”

The koala
Appearance:
Size: 70—90cm Weight: 5—14kg
The koala with thick hair looks cute but it has very sharp
teeth and claws (爪子).
The male koala is larger than the female one.
Food: The koala eats eucalyptus leaves (桉树叶). Each koala
eats about 500 grams of leaves per day.
Habit: The koala sleeps for up to 16—18 hours. It prefers to move around in the evening.
Baby fact: A healthy female koala can have one child each year. A baby koala is very small when it is born—only a quarter of an inch. It has no hair and it can’t see either. It lives in its mother’s pouch (育儿袋) for half a year. During this time, it only drinks its mother’s milk.
Danger: The number of koalas in Australia is getting smaller every year, mainly because of people. People cut down a lot of trees, so many koalas have no places to live in and they don’t have enough leaves to eat. There are fewer than 100,000 koalas in the world. Some scientists say if people don’t protect them, we won’t have any koalas within 30 years.
