We Should Shoulder the Responsibility I was surfing the Internet when a report about post-00s firefighters and post-00s volunteers attracted my eyes.The report showed that many post-00s role models emerged in the mountain fire in Chongqing and the Luding earthquake, who showed their bravery and sense of responsibility. In some people s view, it seems as if the post-00s were the most rebellious generation. However, when faced with natural disasters, they risked their lives to rescue people trapped in ruins or floods, totally leaving their safety behind.They really live up to the society s expectations and deserve our respect and admiration. Deeply affected by their stories, I call on all the young people to learn from them and shoulder our responsibility making our contributions as individuals.

Everyone s heart was stuck in their throat until they heard some cry of a baby.

Benefits of military training for high school students In my opinion, there are several advantages of high school students participating in military training. Firstly, military training contributes to enhancing physical fitness. Through various physical exercises and military drills, we can improve our strength, endurance, and coordination, fostering a healthier body. Secondly, it cultivates a spirit of teamwork. Military training requires us to cooperate and face challenges together, promoting teamwork that is crucial for personal and professional development. Most importantly, military training hones the quality of determination. Therefore, I firmly believe military training is a valuable experience for our high school students.
Together, they ran to the coach, holding their possession. They waited for his feedback anxiously. Lovely, who did it? Coach asked, his gaze shifting from one player to another. We did it together, Sir! Viraj said, filled with team spirit. How did you come up with such a brilliant idea? the coach asked, his eyes shining with pride. Viraj responded, It was Amol's idea, and we all agreed. The coach nodded approvingly and replied, Just as all the colours in the jersey merged, you too adjusted to each other's views, leaving behind your grudges. So, teamwork led to a wonderful result.
Yes, Sir!! Teamwork will also lead us to victory, the boys echoed, a shared determination reflected in their eyes. The weight of defeat was replaced by the promise of triumph. Gratitude filled the room as all the boys turned to Amol, expressing their appreciation. We enjoyed designing this jersey. Let us play the next match like this without disagreement. Cheers to our team! they exclaimed. At that moment, the coach's eyes twinkled with pride and hope, foreseeing not just a victory in the upcoming match but a triumph of teamwork that would echo far beyond the football field.
At 10: 00 A. M., Heidi called me at work. She mentioned seeing Garfield on the doorstep of my house, but he wouldn't allow her to pick him up. I couldn't believe that Garfield had finally returned home. Thanks! I'll call Janette to let him in. Janette, not having exams that morning, received the news with delight. Through the phone, I could hear Janette running down the stairs and opening the door. After a brief pause, Janette laughed, Garfield is back and he's fine. I smiled with relief.
Garfield's feet never touched the ground that evening. We all took turns holding him and fussing over him as the long-lost friend that he was. The mystery of where he was for thirty-eight hours in the wild and how he found his way back will forever be known to him alone. Garfield's still an indoor cat under protest. In his safe return, we've learned to cherish the moments we have with him even more, grateful for the unique and unspoken connections that make our family whole.
When English Meets The Arts Among the recent "When English Meets The Arts" events at our school, the "Dramatic Dialogues" performance stands out as a memorable experience. This activity involved students performing excerpts from famous English plays, which was not only entertaining but also educational. The performance brought to life the rich language and complex characters found in English literature. It was fascinating to see how the actors interpreted the dialogues, adding depth to the words through their body language and expressions. As an audience member, I found myself more engaged with the texts than when reading them in a book. The event highlighted the power of drama as a tool for language learning and cultural understanding.
Moreover, it inspired me to explore the performing arts as a means to better understand English literature. It was a unique blend of language and art that made the experience not just enjoyable, but also enlightening. I left the event with a newfound appreciation for the art of drama and its potential to enrich our understanding of the English language.
