It wasn’t what I had expected. It didn’t look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms—one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, one for Grades 4, 5 and 6, and the 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 the city. The next day, I gave them an exam to find out their level. To my surprise, though the exam was very easy, over half of the students flunked it. But they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.I was busy preparing lessons and correcting exam papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them.

What can we do to give others a hand?Be kind to negative（消极的）people. When people face trouble, they get upset and lose heart easily. Then they become negative. If you want to help, be kind to those people. They need your help, care, and love. Through your kindness, you can change their ideas of themselves and the world, and become their light in the darkness（黑暗）.Volunteer in your neighbourhood. If you’re looking to help others, volunteering is your best way. You can volunteer to help people facing difficulties in many ways. Also, you might bring out the best in yourself when helping others.Share your experiences. Helping others isn’t just about giving money or useful things; you can also share your experiences to help others when they feel lost. Your real-life experiences can provide useful lessons to help them solve life problems.Help around the house. Helping others isn’t only about helping strangers; it’s also about helping your family. In a family, it’s not only a person’s job to do housework. Try to do more housework even without being asked. Spend some time folding your clothes, preparing dinner, and so on. No one at home should serve as your servant（仆人）. You’re a family member, just like the rest. Show your great love and help your family.So, tell me, how do you plan to help others?9.

She believed her work was valuable in making the lives of local students better.During the teaching, Lin found that students in village schools are often short of interest in English because of few materials（材料）and chances to use the language. To increase their interest in English, Lin and her team planned special English drama classes to encourage children to express themselves actively. “It is better for village students to learn English through acting, because they will have more fun,” Lin explained. During rehearsals（排练）, Lin helped the children understand the storyline, practise words, and build cooperation（合作）. She discovered a big change in the students’ attitudes（态度）.One summer may not bring much change to the children, but one summer’s hard work can at least make a difference to China’s countryside education.41.
