B
A Special Day at the Museum
October 12,Sunny
Today was unforgettable! Our class visited the science museum. While watching a nating robot show, I got too excited and exclaimed loudly, “Wow! This is amazing!” My teacher gently reminded me to lower my voice in public places. I immediately remembered my manners and apologized to nearby visitors.
The most interesting part came when we explored the dinosaur exhibition. A foreign student dropped his map near the T-Rex model. I picked it up and returned it to him. To my surprise, he turned out to be Tim, an exchange student from England who’s staying in our city for three months! We started chatting and became instant friends. He even taught me how to say “Thank you” in three different languages!
Later,we enjoyed lunch together in the museum café. I made sure to use proper table manners, and Tim noticed this. “You’re really polite,” he said with a warm smile. His words made me realize that good manners can help us make friends across cultures. It has been the most wonderful day!

①A bottle of water may not be so important to you,but it can save the day for people who live in drought-hit areas in China.
②Some places in southwest China went through a serious drought in 2025. Rice and vegetables were dying,the ground was cracked,and wells and rivers were drying up. More than 20 million people were having difficulty finding safe drinking water.
③ However, many people helped out by giving water, money, and other things to those in need. For example, 900 students in Xi'an bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money and wrote wishes on the bottles like “I hope you get more rain there. I hope you are happy”.
④ The drought has made some students realize how important it is to save water. Students in Huizhou went on the street to encourage others to take part in water-saving activities. One student said, “I heard that some children in drought-hit areas don’t have enough drinking water. They have to drink dirty water. I feel really sad about that.” That’s why he decided to take shorter showers only twice a week to save water.
