a recent study among 2,000 young people aged between 18 and 34 has revealed that gardening is
becoming increasingly popular among young people. Kev Smith, who organized the survey, said that
the study showed that gardening suits everyone, whatever their age. On average, young adults spend
around two hours per week taking care of their plants. Two-thirds of participants also said that they

DearJack,
Anactivitywiththethemeof“RelievePressureandStudyEfficiently”isplannedbyourEnglish
club.We’dliketohaveyouasourguest.
Firstly, the activity will be held in the school auditorium at 3 p. m. next Saturday. It aims to
alleviate students’ mental stress and empower them to study more efficiently. Specifically, a
psychological expert will be invited to deliver a lecture to help students know various adjustment
techniques and understand how to turn pressure into motivation. More interestingly, we will organize
English riddle-solving games to shift students’ focus away from the overwhelming schoolwork
pressure.Lastbutnotleast,topstudentswillsharetheirpracticalmethodsforstudy.
Hopefully, students can better handle stress, learn efficiently, and embrace the challenges.
Lookingforwardtoyourattendanceanditwouldbeappreciatedifyoucouldgiveussomeinsights.

大作文
Paragraph1:
That big day of the baby’s birth, I felt all my insecurities surface. At the sight of my mother’s
painfulexpressions due to giving birth, I was torn between the anticipation of a new life and the fear
of losing my place in her heart. The hospital room was all hustle and bustle, with doctors and nurses
passingabout,butallmyfocuswasonthewoman whohadbeenmy worldforsolong.Iclungtoherhand,feelingthewarmthandstrengththathadalwaysbeenthereforme,andIrealizedthatnomatter
what, she would always be my mother. I comforted her, saying, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll be there to
help take care of the new baby. Just breathe!”. Finally, the moment the baby’s first cries echoed
through theroom, tears blurring my vision, Ifelt amix ofemotions surging through me—relief, awe,
andastrangesenseofbelongingthatIhadneverfeltbefore.
Paragraph2:
I cried because I never thought I could love a baby so much. As I held my newborn baby sister
in my arms, all the doubts and resentment I had for so long seemed to vanish. This tiny,fragile baby,
with its eyes shut and soft breaths, had incredibly melted away the hardness in my heart. Looking
down at this little miracle, I felt a surge of protectiveness and affection that I had never known I was
capable of. The baby’s small fingers curled around my own, and in that instant, I understood the true
meaning of family—it’s not just about sharing a home, but about sharing love and life’s journey
together. The bitterness that had once clouded my heart gave way to a newfound joy and a sense of
responsibilitythatIwasnowanoldersister,andIembracedthisrolewithopenarms.
