Denny and Mark went to Sun Mountain with their class last week. The first day was great. Everyone enjoyed snowball fights. The next day was very cold and no one wanted to go out. "I'll not spend the day inside!" said Mark. He and Denny went out together.
By noon the boys went into the forest. They had a walk happily, but they lost their way. Before they could find the way, snow began to fall heavily. They were very afraid.
"We have to stay here," said Denny. "They'll find we aren't there and come for us."
"Looking up at the trees, Mark said, "I read a story once-some people stopped by a heavy snow made a lean-to(单坡屋顶小房)to protect themselves. Will it work?"
"I think so," said Denny, "but we'd better be quick."
The two boys worked quickly to make a lean-to out of branches(树枝). Then they went inside. It grew dark. A cold wind blew through the lean-to. "I don't want to die here," Mark said in the dark.
"We're not going to die!" said Denny. But he wasn't so sure. Then he heard some shouting. The boys went out of their lean-to just as a few people got here.
"Here you are!" Mr. Jenkins, their headmaster, said excitedly. "We saw the lean-to and thought it might be you," he said. "Are you OK?"
"We're fine," said Mark. Everyone laughed.

My name is Ann. I would like to share my volunteering experience in Sue Ryder. I worked as a volunteer in 2013 because I wanted to do something to help others. I called some charity shops(慈善商店)to ask if they needed volunteers. Although I didn't mind where I volunteered, I was glad that one of the Sue Ryder shops said yes. Sue Ryder was a charity very close to my heart because volunteers from Sue Ryder once cared for my dad in the hospital.
Volunteering in the shop helped me know what shop work was like and I was surprised to find how much I really enjoyed doing it. I also found how important the public(民众)were. Lots of people gave us things they didn't need for the shops to sell. In this way Sue Ryder raised money to care for people with life-changing illness. I always left the charity shop late, because I knew how important the work of Sue Ryder was.
Another thing I enjoyed about volunteering was talking with other volunteers in the shop. They were friendly and helpful. I really improved my teamwork skills by volunteering.
I worked in the shop from late April to early August. I learned many things from it and I'm sure they will be useful in the future.

The next day he said to his son, "Andrew, do you know what you bought yesterday? Are they goldfish?” Andrew didn't know what to say. His father continued, "I'm glad that you know how to save money.
