Great Changes
I am deeply impressed by the great changes that have taken place in the school over the past three years.
On May 12,2008,a severe earthquake destroyed almost everything in the school,leaving badlydamaged buildings.① It is now,however,taking on a new look.Tall buildings have been put up,including classrooms and laboratory buildings,and a library.There is also a newlybuilt standard playground.In the new environment,teachers and students are living happily and working hard.It is really amazing that the onceruined place has now been turned into a beautiful school,full of life.②
Obviously,without the help of the whole society,there would be no new school today.③It is love and concern that have brought about the great changes.④ Many hands make light work.We can work wonders if we unite as a family, caring for each other and helping those in need.Union is strength.
