Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school: However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness over the next few days." Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!

What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying," Hey, how's everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.

When Anna realized this; she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.

In fact, saying" hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!

    There was no rain for six months in Liguan Village, about 60 km away from Kunming. The fields were so dry lots of plants were dead. The villagers didn't have water (drink), to cook food or to water crops(庄稼). Most of the villagers live on rice, corn and vegetables that they grow by (them). Without water, their crops couldn't grow well. And they didn't have enough food to eat.

    Every morning, the villagers got up early and ran to the centre of the village two plastic buckets(塑料桶). More than 4, 000 thirsty villagers stood behind a fire truck (wait) for the water.

    Every family got two or three buckets of water every day. They used it for drinking, washing and (cook). If one family saved a little water every day, then the family could have a shower(one) a week.

    The government tried to help villagers look water. They were going to dig(挖) (hundred) of new wells. Volunteers from all over the country collected money, food and water for villagers. Above all, the most important way (protect) underground water and prevent drought(干旱) is to plant trees.

This is the day.

    In some parts of the world there are large deserts. There aren't trees or water in these Travellers must take food and water with them. The only animal that can walk the desert is the camel. It can go food or water for a long time, and it can heavy things. People call the camel “the ship of the desert”. The camel is very big. It has one or two humps on back, short ears and a long neck. The camel can hold water in twelve deep pockets. Each pocket has a mouth, and the food doesn't mix with the water. When the camel wants some water, it can get it out of the pockets.
