Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste? Believe it or not, that’s exactly what world leaders did at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015.

Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings. Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food.

After his Master Chef Junior run,12-year-old Evan Robinson is using his kitchen skills to raise money for Puerto Rico（波多黎各）. The TV show winner wanted to offer help after hurricanes（飓风）hit the country last September.

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements.

However, I changed the way I used to behave at school with the help of my teachers. I tried my best to do well in my schoolwork and follow the school rules.
Growing and learning were great fun. Every year we had different kinds of school trips. Not only could we learn many things from them, but also we were given many projects as homework. It helped us know more. At the same time, we made many good friends. In Grade 8, I won prizes in drawing and English speech competitions. When I was in Grade 9, I realized that I should give all my attention to the entrance exam to high school.
