A piece of me under rain

A piece of me under rain
a whipping scratch on my face
memories shan`t be again,
washed away without a trace

tears run free on my skin
voiceless shouts filling the sky
dripping fears from within
twitching, crying where they lie

In the gloomy night will melt
clawing at the hidden air
drowning pain forever felt
in the ripples of despair...

A Guide Speech

Ladies and gentlemen,
  Just one hour's ride north of London lies the university city of Cambridge. which, for seven hundred years, has been one of the world's most important centers of education. Like the other students here, you will enjoy privileges which are unique to the Cambridge way of life.
  During your free time, you might like to wander along the "Backs"—the lawns which slope gently down to the River Cam. Equally relaxing is a cycle ride through the town center: here you can practice your English in the charming old market place, meet other students or pay a visit to one of the city's world-famous museums. Afterwards, if you still feel energetic, there are facilities for every kind of sport.
  Cambridge will tempt you with entertainments of its own. You can watch Britain's finest actors and musicians perform in streets or see the latest films. In addition, the university provides the perfect chance to make new friends and improve English at the same time.
  Have an enjoyable tour. Thank you.

A Get-Together

Three years have passed since I became a college student. I haven't seen many of my classmates after we parted when the college entrance examination was over. So we decided to have a get-together party this sum­mer vacation.
  As you can imagine, I could hardly wait to have the day for our reunion. After several months' waiting, 25 of my former high school classmates and 3 of our teachers were crowded in a small restaurant near our high school. We were more than happy to meet with each other again. Our former Chi­nese teacher was so excited that he even choked to say some words. With gratitude, we thanked our teachers for their hard work; with great joy, we exchanged the happy things happening in each of our present colleges; We talked and talked before someone shouted. “Oh, it was 11:30 now." But no one would be the first to say good bye to others.
  I shall always bear this unforgettable get-together in my mind. With time passing, I believe I will meet many new friends, but I think the friendship among high school classmates will be the purest and will be the most valuable thing to cherish.

Donation Proposal

Jinji county is located in a mountainous area. Harsh natural conditions have left the people living at the mercy of the Heaven. For many school-age children, going to school is but a distant dream—their families are too poor to even afford their primary education. About 40% of the schoolhouses need to be reconstructed, not to mention modern education equipment and installa­tions.
  To help solve these problems, our university is teaming up with the China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF) to offer the following proposals to our students: " Care for disadvantaged school-age children and make dona­tions to build a Hope School." The donation will be handled by the CYDF, and will be strictly used for the intended purpose of building a Hope School in the area.
  Your donations will make the dream of building a Hope School into reality
