As the saying goes, “many little drop of water make an ocean.” A small action may lead to major changes in society. My friends and I participated a voluntary activity at a nursing home last week. We first did some cleaning or washing. After that we spend half an hour chat with the old people living there. Though it was a tired day, we were happy with that we did. I felt a sense of responsibility by visiting the old. If all of us lend a helping hand to the people in the need, we can live in harmony with each other. A society is just like a family. If they are willing to help others, our small action can make a bigger difference.

Answer 1

【答案】drop错误，改为drops；participated后面加in；or错误，改为and；spend错误，改为spent；chat错误，改为chatting；tired错误，改为tiring；that错误，改为what；去掉need前面的the；they错误，改为we；bigger错误，改为big
【解析】①drop—drops drop作为名词意为“珠、滴”时为可数名词，前有many修饰，故用复数形式。
②participated 后面加in participate作为“参加”时，后面需要加上介词in。
③or—and cleaning 和washing之间为并列关系，故使用并列连词and。
④spend—spent 这里讲述的是上周的事情，时态为一般过去时。
⑤chat—chatting spend sometime doing sth.“花费时间做某事”。
⑥tired—tiring tired修饰人，tiring修饰物。
⑦that—what what不仅充当句子成分，而且含有一定的意义，表示“我们所做的事情”。
⑧去掉need前面的the in need“急需，在危难中”。
⑨they—we 句子后面出现了our，对应的主语应该是we“我们”。
⑩bigger—big make a big difference “产生很大的不同；意义重大；有很大影响”为固定搭配，无比较的意味。
