My name is Sam. I joined a club called “passing help” last month . Now let me tell you why I joined it .

One evening this May , on my way home my old car broke down . It was 25 miles from my home . I wanted to get a ride (搭便车),but there was no car. It was also hard to take a taxi . I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.

After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town, the bus driver was a young woman. She was kind and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes, but no bus came. At last a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.

“When I reached the bus station, I got to know that the bus to your town couldn’t come, so I returned here. I just can’t leave you here,” she said, “Get in my car and I will take you back to your home.”

“It is a long way,” I said.

“Come on ,sir,” she said , “Let’s go.”

On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn’t gas(汽油) in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn’t accept. “I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.” She said.

Most young boys don’t like growing flowers and watering them. But for 16-year-old Angus, working in the garden isn’t just a hobby---it has changed his life.

Angus has a special illness and his IQ(智商) is lower than a normal boy. Six months ago, he started learning how to grow flowers. Now he spends hours in the garden growing flowers, watering and looking after them. “Before working in the garden, it was difficult for Angus to concentrate in class and sometimes he didn’t want to go to school,” says his mother Kim. “ Now he can’t wait to go to school and he is happy every day. We can see Angus is able to work in a garden center in the future.”

Research(研究) shows that working in the garden improves mental health. In the past, soldiers in Egypt treated their mental problems after war by working in the garden. Even now, some doctors advise people to work in the garden to treat their mental health problems. And doctors also advise young people like Angus to work in the garden.

The lives of hundreds of children in Britain with a special illness like Angus, have been changed by this special kind of education. When working in the garden, children have a chance to learn a lot of important skills, such as how to work with other people and how to take care of plants. Besides, the children become more confident after working in the garden.

When I was new in junior high school, I knew no one. Most students talked only to people they knew, so I felt lonely. I had to come home crying. Mother asked me what the worst time was and I said it was at lunch time.

She said, “You are not the lonely person. There are others that are alone. Tomorrow I want you to look around the lunchroom to see if other people are eating by themselves. I want you to go to one of them and ask if you can join him or her.”

The next day, I did look around and asked the person who was already sitting alone. The young girl was very happy. I shared my story with the girl and the next day we met for lunch and found some other people who were alone. This began a very interesting approach(接近) to life.

The lesson that I learned from that experience have stayed with me all my life. I have few problems approaching new people. I learned that I am not alone. Most people are just like you and me. We all want to be noticed, and to have somebody to be interested in listening to us.
