　　On May 12, 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan. Thousands of people lost their lives and even more people were left homeless. But, hand in hand, the Chinese people faced this disaster with compassion and courage.

　　People across China offered to make donations energetically. Relief materials and funds were continuously pouring into quake hit areas. What’s more, several rescue teams and medical professionals, at home and abroad, was sent to the earthquake stricken areas to search and rescue the survivals.

　　As far as we students are concerned, we should provide our helping hands for the earthquake stricken compatriots. We can donate our spare money to the suffering people who are in urgent need of food and medicine. Blood donation is also of vital significance for those injured people.

Besides, our spirit support and sincere prayers can help the broken hearts overcome the temporary disaster.悐錢ᳯ⶿䳠䁗ᴿ娵http://cet.hjenglish.com©版权所有沪江网娵ᴿ䁗䳠⶿ᳯ錢悐
