14、agic Clonely DlightBMost essays are made up of a beginning, a middle and an endThe beginning arouses the readers interest to 29 his attention to the subject of the essay or 30 the necessary background information. The middle gives us clear and logical 31 of the facts and ideas the writer intends to

15、put forth. The end winds up the essay with a forceful statement to influence the readers 32 impression and shows consequences of the argument. To the writer the beginning is often the hardest part of an essay, because he has to decide from what point to 33 , and in what direction to go. The end is i

16、mportant because it often gives the reader the deepest impression. It should be short, forceful and thought-provoking. No 34 ideas should be introduced in a concluding paragraph.

I choose this experience because it was something that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping handWhen

19、I first came up with the idea of volunteering at a nursing home, I wanted to help out with activities and meet with some of the residents （住客）. At first it was challenging because I was extremely shy; however after getting to know the residents a little better, I started to feel more comfortable aro

20、und them. My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents by doing different activities from word games to playing chess. I feel as if I had accomplished that goal. At the nursing home, I did a lot of different activities with the residents ranging from Jeopardy, to Wheel of Fortune. O

21、ne of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten letter word on the board and the residents would try to come up with as many smaller words as possible. I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they always seemed to be so enthusiastic when they playedI also transporte

22、d residents to and from their rooms when they needed help; and whenever it was a nice day out, I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax. On Saturday mornings, I would deliver the newspaper to the residents and on Sundays, I assisted with morning church services.The most unforgettabl

23、e part of this experience was when I had one on one conversations with the residents; it was incredible how many great stories they had to tell. One of the first residents was Mr. Charles Bowman who is one hundred and three years old!36The author volunteered at the nursing home because _.Ashe was wi

26、ers presents, but the practice only creates insecurity in parents and staff.Ive certainly noticed some pupils being feverishly overgenerous of late. Last year, I received not one bottle of wine but four for helping a disaffected pupil through his GCSEs. By and large, my colleagues report the gifts d

27、iffering along gender lines. Gentlemen get ties, mugs, booze and, if theyre really lucky, tickets to football matches. The ladies are often presented with flowers, jewels, chocolates and so on.When my son was at private school, I noticed there was a real competitiveness between the students about gi

28、ving presents to teachers, with expensive baskets from fancy stores and huge bouquets being handed out on the last days of term. Since my wife and I only let my son give thank-you cards, it was clear we were not “classy”. Now he is at an inner-city primary, weve noticed that this kind of nonsense se

29、ems to have more or less disappearedFor one thing, there isnt that kind of money floating around but there isnt that kind of competitive culture either.Personally, I think gifts to teachers should be banned beyond the thank-you card: they cause many more problems than they solve, creating insecurity

30、 in both parents and staff. Perhaps the recession and the lack of money in peoples pockets might be a good excuse for the government to issue some guidelines to schools that gifts shouldnt be accepted by teachers.The gifts that I really value are the cards which say a genuine thank you. I still keep them in a file at home.40What can the author most probably be?AA teacher. BA school nurse.CA researcher. DA gift sh
