A Visit To ....

(1)One of our classmates came across a small orphanage by chance; she told us what she saw and, interested, we planned to pay it a visit. On a fine Sunday morning, we set off for the orphanage with some cakes and children's books. When we arrived at the orphanage, we saw many children playing happily. Apparently, they were too small to be distressed by the misfortune that had befallen them. We tried to make friends with them by joining in their games. In a little while we became good friends and enjoyed a marvelous time together. If people are willing to show a little kindness, I am sure the world will be a much nicer place to live in.

(2)I had been planning to visit Taipei for a long time. Last summer I finally got the opportunity to see Taipei--I was there for a whole week. It was quite a surprise to find so many cars jamming the streets. And skyscrapers towering on either side of the street turned it into a canyon. People in Taipei seemed to be constantly racing against time. Everything there seemed to  move faster. During my stay in Taipei, I had the impression that it was a fast-growing city, that it became more and more sophisticated with each passing day.

(3)Some days ago I paid a visit to my best friend, a middle school classmate whom I hadn't seen for a long time. Since this get-together did not happen every day, we had a long and hearty chat about everything; not only things in our daily life, but also what had happened in the world. My friend's mother died when she was fourteen. As she was the oldest child in the family, she had to take up the responsibilities her mother left behind. This cost her the opportunity for further education. In comparison with her, I am lucky and fortunate. I certainly must work hard so as not to despoil my good fortune.
