Hello, everyone. Because of the high rate of school violence(暴力) in some areas, teenagers’ safety becomes a serious problem. We are planning to set up an organization named School Watch to make sure that students have a safe school environment. Please be part of our plan!

What is School Watch?

School Watch is a volunteer project in our school. It helps us stop violence and improve the quality of school life. It will keep yourself and your schoolmates safe. The other members of School Watch care for you and your classroom, and you do the same for them.

Is it for everyone?

Anybody can become a member of School Watch because everyone has something to offer.

What else can it do?

School Watch makes it possible for us not only to help each other but also to make friends with each other. Some members may offer to help the schoolmates who have problems with their homework.

Rose watched as her friend, Melissa, and three other girls practiced their dance moves. Rose told her mom, “I want to take ballet(芭蕾)lessons!” Her mom was happy and bought her a dress. Rose went to the lessons. But she found it boring to do the same movements(动作) again and again. After a few lessons, Rose told her mom, “I’m not going to the lessons anymore.” Bored, she drew a picture of a lovely “ballerina”. She said to herself,” I’m not good at anything.”

One day after school, Rose visited Amanda. Amanda was practicing the guitar. Rose told her mom when she came back home, “I want to play the guitar!” Her mom bought a secondhand guitar for her. She tried to play it, but the strings(弦) hurt her fingers and she had to rest. Bored, Rose drew a picture of a girl playing the guitar. She sighed and thought, “ I’m not good at anything.”

“Charlie, what should I do? Tomorrow is Talent Day at school, but I don’t have talent for anything,” she asked her brother. “Well, you could take your drawings,” Charlie suggested.

Rose sighed. What else could she do? The next day, she put her drawings in her bag and went to school with heavy steps.
