Question

閱讀下面短文，然后按照要求寫(xiě)一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

Oseola McCarty spent more than 75 years washing and ironing other people’s clothes. As a laundrywoman, she was paid only a few dollars each time. Certainly nobody would consider her rich, so they were all amazed when Miss McCarty decided to donate $ 150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi.

The money was all my savings. She could save such a large amount of money because she lived a very simple life. She never learned to drive, and when she wanted to go somewhere, she just walked. She never flew to anywhere till the donation（捐助），and in 50 years she had been out of the South only once. The house in which she lived was also a rather modest one her last uncle left her. Only after she became known in America did she begin to travel all over the country. Since then, she had been the subject of many interviews and articles and was even invited to the White House.

Her donation was for students who clearly needed financial help. She herself left school in the sixth grade and had never married or had children. She said to the reporters that the idea of helping somebody’s child go to college gave her much pleasure.

Answer 1

Oseola McCarty,an ordinary worker with a thrifty lifestyle,donated a great deal of money to a university ,which aroused public attention and earned her widespread social recognition.In return,she received a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Virtuous and warm-hearted,the lady concerned has donated a considerable amount of saving to help college students struggling with financial difficulties,thereby motivating people at any other corner of the world to participate in this affectionate activity.

From where I stand,not only will the lady’s generosity paint a very brilliant blue print for the future of those students in want of money,but also it will rekindle their faith in life by convincing them that their life goal is elevating and worth trying.

Given the choice,I would make donations to those who still live under the bottom line of the modern living condition.Convincing arguments as follows can be made to support my stance.For one thing,generous and selfless dedication may take indispensable assistance to them,especially for the time when they are confronted with pain and sorrow,twists and turns.For another,just as an Indian old saying goes, roses in her hand;flavor in mine.That is to say,great satisfaction would step slowly and gracefully in to the mercy-producers’ souls as well.

To bring as many angel-like smiles as possible to our society,we should practice more beneficial performance by leading a thrifty life.
