An orphanage
I visited an orphanage today. The visit was part of our school ‘s program to make us more aware of the less fortunate.We rode on the school bus on the way to the orphanage. Everyone was happy along the way.After about thirty minutes the o orphanage came into view. It was a white washed building with a very wide yard in front of it. The yard was carpeted with grass and was planted with trees and flowering plants. There was also a playground with see-saws,swings and slides. Our teacher introduced us to the director of the orphanage and then he led us inside the orphanage. The children inside the orphanage were already waiting for us in a big hall when we got there. At first we didn’t know what to do. Then, our teacher told us to distribute the gifts we had brought with us for them. Most of the gifts were either clothes, toys or candies.
After that we started playing with them.We also played some games together. Then, we ate lunch together.In the afternoon the children performed some songs and dances for us. After each number everyone claped heartily. When it was time to go I couldn’t help feeling a bit sad. To me, these children became like my younger brothers and sisters. I wanted to bring them home with me so that they could have a family but I couldn’t. I felt really sorry for them because they didn’t have parents like we do. I think when I graduate from school, I would like to help these unfortunate children more.

孤儿院
今天我去拜访孤儿院，这是学校的活动之一，好让我们更多地了解较不幸的人。我们搭校车到孤儿院去，一路上，每个人都很高兴。大约三十分钟孤儿院就在眼前了。那是一幢粉刷成白色的建筑，前面有一个非常宽大的院子。院子上铺满绿草并种着树木及花朵。还有一个游乐场，上面有跷跷板、荡秋千和溜滑梯。老师介绍我们给孤儿院院长，然后带我们进孤儿院。我们到那里时，里面的孩子都已经在大厅等我们了。起初我们不知道要做什么，后来老师叫我们把带来的礼物分送给他们，大部分的礼物是衣服、玩具或是糖果。
然后，我们开始和他们玩，我们还一起玩了一些游戏，接着我们一块儿吃午餐。下午，小孩们表演一些唱歌和跳舞给我们看，每一首曲子表演完后我们都热烈鼓掌。离去时我禁不住感到一丝悲伤。对我而言，这些小孩变得像我的小弟弟小妹妹，我想带他们一起回家好让他们有个家庭，但是我却没办法。我真为他们感到难过，因为他们不像我们一样拥有父母。我想等我毕业后，我愿意多帮助这些不幸的孩子们。
