①Last Friday, our class held a special and meaningful activity — working in the field. The purpose of the activity was to give us a chance to experience farm life and improve our skills. We were excited when we heard the news.
②Guided by our teachers, we took part in the activity. Every eight students prepared their farming tools — together as a group, which played a key role in developing their ability to work with each other. Then, following a process including(包括) lining, turning, stepping and leveling the land, we managed to create an excellent environment for the growth of vegetables. Although there were challenges(挑战) like the hard soil and heavy tools, these could be seen as chances to build up both our bodies and willpower.
③At the end of the day, we students learned the skill of building cucumber frames(黄瓜架). It seemed easy to make them, but in fact, it was quite difficult to make them stand upright.
④Although it was tiring, we enjoyed the happiness of farming. "There couldn't be a better chance to enjoy the beauty of farming, which enhanced my responsibility(责任) to value the fruit of others' labor(劳动) and improved my skills," said Liu Li, one of my classmates. More amazingly, great influences(影响)were seen when it comes to students' daily life. "He began to make sure the zero-waste dinner, and loved planting in his bedroom", said a student's mother when talking about her son's progress.
⑤Some of the students even suggested making a school garden in the empty land so that they could grow their vegetables and enjoy the fruit of the labor. The teachers thought the idea was quite great.
