Answer 1

The Spring Festival is coming. It was seven o’clock in the morning. Four of my friends and I got together at the school gate and went to the nearest old people’s home called Wulin Old People’s Home to visit the old people there. It’s so near that we went there on foot. That is one of our winter vacation’s volunteer activities. Yesterday we went shopping to buy nice snacks like cakes and candies for the old people.
When we got there, we sent our gifts to them first. They looked so happy. After that, we cleaned their rooms and washed their clothes. Also, to make them happier and more relaxed, we acted for them, singing and dancing. Later we had a talk with them and got them so excited all the time. It took us the whole morning to be with them.  As teenagers, we should learn to care about others and respecting old people is our duty. We felt tired when we left, but I think it’s a special day.
    What a good day!

解析这篇作文是日记题材，根据要点提示，要包括1. 来回的时间及方式；2. 活动内容， 3. 活动感受：围绕要点进行描写，也可以适当增减，还要注意时态的运用，日记主要用过去时 ，另外还要注意运用一些复杂的句型，例如：It’s so near that we went there on foot.that引导的是结果状语从句，to make them happier and more relaxed, we acted for them, singing and dancing.不定式做得是目的状语，现在分词做得是伴随状语。
