Every summer, Sarah and her friends go camping in the mountains. They love being outdoors
and enjoy the fresh air and quiet environment. During the day, they go hiking on narrow trails
that lead to beautiful waterfalls. Sarah always takes her camera to capture the amazing views.
Her friends like to bring snacks and share them when they take a break.
At night, they gather around the campfire to stay warm. Sarah tells funny stories, and her
friends laugh loudly. They also roast marshmallows and sometimes sing songs. Sarah feels
relaxed in the mountains because there is no noise from the city, and she can see a sky full of
stars.
On their last camping trip, something unexpected happened. While they were hiking, Sarah’s
friend Emma lost her way for a short time. Everyone was worried, but Emma quickly found
the trail again. After that, they decided to stick together and be more careful. Despite the little
scare, Sarah said it was one of the best trips she had ever had.

Tom loves animals and dreams of becoming a veterinarian. Every weekend, he volunteers at
the local animal shelter. His job is to feed the animals, clean their cages, and sometimes play
with them. Tom especially enjoys spending time with the dogs. They always wag their tails
happily when they see him.
One day, a small dog arrived at the shelter. It looked scared and tired, so Tom decided to take
extra care of it. He named the dog Max and gave it food, water, and a warm blanket. Over the
next few days, Max started to trust Tom and even learned to play fetch with him.
After a month, Max found a new home with a kind family. Tom felt both happy and sad when
the dog left. He was proud to see Max healthy and excited about its new life, but he also knew
