Two days ago, a terrible earthquake happened in Wenchuan Country, Sichuan Province. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives , and many people became homeless. Money or life necessities donated by many countries were sent to the people who needed. Although I am only a student, I should do what I can do to help those who are in trouble . So I left my pocket money to the Red Cross today. I think if everyone makes a contribution to our world, the world will become more beautiful.
