Leifeng was known as a pattern that offered help to others selflessly. He devoted all this life into his beloved career as well. I, myself, was totally shocked by his character.
Such is human nature; people trace the good, water flows to low. Everyone should copy his sprit as our daily life goes instead of uttering a meaningless slogan “learn from Leifeng, our decent idol”， so that we could definitely see a lot more smiling faces rather than conflict.
To help others is not a hard thing, however, what you need is to consist doing it. Take myself as an example. I am the representative of Math, to collect homework is my daily task, however, I would turn them to the right page for shorten the time for teachers when correcting them.
I strongly propose that we shall see a better world if each of us treat Leifeng as our model and copy his spirit.

As we know, water is very important to man, we can't live without water. The amount of water which is suitable to drink is less and less. But some people don't care about it. They waste a lot of water in their daily life. Even worse, they pour dirty water into rivers. They throw rubbish into rivers, too. Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted. Something must be done to stop the pollution. And I think it's a great shame to waste while millions are in great need of water. I think what we can do is that we have to save every drop of water as possible as we can. For example, we must turn off the tap immediately after we use it. We can use a basin to wash our hands and faces. It's also a good idea to encourage my friends and family members to join me! Only in this way can we live happily. If we don't save water, the last drop of water will be a tear-drop of us. I believe if everyone makes a little effort, we can make a big difference.
