When he passed by a water tap(水龍頭), he found that water was still running.Someone forgot to turn it off although it was the easiest thing for him to turn it off, and he should have done so，he seemed not to have noticed it and went on walking as if nothing was happening there.   
Just then, Mary was passing by and noticed that. Who left the water running after using it? she thought to herself. She rushed to the tap and turned it off as quickly as possible.When　Mary was doing that, Peter was right there, standing beside her with a cold look. Mary turned to him and scolded him for not having turned off the tap. “It is none of my business！”Peter said coldly, Besides, it was not I who had turned it on.”Hearing this, Mary was very disappointed and she was at a great loss.

Answer 1

Possible version: 
Try to Do the Small Things around You   
Peter found water running out of a tap but turned a blind eye to it，while Mary, a girl of responsibilities, took a different attitude and rushed to turn it off.  
(簡要評述Mary或Peter的行為并說明你的理由) As for me, Mary is really great, because she is ready to do something that seems very small. Maybe her behavior is very common in someone’s eyes, but it is playing and will continue to play an important part in our daily life.   
(敘述你或你身邊所發(fā)生的類似的故事)We could see such kinds of small things around us every day. For example, when we leave the classroom, we just ignore the lights and computers and leave them on; when we have dinners, we often use the one time used chopsticks and plastic bags; when we finish some drinks and food, we throw the leftover very causally. Water wasting is often noticed here and there, too. For example, when some students take a bath, wash their hands, bowls or clothes, the running water doesn’t stop until everything ends. What’s worse, some students seldom turn off the tap/water, leaving it dropping all the way, even if everything is finished.    Are you familiar with those occasions? Are you one of those people that we have mentioned above? Have you ever thought about those bad effects on our environment?   (談?wù)勀愕母惺芘c啟)發(fā)As we all know, actions speak louder than words. We should take action to do the small things around us to protect our environment. Remember: every little contribution counts.
