508's Secret English Garden

I haven’t regarded food as invaluable since I was young. I was always particular about carrots, green peppers and pumpkins when having a meal. Sometimes I didn’t finish my rice in bowl because I was totally full, so I poured out all the leftovers into the trash can. At that time, I didn’t view it as an awful deed until I saw news on TV.

It said that the people in Africa were so poor that they don’t have money to buy food to eat. They are starving and thirsty all day long so that their bodies are thin and weak. However, to my astonishment when they can’t help but feel hungry, they make several cookies which were made of grass and soil to provide some energy. Worst of all, on account of these diet problems, Africans have suffered from some terrible diseases like oedema not a disease for years. Besides, this situation is difficult to improve so they need assistance from all over the world.

After seeing that news, I feel quite regret about what I did before. I wasn’t content with my life and wasted too much food.

Therefore, I made a decision that I’ll squander no more and avoid extravagance. I can also save my pocket money to help the poor. I believe if everybody can give their little effort, the world would be much better.
