Chile⁽¹⁾ is a long and beautiful   country with the ocean⁽²⁾ to the west⁽³⁾ and mountains to the east⁽⁴⁾ . Some of the villages are a very long way from the   cities , and some of the schools are very small .

It’s   difficult for small schools to teach science because they don’t have enough   teachers or equipment (设备) . This is where the Science Bus project⁽⁵⁾ can help . The bus brings special science teachers   , new ideas , and equipment to schools in different parts of the   country . Sometimes , the children go inside the bus for their science   classes or clubs . Sometimes , the teachers bring the equipment inside   the school building . The children do experiments⁽⁶⁾ . The materials used   in the experiments⁽⁶⁾ are easy to find-for[为] example , recycled⁽⁷⁾plastic⁽⁸⁾ bottles[瓶子]—so[所以] that the class teacher can repeal⁽⁹⁾ the experiments⁽⁶⁾ with the class after the   bus leaves⁽¹⁰⁾ .

The goal⁽¹¹⁾ of the Science Bus is to bring science to children   all over Chile⁽¹⁾ . Since 2012 , the bus has   visited many schools in Chile⁽¹⁾ , and hundreds of teachers   have learned how to make their science classes fun and exciting⁽¹²⁾ .

In   other parts of the world , children can take part in events⁽¹³⁾called⁽¹⁴⁾ Bioblitzes[生物大调查] . During a Bioblitz[生物大调查] , scientists , families , students , teachers ,   and other people work together to collect as many different kinds of plants   and animals as possible in a certain place , such as a park or a forest .   Bioblitzes[生物大调查] are a fun way to help scientists and to discover   more about the plants and animals around us .

Science   is important for all of us because it helps us understand our world . We can   learn about science inside or outside of the classroom .

Last   month , the local community invited⁽²¹⁾ kids   to sing for the elderly at the nursing home . Grandma asked if I could come   and sing the song that she taught⁽²²⁾ me   when I was a little girl . I didn’t want to let her down , but singing⁽²³⁾ in public really troubled⁽²⁴⁾ me a lot .

“I   can’t do it . I’m too shy . ” I told my worry to my friends Molly and Emily .

“You’re   not alone , ” said⁽²⁵⁾ Molly   . “I feel nervous about singing⁽²³⁾ in   public too . ”

“Don’t   worry ! I have an idea ! ” said⁽²⁵⁾ Emily   . “I mean , I always feel braver with friends . How about the three of us   sing together ? ”

After  talking⁽²⁶⁾ about it for a while , we agreed⁽²⁷⁾ happily . Over the next few days , we practiced⁽²⁸⁾ the song so many times that we could not get it out   of our heads .

Finally   , the big day came . I wasn’t the only one who was nervous . Molly’s legs   were shaking⁽²⁹⁾ .   Emily’s hands were wet , but she still encouraged us , “We can become braver   and stronger when we are together . ”

Emily   was right . As soon as we started singing⁽²³⁾ ,   our nervousness⁽³⁰⁾ went   away . The pretty and relaxing⁽³¹⁾ song   just seemed to sing itself . The hall was filled⁽³²⁾ with  cheers⁽³³⁾ . Some of the elderly even joined⁽³⁴⁾ us . With more people singing⁽²³⁾ together , we sang more confidently . When we finished⁽³⁵⁾singing⁽²³⁾ , Grandma came onto the stage and gave us   all a warm group hug .
