The curious case of the old diary
One rainy afternoon, while cleaning the attic, Emma stumbled upon an old, dusty diary hidden beneath a pile of boxes. The cover was worn, and the pages were yellowed with age. Curious, she opened it and found that it belonged to her great-grandmother, Clara, who had lived in the same house over a hundred years ago.
As Emma flipped through the pages, she noticed that Clara had written about a mysterious treasure hidden somewhere in the house. Clara's entries described clues and riddles leading to its location. Emma's curiosity grew stronger with every page she read. She decided to follow the clues, hoping to uncover the treasure herself.
The first clue led her to the old oak tree in the backyard. Underneath its roots, she found a small key. The next clue pointed her to the fireplace in the living room. There, she discovered a hidden compartment behind a loose brick. Inside was a map with more instructions. Emma's heart raced as she realized she was getting closer to the treasure.
Finally, after hours of searching, Emma found herself in front of an old wardrobe in the attic. Using the key she had found earlier, she unlocked a secret drawer. Inside was a small box filled with old coins, jewelry, and a letter from Clara. The letter explained that the “treasure” was meant to be a gift for future generations, a way to connect the past with the present.

In America today, there are almost as many people making their living as博gers as there are lawyers. Already more Americans are making their main income from posting their opinions than those working as computer programmers or firefighters.
The position of bloggers has grown greatly over the past ten years. Blogging is an important social and cultural movement that people care passionately about and the number of people doing it for at least some income is about 1% of American adults.
What started as a discussion platform for modern politics and new technologies has now been applied to education, health care, the arts, fashion—— and just about every other possible area of life.
As bloggers have increased in numbers, the number of reporters has significantly declined. In Washington alone, there are now 79% fewer reporters of major newspapers than there were just a few years ago. At the same time, Washington is easily the most blogged关about city in America, if not the world.

W: That sounds terrible. What inspired you to take action

W: That's amazing What has Park Rescue achieved so far
M: We' ve done a lot Our members have used their free time to clean the park. We've removed tons of rubbish, started cleaning the lake, and mended a lot of broken seats. We' ve also bought new picnic tables, planted flowers, and 60 young trees.
W: Wow, that's a lot of progress in just six months How have you managed to get so many people involved
M: I've talked about the project on the radio and put articles in the local newspaper. So far, about120 people have joined Park Rescue. We've also organized concerts and collected money in the street. With these activities and the help of some local business people, we've raised over 4,000pounds.
W: That's incredible! What's next for Park Rescue
M: We haven't finished yet. We want to create a skateboarding area, and we' re seeing some great signs of progress. Birds have started to come back to the park, and it's becoming a place people can enjoy again. The old café is also going to open soon, which will be great for the community.
W: That's fantastic to hear. If someone wants to help or get involved, how can they contact you
M: They can reach me on our website. We'd love to have more people join us in making the park a better place for everyone.
W: Thank you so much, Michael, for all your hard work and for sharing your story with us. We wish you and Park Rescue all the best in your future projects!
