5. What can we do to help people in the disaster-stricken area?

汶川地震给每个人都留下沉痛的回忆，灾后重建需要长期的大量的工作。我们能做的也许微乎其微，但万众一心，众志成城，定能帮助灾区中的人们摆脱生活和心理上的阴霾。

Candidate 1: On May 12th 2008, a destructive earthquake befell Sichuan province, and the whole China was in a panic at that time. We not only worried about if the people could withstand the disaster, but also cared about what to do to help people in the disaster-stricken area.

Different forms of rescue activities were launched everywhere. Some people donated their blood to the injured; others sent their clothes and living stuffs to the victims in Sichuan; lots of volunteers went to the earthquake-stricken area to help the survivors; the rich offered financial support for the rebuilding of schools in Sichuan. As long as we make joint efforts to help the people in disaster-stricken areas, what we do could be much valuable.

Candidate 2: Firstly, we should follow with the situation in the disaster-stricken area. Only by knowing the current state can we offer the most appropriate aid. Secondly, we can donate money, clothes or other materials that people are short of. Thirdly, if they have to move to other areas to get further treatment or continue their study, we should try our best to do them a favor, helping alleviate their suffering and adjust themselves to the new environment. Being students, though we have no chance to get access to the disaster-stricken area, there are still other means available. Last but not least, we can correspond with our peers who have survived in the disaster but lost their beloved families. We can comfort them sincerely and stir them to conquer the nightmare and bounce back. Let them believe that where there is love, there is a brilliant future.

回答中透露出答题者对地震灾区深深的关爱，他们都不约而同地提到了捐款、捐物、献血等等，特别是Candidate 2提出从心灵上给予那些在地震中受到伤害的同学以帮助，例如和灾区同学结成伙伴，使他们尽早摆脱孤独感和心理伤害。对于学生而言，这无疑是一种力所能及而且切实可行的办法。从构思看，答题者都能准确运用关联词，一气呵成，重点突出。
