In the past↓, President Lincoln↑ often visited hospitals // to talk with wounded soldiers // for

comfort↑ and encouragement↑.


Once↓, doctors were giving pain medication // to a young soldier who was badly injured //
and near death↓.
The president went over to his bedside↑ // and asked what he could do for him.
The soldier obviously didn’t recognize↓ him, // and with some effort, he was able to
whisper, // “Please↑ write a letter to my grandmother↓.”
The president strained to hear // and write down the young man’s words exactly as spoken.
After fifteen↑ minutes, // when the soldier was too sluggish to continue, // the president
signed the letter for him // and added, // “Written for Tom Smith↑ by the president of the
USA.”
The young man requested to see the hand-written note, // and was astonished when he
discovered who wrote it.
Despite his weakness↓, // he grasped the president’s hand, // and squeezed it to express his
appreciation↑.
Unfortunately, he and the medical team could not overcome the damage to his body.

In this world, some people are merciful↑, // but others are unmerciful↓. // However,
everyone can get some inspiration // from a generous↑ act of kindness↑.

Recent years have seen the appearance of different // means of communication.


In addition to newspapers, mobile phones, and televisions, // an increasing number of people
have a computer at home, // and they use it to play video games, surf the internet, // and
generate documents.

The Bright City

In the bustling city, // there are many skyscrapers and modern buildings.
The old buildings, // however, stand in stark contrast to the new designs that surround
them.
Tall trees line the streets, // offering shade and beauty to the busy commuters.
Yet, in the quiet neighbourhoods, // life moves at a slower pace, // where people enjoy
peaceful parks and charming cafes.
Some people prefer the fast-paced life of the city, // but others enjoy the calmness of rural
areas.
The city’s energy is something you can feel, // especially in the crowded market and the
lively street corners, // where vendors sell everything from fresh produce to handmade
goods.
But not everyone likes this constant activity. ↑
Some people long for the silence of nature, // far from the noise of the traffic. ↓
Some prefer the quiet life, // while others enjoy the excitement of the city.
While the young generation embraces the vibrant city life, // the older generation often
recalls the simpler times, // when the streets were less crowded and life was slower. ↓
Even so, there is no denying that the city’s pulse never stops, // and that keeps the heart of
the city beating. ↓
It’s clear that while some people thrive in the city’s chaos, // others find peace in the
countryside’s stillness. ↑
The contrast between these two ways of life highlights what is most important to each
person: // the energy of the city, // or the serenity of nature. ↓
