Band 8.0 Model Answer
Today I'm going to share with you about a craft work that 
a bunch of high school 
buddies
and I took part in. It was prior to Mid-Autumn Festival that our form 
teacher made a decision to 
hold a small competition
among our 
classmates. The theme was to design the most attractive and meaningful lantern 
My group 
decided on
creating a
 spinning lantern
’(while other groups 
chose much simpler shapes like butterflies, fish and stars. As a matter of fact, ours

Therefore, it was 
a bit tricky and time-consuming
to make it work. 
My 
assigned duty
was to cut the 
colored plastic papers
and 
draw some 
exotic pictures
to 
decorate the exterior
of the lantern. I drew great shapes 
and 
cut them out neatly, glued and stuck
them onto the shining outer surface of 
the spinning lantern. A couple of my friends 
strategized and positioned 
the axis 
so that it could spin properly. And we finished out product within 3 hours of hard 
work 
This craft activity had a realty special meaning for me. Actually, our team 
won the 
first prize
not only in our class, but the whole school as well. Afterwards, 
our lantern was 
singled out
and donated to a local orphanage. I was 
really 
moved and blissfully happy 
since we did accomplish something for 
those
