Work from meaning to form. Identify subject, time or comparison, choose the pattern, then read the whole sentence.
Hi Linh,
Last summer I helped at a neighbourhood book collection. We met at the community hall on a Saturday morning. I checked clean books while my friends sorted them for younger readers. An adult carried the heavy boxes. By lunchtime the shelves were ready, and we thanked the donors. I enjoyed working with the group because each small task mattered. What did you do last summer?
Best,
Mai
