为了帮助老人院的爷爷奶奶，我们班决定举办一场爱心义卖会。
wèi le bāng zhù lǎo rén yuàn de yé ye nǎi nai wǒ men bān jué dìng jǔ bàn yì chǎng ài xīn yì mài huì
To help the grandpas and grandmas at the old folks' home, our class decided to hold a charity sale.
同学们在家里烤了饼干，还做了漂亮的书签，准备拿来卖。
tóng xué men zài jiā lǐ kǎo le bǐng gān hái zuò le piào liang de shū qiān zhǔn bèi ná lái mài
My classmates baked cookies at home and made pretty bookmarks to sell.
义卖会开始了，可是过了半个小时，只有两三个人来买东西。
yì mài huì kāi shǐ le kě shì guò le bàn gè xiǎo shí zhǐ yǒu liǎng sān gè rén lái mǎi dōng xi
The sale began, but after half an hour only two or three people had come to buy anything.
大家看着满桌子的饼干，急得像热锅上的蚂蚁。
dà jiā kàn zhe mǎn zhuō zi de bǐng gān jí de xiàng rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ
Looking at the table full of cookies, we were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
这时，小文想出了一个好主意：我们可以请大家免费试吃！
zhè shí Xiǎo Wén xiǎng chū le yí gè hǎo zhǔ yi wǒ men kě yǐ qǐng dà jiā miǎn fèi shì chī
Just then, Xiaowen came up with a good idea: we could let everyone taste the cookies for free!
我们还画了一张大海报，上面写着“献出爱心，温暖老人”。
wǒ men hái huà le yì zhāng dà hǎi bào shàng miàn xiě zhe xiàn chū ài xīn wēn nuǎn lǎo rén
We also drew a big poster that said “Give with a loving heart, warm the hearts of the elderly.”
尝过饼干的人都说好吃，不一会，桌上的东西就被一抢而空了。
cháng guò bǐng gān de rén dōu shuō hǎo chī bù yí huì zhuō shàng de dōng xi jiù bèi yì qiǎng ér kōng le
Everyone who tasted the cookies said they were delicious, and before long everything on the table was snapped up.
我们一共筹到了八百多元，老师说这些钱会送到老人院去。
wǒ men yí gòng chóu dào le bā bǎi duō yuán lǎo shī shuō zhè xiē qián huì sòng dào lǎo rén yuàn qù
We raised more than 800 dollars altogether, and our teacher said the money would go to the old folks' home.
