Last month,our school started a voluntary group called
"Sunshine Helpers".We wanted to help people in need in our
community.There are many ways to show kindness,and our
group tries to do small things that can make a big difference.
Some students visit elderly people who live alone.They
spend time talking with them,helping clean their houses,and
sometimes going for walks together.The elderly people feel
less lonely and really appreciate the company.Other students
help younger children with their homework after school.They
also read stories to them.I joined the group because I believe
that even little acts of kindness,like those in the poem "Little
Things"by Julia Carney,can make the earth happy.
One day,we went to a local hospital to learn about blood
donation.A doctor gave us a talk.She told us that donating
blood is a life-giving gift.Many patients in hospital need blood
to get better or even survive.She explained the different blood
types:A,B,AB,and O.People with type O blood are called
universal donors because their blood can be given to anyone in
need.People with type AB are universal recipients.I was
amazed to learn that one blood donation can help up to three
people!World Blood Donor Day is on June 14th,the birthday
of Karl Landsteiner,who discovered the blood groups.
After the visit,I decided that when I am older,I will do-
nate blood regularly.I also realized that kindness comes in
many forms.Sometimes it's a kind word,like in the poem by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:"Kind hearts are the gardens,
kind thoughts are the roots;kind words are the flowers,kind
deeds are the fruits."We should all try to be kind every day.
As Liu Bei said,"An act of kindness,no matter how small,is
worth performing.”
Now,I feel happy when I help others.Helping others also
helps me feel good about myself.I hope more students will
join our group and spread kindness.Together,we can make
the world a better place.

Is there something in your community that could be
changed?Is there a person in your neighbourhood who could
offer help?If you're hoping for someone to make a differ-
ence,that someone could be you!
Volunteering your time is a great way to make a differ-
ence in your community.You can do something to help people
or improve the places around you.
This past spring,my friends and I noticed how messy our
neighbourhood park was.We wanted it to be different.We
worked without parents and teachers to clean up the park.We
had a great time making the park even better than before,and
now the whole neighbourhood is able to share and enjoy it again.
Volunteering can not only do good in the community,it
can also make you happier.Studies show that people who vol-
unteer hardly develop depression(抑郁).
Find chances to do volunteer work that interests you.For
example,if you love animals,you can volunteer at an animal
shelter.If you love helping the environment,you can plant
trees or pick up rubbish.You can also help at an old people's
home,simply by talking or playing games with them to make
their days better.When you do these interesting work,it will
bring you a lot of happiness and make you enjoy the volunteer
experience.When the little things you do can change a
person's life,you will feel better about yourself.
You see,whatever you do as a volunteer,you make a
difference in your community.And our time will be enjoyed
and that always feels good.Kids everywhere are making a
difference by volunteering.You can too!

to the Philippines to help children who had holes in their lips
or inside their mouths.It was very difficult for them to eat and
drink.These volunteers worked very hard.But they worried
that they could not carry on with the work because they need
money.37 They called it Operation Smile.
Operation Smile works in more than twenty developing
countries and has cured over 300,000 children who have prob-
lems with their mouths.Operation Smile has won many prizes
for its work and in 1999,it even started a special event called
“World Journey of Hope”.38
On the other hand,Operation Smile trains local doctors
and nurses in developing countries.39 As to the children
with much more serious problems,they will send them to the
USA for further treatment.
So show your kindness and generosity to the needy chil-
dren now.40 Many thanks from the children who can
smile now will come to you.

Dear Jack,
I'm glad to know that you're coming to China.
China has long been known as a country of etiquette.
Here are some tips on how to behave properly.
When you visit,greet people warmly by saying
hello and shaking hands firmly.At the table,patiently
wait for elders to start eating first to show respect.
Don't talk with your mouth full and never point at any-
one with chopsticks,as it's impolite.Also,remember
to always stand in line and be polite in public places.
Be careful of your behaviour everywhere you go to
make a good impression.I'm sure you'll have a great
time here!
Yours,

Today,we are facing a serious problem.Some
people have too much food while some people go hun-
gry.Food banks help solve the problem.
How do food banks work?First.food bank col-
lects food from shops,restaurants,farms,or people.
Then they make sure that the food is good to eat.
Workers store the food in food banks.Sometimes,peo-
ple visit food banks to receive food.Sometimes,work-
ers visit hungry people and give out food.Sometimes,
people cook the food and serve it at a soup kitchen.
The result is always the same-hungry stomachs be-
come full.
Give to a food bank if you can.You will help
about 10 percent of people in need.
