Homework
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your email asking about my views on the job of a clown doctor.
Clown doctors are people who dress up in colorful costumes and visit hospitals to cheer up sick patients, especially children. Through funny acts, jokes and magic tricks, they help reduce patients' pain and anxiety, making hospital stays less scary and more pleasant.
I think this is a truly meaningful and admirable job. Although they don’t perform medical treatments, the laughter and hope they bring can actually help patients recover faster. It takes a warm heart, a good sense of humor and great patience to do this job well.
If you enjoy making people happy and have a passion for helping others, I believe you would be excellent at it. You could start by volunteering at a local hospital to see if it's right for you.
Yours,
Li Hua
Thank you
for your listening
