—Mr. Black. He bought it last year.

—It's my pleasure.

Linda and her brother, John, have saved money for many years. One day, Linda emptied her money jar."I would like to help other people with the money,"she said.

"We can do a lot for others with all the money,"John said with a smile."But who shall we help?"Linda asked."Let's help our neighbors, Billy and his sister, Rose. I found that there were some holes in their shoes,"John said.""Linda said.

Linda and John told their mother their plan. She was glad and took them to a shoe store at once. They picked out two pairs of shoes for Rose and Billy.When it was dark, John put the boxes near Billy and Rose's door, and knocked hard, and then ra n away quickly. Billy and Rose came out."Look! There are presents(礼物) for us,"Billy said. They looked around, but they didn't find anyone.

The next morning, when Linda and John went out, they saw Billy and Rose wearing their new shoes.

I so me clothes to the little girl because they are too small for me.

The local government  na ture parks to protect animals in the wild.

We'd like the sick kids.

—Really? But why is he so weak(虚弱的) now?

I really love volunteering, for example, helping the homeless is one of my favorite 1 .

When I was at school, I often helped my classmates. It was fun to 2 their studies. I wasn't really a top student who always got the 3 grades, but I could explain(解释) to them 4 . Now, when I'm 5 , I often volunteer on my town's main street. Every weekend, other 6 and I make some dishes by ourselves, set up a table in the street and give the food to the homeless. But we soon realized that just giving food was not 7 . Most of the homeless people are 8 , because they have no friends or relatives. What these people also need is warmth and 9 . So we always chat(聊天) with them. The long day makes us tired, but it also 10 me great joy. The look of joy on those people's 11 would make my weary(疲惫的) day into a good day. 12 we never receive(收到) any payment(报酬) for our hard work, the love that we get on the streets is our payment.

From my volunteering, I 13 that helping other not only makes others happy but also makes 14 happy. And maybe one day, the people once you helped would help you back 15 the end.
