I have finally been able to become an active volunteer(n.志愿者) with the Free Meal Program in the city {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I live. I will volunteer(v.做自愿者) at weekends and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hopeful), I will help feed less fortunate people at the Rescue Center every week. At the thought of this, I can't feel {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (happy)!

    I have applied at several other places {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (volunteer), like SPCA and my local hospital. There is a great sense of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (accomplish) and pure joy in giving back to the community, helping others and in showing kindness. This is one of the things I live {#blank#}6{#/blank#}! I want to do what I can for society and help make a difference. I wish that many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (inspire) to devote a bit of their time to local organizations in the future. There's always {#blank#}8{#/blank#} strong need for people to come together and help out fellow humans and animals too! When {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (do) voluntary work, we do our part in helping others. Meanwhile, volunteering {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (promote) our social awareness. We all believe volunteering is rewarding and look forward to more of it.

Over the past years, Starbucks coffee {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) a coffee chain store. The cafes don't sell coffee; they sell {#blank#}2{#/blank#}very atmosphere. They offer customers the perfect atmosphere{#blank#}3{#/blank#}which they can take time out and relax. Every single store throughout the world is furnished in a romantic style and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(special)meant to be cozy, private and quiet: earth-toned(褐色调)space, fancy wall paper, lovely paintings,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (amaze)background and irresistible coffee smell. The most fantastic decoration style about Starbucks {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(design)with oversized chairs and tables outside the store. When {#blank#}7{#/blank#}comes to a sunny afternoon, I love to take a seat outside,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bathe) in the afternoon sunshine, and listening to the lovely music {#blank#}9{#/blank#}tasting the most terrific Cappuccino. This is exactly what I love in here—the Starbucks! This is the café I love not merely because of the café itself, but also because of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(feel)it brings me.

    A young man, while traveling through a desert, came across a spring of clear water. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}water was sweet. He filled his leather container so that he could bring some back to an elder {#blank#}2{#/blank#}had been his teacher.
