It is important to say" No" if necessary although it is not easy. My best friend Julia asked me to help her look after her pet dog when she travelled to Shanghai. I wanted to say" no" to her, but I agreed. I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} busy to look after it well, and then {#blank#}2{#/blank#} bad happened. Her dog got{#blank#}3{#/blank#} because of me. Julia was angry and said she wouldn't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in me anymore. I hoped she could trust me again. Then she said unless I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to take her dog to the animal hospital with her, she wouldn't forgive(原谅) me.

{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I broke my promise again. Because I had an important {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the next day. So I must prepare {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it. When Julia called me, I was studying for my exam carefully. I didn't answer the phone in time. This made her even {#blank#}9{#/blank#} than before. Later, I said sorry and talked to her about the reasons {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. She was so understanding that she forgave me.

From then on, I know that sometimes we need to say" No." It's important.

In Cixi, Zhejiang province, every family was enjoying the May Day holiday. A middle-age d man put down his chopsticks and went out with a tool bag, leaving his wife at home. He is Qian Haijun who was honored the title of "Model of the Times" on May 6th 2022.

Qian Haijun is a worker who deals with electric problems. In the past 23 years, he has spent all his spare time in helping a number of families with electric problems. Qian Haijun has made 500 cards with his name and telephone number and handed them out so that people would know who to call when a problem comes. He answers every call at any time and values them very much. People often say he not only lights up the rooms, but also lights up their hearts. He also pays much attention to the group of elderly people over 60 who live on their own. He realizes that the elderly need companionship（陪伴） more than anything else. Over the past few years, he has become the"good son" of more than 100 elderly people. 

His stories were made into a mini movie, and even the Ningbo and Cixi Volunteer Service Centres are named after him. Under his leadership, more than 1200 volunteers have joined the project for the disabled, covering places like Zhejiang, Tibet, Guizhou and Sichuan. And they have provided help more than 30000 times. 

"I am a common person, I will never think about stopping offering help to people in need, and Iwill try my best to bring beauty to the world", he said.
