Willard Franklin came to my class half a year ago. From his first day here, he kept himself in his own world and never spoke to others. As his teacher, I tried {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) a talk with him but failed.
As Christmas came near, our school decided to raise money for the poor in our school.
"Christmas is a season of giving." I said, "By {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (give) a little money, you will help some poor students with toys, food and clothes. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (start) the collection tomorrow."
The next morning, Willard Franklin came up to my desk with his head down and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (drop) two coins into the small box. "I don't need milk for lunch," he said in a low voice.
After school I came to our headmaster's office when he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (read) a paper. I talked with our headmaster what had happened in the morning. "I may be wrong, but I usually thought Willard refused to be a part of our class. Could you please tell me how {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (solve) the problem?" The headmaster said, "I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help. Here, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (take) a look."
I found Willard Franklin was among them on the list. At that moment, I felt I really knew Willard for the first time: a cold face with a warm heart.
