Lisa has always been overweight. She wanted to lose weight, not just because she wanted to 1 more beautiful and healthier, but also because it would make life easier. For example, it was 2 for Lisa to find ready-made clothes that would fit. She had to ask a tailor(裁缝) to make clothes that were large enough. At school, she needed a special chair which was bigger and 3 than the other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very quickly. She was also unhappy about the way people 4 her sometimes. "People look at me and even make fun of me. That's5 ! It's true that I'm overweight, but I don't think people should treat me differently because I'm big. I can't enjoy having dinner with my friends because I'm afraid of getting fatter. " Her friends and family 6 made fun of her. They tried to help her 7 . They wanted her to be happy and healthy. Sometimes when Lisa was feeling sad, she didn't want to speak to anyone.

But now things are quite different. Last month her classmates were preparing for the School 8  Week. Someone advised Lisa to play the lead role of the proud Queen(女王) who was tall and fat. Lisa 9  it and practiced a lot. 

Soon after the play, Lisa became the 10 ! She did so well that everybody remembered the proud Queen. They stood around her and said"Congratulations!"to her. She even won the School Best Actress Award for her wonderful performance.

Now Lisa doesn't worry about being fat any more. She believes in the English saying"Every dog has its day. "

A volunteer experience

It was March 2018. I was finishing high school. While I was looking forward to my college years, I also felt a strong desire to volunteer abroad. After weeks of serious consideration, I decided to have a gap year(间隔年).

I cannot tell you how many hours I spent trying to find the programme I was most interested in. I contacted many volunteer organizations. In the end, I signed up with " African Impact". I wanted to make an impact（影响）-no matter how small-on Africa and its people.

I took part in the Child Care Project. We worked in an orphanage (孤儿院) in Cape Town( 开普敦） and spent time with a group of orphans（孤儿） between the ages of 0 and 3. There was nothing as exciting as seeing a baby taking her first steps, hearing a two-year-old girl repeat all of the letters in the alphabet after I said them, seeing a little boy kick or catch balls of different sizes, and watching all of the kids carefully wash their hands as it became a habit. These were the skills that I watched the children develop during my time there. My heart was filled with pride.

I also took part in the Teaching Project and worked in a preschool. Teaching was more tiring. Some children were naughty. They didn't always listen to me. But it's hard to describe the joy I felt when the kids finally understood what I was trying to teach them.

Volunteering in Cape Town changed my life. It has changed who I am as a person. I cannot be more grateful for this amazing experience.

It's 2: 30 in the afternoon. The house is quiet(安静的). " Tom?" Mom says. No one answers(没有人回答).

Mom comes to Tom's room. He is not on the bed, but his model plane is on the desk." He is not in his room, and he is not in the yard," Mom thinks. Then Mom comes to his grandparents' room. Tom likes to play with his grandpa's tape player, but he is not there. Mom looks for Tom everywhere. Where is Tom? Mom is worried. She wants to call Dad. She comes to the living room to get the phone." What's that?" Mom sees something black under the sofa. Oh, it's Eric, Tom's dog. It loves sleeping(睡觉) there. What is next to Eric? It's Tom!

Today, as I was shopping at Woolworths, a kind worker surprised me with a beautiful bunch of flowers. It was my unexpected act of1 that let me know the power of simple words.

2 year(s) earlier, I was going through chemo treatment(化疗) and felt3 and down. My husband and children were also bearing a lot. They were busy on weekdays, 4 I always stayed at home alone. One thing I could do to help was to order things for daily use 5 online click- and- collect services. Before checking out, I would 6 notes for the person who packed(打包) our order- things like" Hope you' re having a good day!" or" Thank you for your hard work."

Fast forward to today, and I found myself 7 with one of the workers who had 8 our orders in the past. I walked up to her and said," Thank you so much for what you did! You usually did our orders. You guys are fantastic!" She stopped for a few 9 and then asked my name at once. When I told her, she said," Oh, you are the lady who wrote notes for 10 !" She told me that those little notes truly made their day bright, especially during the 11 times of the epidemic. It was surprising to hear that such12 acts of kindness could make such a big difference.

After finishing my shopping, she ran up to me with a bunch of flowers,13 me for brightening their day with my kind words. I 14 thought that my simple acts could make a world of difference in someone's day. Even15 as simple as saying" thank you" or leaving a kind note can lift someone's spirits. Three years has passed and it still makes them feel valued and thankful.
