I sat down at my desk and started writing a letter of thankfulness, but when it came to actually putting the letter into the mailbox…I _______…I couldn't do it. I suddenly felt a sense of _______and insecurity(不安).
The letter was to an old teacher with whom I kept in _______on Facebook. For months, I read about what she _______on her Facebook page, which helped me to live my life differently. Her volunteer work wasn't huge._______, she was doing small, local good deeds._______, she changed my views on the world and for some reason, I felt I should let her know how her example _______ influenced me.
I could have easily sent her an email, but that seemed not enough for such an important thank-you. That's why I ended up
_______the letter. But now here I was, standing before the mailbox, unable to put the envelope inside. What was stopping me? It suddenly hit me that I was
_______of being too nice. I guess I felt strange
________it wasn't like she was my best friend or a relative. Maybe my letter was too heartfelt (衷心的,真诚的). I
________knew her. After thinking this over, I put the envelope in the mailbox
________.
Weeks later I received a message from her. It turned out she was
________ a hard time and my note
________ a lot to her. She said she had no idea she was playing such a big
________in others' life.
Not only did this letter make her happier, but her response to it brightened my world and
________my level of happiness as well. I was so
________that it had such a great influence on her that I decided to write a(n)
________letter to someone each month. Now it's easier for me to
________ the goodness in others and be more
________for this beautiful life I'm living.
