【推荐1】When I was fifteen years old，I became very interested in shopping.    1     I had many things that I no longer needed at home. I knew with the help of my father, I could make money. For months and months I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s bank account.

On July 18th, 2015, I made my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around the house wasn’t enough for me.     2     I went around to the yard sale and bought things at low prices and sold them at higher prices to make money.

Last October, I went to a yard sale that was a little bit different. A lady had many nice things to sell.     3     Through the communication, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to feed her family. I thought I could do it better and more quickly for her. So I made up my mind to help her out. She looked at me for a while and then said yes.     4     When I gave her the money, she broke down into tears thankfully.

    5     I know my skills could be used to help those in need and that even one small act of kindness could make a difference.

【推荐3】Michael Platte, a 12-year-old boy, is from the USA. He likes making cupcakes (纸杯蛋糕). His grandma is his teacher. Now he’s good at making all kinds of cupcakes. He always makes cupcakes on Sunday afternoon and takes some to his classmates the next morning. They say the cupcakes are nice.

One day, Michael sees a boy standing in front of (在……前面) a cake store for a long time. He is from a shelter (收容所). He stands there and watches a big cake. The boy loves it, but he doesn’t have money. Michael really wants to help the homeless children like the boy. Then with his family’s help, Michael has a small cupcake store-Michael’s Desserts. When Michael sells one cupcake, he gives $0.5 to the shelter. And every week he gives about $15 to it. It’s not much money, but his small act of kindness (善举) can help those children.
