Kate’s dream of helping poor people started when she was visiting her father, who worked for the homeless.

In 2016, when Kate was 16, she visited some places in Africa. She saw many people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard (硬纸板). “The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there were eight people living in each one,” Kate said. “We also found some dirty rivers. Those people got drinking water from them.” The next year, Kate set up a club with her friends. It helped poor people in Africa.

Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for the people living in poor areas is now an important task for Kate’s club. “This girl is changing some people’s lives, and she is also changing the world,” said Kate’s teacher.

Dear Linda,

I know your school will hold an activity about helping others. Here are some ideas about it. As the saying goes, helping others     1     helping ourselves. Everyone needs help in life.

Last Saturday, our head teacher Ms. Li encouraged us to do some volunteer work in school. She also led (带领)     2     to the city park and the Children’s Hospital. It was my     3     time to be a volunteer. I was shy at first. I cleaned the benches (长椅) and picked     4     litter (垃圾) in the city park.     5     that time, I found people smiling at me. That made me happy. In the Children’s Hospital, I told the sick kids some stories and jokes to     6     them up. At the end of the day, I felt really tired     7     happy. I was glad that I could do something for them.

Volunteering is a great job. It can not only help others but also bring us happiness and develop ourselves. Though it may be a small thing, it can make     8     great difference to the world. We should be ready     9     help others in our daily life. Try our     10     to help others. That means helping ourselves. So take action and be helpful.

Yours,

Li Hua
