3 . Everyone has ever been in a situation where they need some help. Unfortunately, it can feel tough to ask for help. Maybe you feel embarrassed or scared that you’ll be turned down.     1    .

Choose the right time

Don’t ask someone for help when they are obviously busy. For example, don’t ask your professor for help with homework right as they are trying to start class. If you’re not sure whether or not it is a good time, just ask. You can say, “I’d love to ask for your help with something.     2    ?”

Speak up

In most cases, if you don’t ask for help, you won’t receive it. Sometimes people might be hesitant to step up and offer help. If you need something, speak up and ask.     3    . If you’re lost, step into a nearby store to ask for directions, or ask the bus driver which bus station you want to go to. Don’t feel embarrassed by asking for help.

    4    

People aren’t mind readers. Instead of just saying “I need help.”, clearly state what it is that you need. For example, instead of saying to your teacher “I’m confused. Can you help me?”, say “I don’t understand how to solve the math problem. Can you please show me a sample problem?”

Be determined

    5    . That can be frustrating (令人沮丧的). However, it is important not to give up. Keep trying to get help and make it work for you. You might feel like you don’t receive the sort of helpful advice that you are hoping for. Just try again. Sometimes, you may need to reach out to a few people before getting assistance.

A．Be specific

B．Ask in a positive way

C．Can you help me again

D．Here are some tips for you

E．Is there a time that’s good for you to talk

F．For example, maybe you’re traveling alone in a new city

G．Sometimes, the help you get might not be what you expected

Participating in the school club has been a rewarding experience for everyone involved. It allows me to learn the local dance,     4     makes my experience more interesting.

These interactions are also helpful to intercultural connections, creating a more inclusive school community.

Even though it only takes an hour and a half out of my week, I have noticed a significant change about the students’ attitudes when I enter the classroom. They are truly happy to have me there, and their interest in     6     world has increased. The club has created memorable experiences for the students, allowing them to connect with someone from a different culture in a     7     (mean) way. Witnessing this effect on the students has made me feel more fulfilled in my role as a volunteer teacher and     8     (inspire) me to continue to make a difference in their lives.     9     is remarkable that a small     10     (contribute) can have a significant impact.

A boy called Jamy always arrived home hungry every day and his parents couldn’t figure out why, despite making meals for him. When Jamy wouldn’t share what was going on, his parents decided to visit the school principal (校长), hoping the principal could offer some insight.

After talking with Jamy’s classmates, the principal and his parents heard a story they weren’t expecting. Although Jamy never talked about it, his classmates told them that he always came to school without food. The principal and his parents were shocked. No wonder Jamy was always so hungry after school! Was there something happening on the way to school that Jamy didn’t tell them?

To make the situation clear, the principal asked Jamy’s teacher, Callum to talk to Jamy in private. During the conversation with the teacher, Jamy refused to say any further details about the situation, leaving everyone frustrated and helpless. And despite multiple questioning, Jamy still refused to say any knowledge of the situation. This left the principal with no evidence to take any action regarding the missing lunch of Jamy.

Jamy’s parents were becoming increasingly concerned as their child continued to come home from school without saying a word. Despite their meeting in the school, they thought that they hadn’t gotten any closer to uncovering the truth about why Jamy was always so hungry. The lack of communication from their child only added to their frustration and helplessness. They knew they needed to take action, but they had no idea where to start.

Determined to get to the bottom of the problem, Jamy’s father decided to take action again. The next day, Jamy’s father went to school and requested to speak with Jamy’s teacher Callum.

When Jamy’s father reached the school, Callum spoke with him and patiently answered all of his questions. However, despite a deep conversation between them, no conclusion could be reached, which still puzzled Jamy’s parents.

1．续写词数应为 150左右;
