I really love volunteering, for example, helping the homeless is one of my favorite 1 .
When I was at school, I often helped my classmates. It was fun to 2 their studies. I wasn't really a top student who always got the 3 grades, but I could explain(解释) to them 4 . Now, when I'm 5 , I often volunteer on my town's main street. Every weekend, other 6 and I make some dishes by ourselves, set up a table in the street and give the food to the homeless. But we soon realized that just giving food was not 7 . Most of the homeless people are 8 , because they have no friends or relatives. What these people also need is warmth and 9 . So we always chat(聊天) with them. The long day makes us tired, but it also 10 me great joy. The look of joy on those people's 11 would make my weary(疲惫的) day into a good day. 12 we never receive(收到) any payment(报酬) for our hard work, the love that we get on the streets is our payment.
From my volunteering, I 13 that helping other not only makes others happy but also makes 14 happy. And maybe one day, the people once you helped would help you back 15 the end.

Kate's dream of helping poor people started when she was visiting her father, who worked for the homeless.
"I never knew that there were so many people in the world who didn't have home or food before,"said Kate, a university student. "I got to know that there was something important I had to do."
At the age of 14, Kate started to raise money with her friends to build a playground. "It took us two years,"she said."We did it little by little. We hoped our efforts(努力) could help make a difference."
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 importanttask for Kate's club. "This girl is changing some people's lives, and she is also changing the world,"said Kate's teacher.
Have you ever thought of what life is like for old people? Have you ever helped old people who live alone? Can they get help when they need it?
Six students from Beijing 101 Middle School looked deeper at this question and wrote a proposal(提案) to the China Youth Model Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference(全国青少年模拟政协).They advised to build more old people's service stations in the neighborhood. They also gave advice about how governments, neighborhoods and hospitals can work together to make this happen.
An old people's service station is different from a nursing home. It offers things like daytime care,cooking, cleaning and friendship to old people who live in their own homes. The students surveyed(调查)more than 1,100 people, and about 90 percent of them said they would prefer(更喜欢) using the stations'services to moving into a nursing home. However, there are not enough of these stations, and many are not run very well.
The six students came up with a solution after reading more than 60 surveys, interviewing 108 people and visiting 25 different organizations. Their proposal beat out almost 100 others to win the Best. Proposal award(奖项) in 2021.
"This experience helps me to better understand the importance of caring old people. Also I see the light and abilities in us,"said Xu Wanqing, one of the students.
"Taking part in the China Youth Model CPPCC has been good for students,"agreed their teacher Li Jie."They've developed a sense of caring old people, as well as got more confidence(自信) about themselves since they've seen how much they can do for others."

My mom always gives money to charities(慈善). We get more and (many) calls to our home. Letters are sent to Mom, all of them (be) with good reasons to ask for donations.
But Mom does not always have enough money (meet) all her urges(欲望). Sometimes she has to consider her choices (careful).
One day, Mom received letter with the title"Gift of Hope". The letter said,"It's not money I hope . It's the gift of hope for(family) that live in poor countries."
Mom continued(继续) reading the letter."With $19, you can give three hens to a family. The hens will(lay) eggs which the family can use to make money. With the money, the family can pay; their basic needs."
Mom (smile) as she read. She made a plan to save money and sent it to this charity whenever she can.
