I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.
One day, while I was 1 on the street, I heard the piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to 2 where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano.
She was singing songs about love, 3 yourself and keeping on trying. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there 4, watching her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be 5 enough to perform in front of so many people.
She noticed me: I walked over and told her how good her 6 sounded. "Thank you," she said.
"I have been going through a hard time recently, 7 you've made me hopeful again." I said to her.
"I'm glad that I could help," she replied. "Why are you so 8?"
"Well, my mum has lost her job, and I'm not sure what to do.”
"Did you notice the 9 you were walking? Your head was down." she said. "Don't be upset, because 10 comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should 11 more and lift your head up. "
I looked 12 her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. " 13 are you playing the piano here?" I asked her with a smile.
She 14 that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer 15 up by playing music.
I smiled a little wilder, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.
Around the world, summer vacation means long days, sunshine, swimming, sleeping and most importantly, no school.
Hundreds of years ago, students took the summer off to help their parents in the fields. Today, however, summers are full of fun-no work. A summer vacation means so many opportunities for kids: extra classes, sports, hobbies or catching up on studies.
If you're lucky, during the weeks away from school, you can volunteer, travel or go to a camp. It's time to do a part-time job to learn a new skill. You may hang out with friends all day. Some kids just kick off their shoes and jump into rivers and swimming pools.
If you're not so lucky, summer vacation may mean summer school-a long, hot summer inside the classroom.
Whatever your plans are, make this summer a good one. Take on a project! Learn something! Help someone! Make this summer one to remember.
