Lifeart is a student-run organization founded by one of my best friends at my school in Boston, US. It gathers its members together to make artwork to sell for one 1 : funding (资助) cancer research.
Since the students at our school can only 2 us so much, we took our artwork to the 3 of Boston one spring day to try and sell it to the 4.
We set up near the entrance of an underground station, thinking that people might be more likely to 5 our artwork if they were going home. It was quite 6 to control the situation at first. It was 7 that day, so our canvases (帆布) kept on falling over, and the price tags kept on blowing away. All of us were quite 8 as well and were afraid to ask people if they would consider buying our artwork.
Finally, one of the brave girls, Luna, talked to our first9 . Although he did not buy anything, it gave a little bit of 10 in the rest of us. Then I tried to talk to a Korean woman passing by. I felt a little 11when she said that she didn't have time, but my courage had grown with this short conversation with a 12 .
At the end of the day, we sold a respectable amount of artwork. It might not have been as much as we 13 , but we agreed as a group that the 14 of gaining and exercising our courage made up for the 15 .
