I thought I could have a good 47 ． But when I faced so many strangers, also my new workmates for the first time, I got nervous and 48 almost all the time．
Step2 Start work
My first job of volunteering was 49 in summer． The kids were from families 50 low income(低收人)．They were at different 51 ，from primary school pupils to high school students．We talked about the 52 ，sadness and happiness．I told them that lessons were much more important than money，though I knew they did not have 53 lives．I 54 that my experience would help them．
55 ，we needed to make better plans，and sometimes we didn’t know what to do at all，especially when 56 happened．
Step3 Wishes
I also 57 the older serving group．It seemed 58 more difficult to communicate with elders．I really hoped that I could bring 59 happiness into their lives and help them more．
Anyway，I am on the way． 1 will 60 my dream，no matter what would happen the next day．

Dear Mom and Dad,
I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t 21 about me. You know that Alice is one of my 22 friends. If you want to talk with me, you can 23 68610598 after 6:00 pm.
Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will 24 me to do so if I tell you first. 25 I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid 26 . I hope I can make decisions for 27 .
At home, there are too many 28 for me to obey: Don’t stay out so 29 ; don’t have meals before 30 hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be 31 teenagers, but we need freedom, too.
I don’t like doing my homework 32 at home. I’d love to study 33 Alice. We can learn a lot from each other. 34 please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you 35 , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.
Yours,
Lillian

There was once a lonely girl who wanted love very much．One day while she was walking in the forest，she found two birds．She took them home and put them in a small 1 ．She was happy to have two“friends”．She 2 them with love and the birds grew strong．One day the girl forgot to close the door of the cage．The 3 of the two flew out of the cage．The girl was afraid that it would fly away．She caught it quickly．She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away．Suddenly she couldn’t 4 a sound from the bird．When she opened her hand，the bird was already（已经）dead．Her 5 killed(杀死)the bird! Then she saw 6 bird jumping up and down 7 the cage．She could feel its great need for freedom．It wanted to fly into the blue sky．So she let it fly away 8 ．The bird circled(转圈)once，twice，and three times．The girl 9 as the bird flew．She didn’t care about losing the bird any more．She wanted it to be happy．Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder．It sang the 10 song she had ever heard(她所听过的)．
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly，and the best way to keep love is to give it wings．
