But do you often say nice words to your friends？（62） Your nice words are important to them．So now tell your friend，"You look good today．"Say to your mother．"You're a good cook．"Say to your father，"（63） "．
Remember．（64） Don't say anything if you don't have anything good to say．（65） if you can't find anything good about people，or you will do more harm them good．
A．Speak out
B．Keep silent
C．You're a great father．
D．Thank you very much．
E．On that day people say something nice to others．
F．Your nice words must come from your heart．
G．Do you ever say anything good to your parents？

Working with children with special needs has changed my life．It has made me（39） others' needs．One of my teachers believes that we should be part of something bigger than （40） ．I never realized how true this was until I worked with these children．I believe everyone should get out and do something that makes a difference．
