I came across a website a few days ago. After I spent hours reading all the stories on it , I was deeply moved by them. So I couldn't wait to order a lot of smile cards online immediately. I _______ my new idea with my best friend, Annie, my roommate and she got so excited that she agreed to start the work with me and make the people in the city _______ on the smile cards gradually.

We set down to prepare for it until the smile cards arrived. We put money with some cards and chocolate with the others.

Then we walked _______ and found some lovely people that we would give our smile cards to. At first, we went into a shopping mall. We caught _______ of a young woman there and went over to ask her if she would pass the card along. She gave a big smile and said she would. Outside the mall. we saw an elderly man _______ a heavy hag. It seemed that he needed some help. When we handed smile card to him, he just stood there, looking between us and the small parcel (包裹) . He looked a little _______by it all. In a hospital, we met with an old lady waiting for her treatment.

Annie showed kindness to her and she had a big _______on her face even though she hadn't opened the card with money inside.

Life is not easy, so I'd like to say, "Whatever happens, believe in yourself." When I was a young boy, I was so shy that I was afraid to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad and could do nothing.

Later, something happened. and it changed my life. It was a speech competition(比赛).

My mother encouraged (鼓励) me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school!

"Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself". I did my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With mother's great love, I did well in the competition. I couldn't believe my ears when the news came that I won the first place. I heard the cheers (赞美) from the teachers and students. They all said "Congratulations(祝贺)!” to me.

When I do everything now, I try to tell myself to be confident and I will find myself.
