Four Ways to Make Someone Else Smile
If you make even one person smile today,you can help make this world a better place.Here is a list of ideas to help you.What are you waiting for?
Send a handwritten letter
Today,almost everything is sent via Internet.__1__.Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive connection.Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day—all for the price of a stamp!
Volunteer
Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project,volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do.Whether you assist at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk,the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is incredible.__2__.And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your time—it could be once a week or a couple of times a year.
__3__
Whether you're creative or not,taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them.__4__,the receiver will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into.Some ideas could include a card,painting,drawing,song,poem or cake!
Say “I love you” to someone you care about
It can be anyone—your mum or dad,grandparents,family member,or any friend.And you don't even have to say “I love you”.Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you,or remind your mum that you love her.__5__.
A.Buy a special gift for a loved one
B.Even if you think you're not creative
C.Make something for a special person
D.It's a surprise to receive a letter through the post
E.Though the gift you purchase may not make any difference
F.There are so many opportunities,so you are sure to find one that is right for you
G.Sometimes,in our busy lives,we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us
