“I can’t believe what I’m hearing!” I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate (候选人)for president of Student Council. My best friend Tony came to me and said, “I’m sorry, Mike. I really thought you should be  1 .”

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered him a   2 “Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my surprise, Jeff put his plate beside mine.

“I’m, er…I’m just wondering if you would …consider coming to work on my team,” he said  3 . “You are really smart, and you would be a great manager.”

“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.

“Well, if you change your mind, we are meeting tomorrow,” he said before moving to another table.

All that night, I thought about the offer from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process(选举过程) would give me a   4  to make important changes at our school. I decided to join them.

My first goal was to   5  an attractive advertisement. Within a few days, we designed a poster with Jeff’s pictures showing him in a number of activities. No one could walk through any hallway  6  passing Jeff’s smiling face.

My next step was to   7  which new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.

With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster   8 to add these activities to our school program.

An eighth grader said, “It’ll be like attending a new school with Jeff as president.”

Hearing these words made my heart filled with   9 . I had wanted to become president of Student Council to make a difference. I achieved that and more by working as a member of Jeff’s team. He became the most popular candidate and I was large part of his   10 . The fact that it has made a difference in other people’s lives is the real prize. What a great feeling!

Dear Mom,
I'm sorry that I can't go back home for Mother's Day next week. On that day, I'll have to go to an important meeting for my boss, who helps me a lot with my work and life here. But I'll find time to see you at home soon.
Mom, thank you for everything you've done for Tim and me. After Dad died ten years ago, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night. But you always gave us two your love and care. You don't have to work now, but I still remember your coming home and feeling tired many evenings.
Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home. I'm glad you won't live by yourself any more. Let's plan to take a trip in the near future. It's been years since the three of us took a trip together.
Happy Mother's Day. I love you!
Best wishes
John
