As some famous stars would come to the show．one of my   7   was to introduce each of them．I also had   8   things to do．So I often worked from morning tin night．It was hard work，  9   I was happy．

I practiced a lot before the show．I had to remember all the words and do everything right at tile same time．At first, I thought l would never be able to do it well．I kept   10   myself not to be nervous．Slowly everything became easier．

The big day came very fast．  11   people came to the show．They donated money and materials．And the local businesses also gave   12   a lot of support．  13   generous they are!
