Question

    Have you ever felt lonely when you have a rest? The task of Jack, a 3rd- grade school-boy in America, is to end playground loneliness(孤独). And he is making waves with the help of the BuddyBench.

The Buddy Bench is a place where children can go if they have no friends to play with. Kids who see someone on the bench can then go over and ask them to play. It is a simple, but very smart idea, and it is now forming friendships all over America.

When Jack was in the 1st grade, his family was thinking about moving to Germany. While looking at school brochures(手册)，he saw a photo of a playground with a special  bench for anyone who was lonely.

Although he did not move to Germany, he liked this idea so much that he discussed it with his teacher and the head teacher. They also thought it was a great idea and soon the school bought their first Buddy Bench! The kids loved it!

Since then, children and schools across America have learned about it and the benches have started to show up all over! Jack's action and proactivity(积极性)are living proof(证明)that a child can change the world. All it takes is a good idea, some passion and to follow through.
