    When I was a young girl, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents, who lived in a community especially for the elderly and near to an old people's home. They used to tell me that few volunteers would go there and said if someone elderly engages me in  36  ，I'd better make time for them. As a result，I   37  be the only person they got to talk to that day. I've never forgotten this and still  38   time to chat with elderly people.

    So when I   39  a 100-dollar prize in the kindness competition for my community, I  40 thought of the elderly! I then  41  my local community centre and told them how I'd made a suggestion that if I had 100 dollars to  42  my community, I would use it for the elderly who were living    43  . I asked, "Could you do something a bit  44  so that they could all get something from this   45  ？”"Yes, of course, we could do a buffet (自助餐）and dance,”the centre manager told me.

    I thought this was a fantastic   46  and a very worthwhile use of the   47  ．We bought food and beverages (饮料) enough to serve about 30 elderly residents. A poster was    48  to announce it and it was   49  for an afternoon.

    I went up to see how it was all  50  and it turned out to be a very enjoyable afternoon. I was very  51  to see that the people I wanted to serve had a wonderful and enjoyable times. It  52  me that one is never too   53  to have fun! I knew my grandparents would have been very  54 of me. It also helped me to remember that whatever is going on in the world，we can still make a(n) 55 to other people's lives.
