The second Sunday in May is a volunteer day in my neighborhood. Last year, my neighbors and I decided to ________ in the cancer ward (病房) at the Royal Children’s Hospital. As Children’s Day was coming, the hospital wanted us to make some ________ with children.

The day before we went to the hospital, many of us were feeling quite ________. We didn’t know how we would react when seeing those sick ________. As we were preparing morning tea for them, I ________ some neighbors to make chocolate bread and candies at my home.

We arrived early at the hospital and were greeted ________ by the staff—it was ________ to know that they were welcoming us and the brightness we would offer. Our first ________ was to offer morning tea to the children who seemed a bit shy—it seemed that nothing broke the ________ better than candies!

It was then time to start making cards—we brought crayons, glue and shiny things to ________ the children! We talked with them and helped them make cards. It was surprising that our ________ immediately went away. Although they were seriously ill, they were ________. Most of them chose to use bright colors as they believed they would be ________ soon. For a time, we even ________ they were ill.

We left the hospital when it was dark. Although we were tired, we were happy to see ________ on those children’s faces.
