Larry Stewart came from humble beginnings. Born in Mississippi in 1948, he was brought up by his grandparents. In 1971, Larry found himself jobless and starving for several days. After a free meal given by a restaurant's owner, he vowed to help others whenever he could. Larry then moved to Kansas City, where he was fortunate enough to make money in cable television. He began helping the less fortunate in 1979, and stories of “Secret Santa’ started to emerge from the city. For over 26 years, he handed out thousands of dollars every Christmas to the needy in public places - without ever revealing his identity. The more he gave, the more stories of his generosity spread across the United States. Secret Santa became famous, yet still anonymous. He kept his identity hidden until 2006, when he was diagnosed with cancer, which later claimed his life. Since Larry Stewart's death in 2007, his example has inspired others to continue his mission of kindness and charitable work. |

Born in 1988, Le Thanh Thuy was awarded the title ‘Ho Chi Minh City utstanding Young Citizen’ in 2006, a ear before she passed away. As soon Thuy started high school in 2003, she was diagnosed with bone cancer and doctors decided to amputate her leg to save her life. Thuy's repeated hospitalisations over four years did not stop her from helping other patients. Her dream was to initiate a fund to help young cancer patients. Whenever Thuy could move around, she organised different charity activities to relieve the young patients' pain. Thuy's meaningful work was welcomed and supported by the community. As a result, Thuy's Dream Programme was launched and is currently managed by The Tuoi Tre. The Tuoi Tre has continued to hold annual events to support her programme. The most important one is the Sunflower Festival, where children and their families get together and have fun. Gifts are given to the young patients, and the memory of Thuy is kept a ive by ner story about love and sharing. |

ĐÁP ÁN:
a. In 2015, I first went to the festival held at Cau Giay park, Hanoi city with my older sister. She was a volunteer at the festival. I helped my sister and her team make some hand-made things to sell at the festival. All the amount of money collected was then donated to the fund to save young cancer patients.
b. Yes, I'd like. Because I love children and I want to do some meaningful things to support unlucky ones. I will help to fold paper sunflowers and teach those children how to draw. Seeing their little beautiful smiles will certainly make me happy.
