As a foreign English teacher at my school in Japan, I have a _________ English music broadcast where I show different English songs for all the students during their lunch break.

I try to get the students to recommend songs to me for the broadcast every week. I give everyone a chance to _________ themselves through their music, including one _________ student of mine. This student constantly gets into fights with the other students, and brings _________ the energy of the class. Most of the other teachers and students _________ him away. I know, though, that he just needs a friend, or at least someone he can connect with.

I could tell he was warming up to me over the last year. I told him to _________ a song he liked that had some _________ words in it. He eventually recommended a song. I actually really liked the song so I put it on the broadcast and made sure to announce his _________, so everyone knew that he recommended such a great song, which made him _________ . Though everyone else __________ him, I could see __________ and know that he just needed someone who __________ him.

There was still a language barrier (障碍) between us, but there was no need of __________, you could always sense where you were with someone.

He recently walked by me and gave me the sincerest __________ that I’d ever seen. My coworker turned to me and said, “I’ve never seen his face shine like that before. How did you get through to him?” “I gave him a(n) __________,” I said, “through just one song.”

My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “________ my job. Family to Feed.”

At this store, a ________ like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and make a comment   on how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind.

In the store, I asked each of my kids to ________ something they thought our “friend” there would appreciate. They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a ________. I thought about it. We were ________ on cash ourselves, but... well, sometimes ________ from our need instead of our abundance is ________ what we need to do! All the kids declared something they could do away with for the week.

When we handed him the bag of ________, he lit up and thanked us with ________ eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for whatever his family might need, he burst into tears.

This has been a wonderful ________ for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can ________! Things would have played out so ________ if I had simply said, “No, we really don’t have ________ to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in ________, it also gave my kids the ________ taste of helping others. It’ll go a long way with them.
