—It is true that a friend _____ is a friend indeed.

    At first I didn't know what was happening to me. I started feeling sad,1and empty. My mum advised me to start 2others. I was confused (困惑的). But I decided to have a try. The next day, I went to a house.

    The house was for young girls. They were left behind by their 3. When I arrived, I felt 4. I didn't know how to talk to them. So I started helping them to do their homework. And I started going there very often and 5enjoying it.

    One day, I met a little girl in the house. She started asking me about my 6. She was interested while asking me questions about my family. I was really surprised because she seemed to 7 each of my answers. When I asked her if she knew her parents, she said no. This really broke my 8.

    When I left that day, the girl 9 me if I could visit her more often. I smiled and said yes. I was really happy to help this 10 girl. But in fact, this little girl helped me and taught me more.
