Our experience at the Children’s Medical Care Center was eye-opening. We saw a lot of children without hair due to their radioactive treatment. We played with them and taught them to draw pictures. The children,    1___    suffering such great pains, were so friendly that it was much easier to interact with them than we    2    (expect).
One day, an incident deeply touched us. A girl suggested that she teach us how to fold paper. She taught us with great patience,    3    (explain) each step slowly and clearly. Though we could easily do that, we still pretended to know nothing about it. We followed her, step by step, doing everything she told us. Finally,    4    we finished our work successfully, she gave each of us    5    big hug. We could see the pride and happiness on her face. Her father was so thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. And it was not until then    6    we knew the girl would receive an
operation the next day.
Many stories happened at the center. It was really a    7    (value) experience to us all, enriching our life in a positive way. The children’s happy faces and    8    strong minds will stay with us forever. The days we spent at the Center inspired us boys    9    (reflect) on many things. We began to reflect on how to deal with the difficulties in life, because our “troubles” seem not worth mentioning at all compared with    10    these innocent kids are going through.
