My family live in a town. We usually have a party before the New Year for our friends and neighborswe're available. We often ask them to bring something for someone in need instead of (代替) gifts for us. They never refuse(do) so. For example, they can bring food for a poor family or clothes for charities (慈善机构). It's always fun and everyone has a good time.
Last year, I was ill (病的) on the day of my party and wentthe doctor. As a result, I didn't have the party. Everyone was disappointed (失望的), so I decided to havetwo weeks later.
We asked for children's hats for a charity. We also asked for reading(glass) for the city library, so those who needed glasses or(forget) theirs could work on computers or read books in the library.
We invited about 100 people to the party. It was(snow) that day but everyone came to the party. We got 83 hats and 47 pairs of glasses! We were(surprise) that people could be so generous (慷慨的) in helping others.
you prepare to have a party, think about doing the same things. Others will benefit (受益) much more than we would with lots of(gift).
