My family live in a town. We usually have a 1 before the New Year for our friends and neighbors. We often ask them to 2 something for someone in need instead of gifts for us. 3 , they can bring food or clothes for charities. It's always fun.
Last year, I was ill 4 the day of my party. As a result, I didn't have the party. Everyone was disappointed, 5 I decided to have it two weeks later.
We asked for children's hats for a charity. We 6 asked for reading glasses for the city library, so those who needed glasses or 7 to bring theirs could read books in the library.
We 8 about 100 people to the party. We got 83 hats and 47 pairs of glasses! We were 9 that people could be so generous(慷慨的) in helping others.
If you 10 to have a party, think about doing the same thing. Others will benefit(受益) much more than we would with lots of gifts.
