What’s the video about
What kind of good deeds are shown in the video
What idea does the video convey
The video shows good deeds such as visiting an elderly neighbor and asking if they need anything, letting a restaurant manager know just how great their waiter or waitress is, helping a classmate with their studies, asking someone who looks lost if they need directions, and offering to help out with something in the home.
We should always be ready to help others, because one small act can make a big difference.
Look at the pictures of the three people and read the quotations.
Talk about the following points:
the contribution these people made to society
the qualities you admire in each of them
other people who have similar qualities
一位老人、一辆三轮车、35 万元捐款、300 多名贫困学生老人走了,了无牵挂地走了,然而老人的爱却永远地留在了这个世界上。这爱从那小小的铁皮屋里涌出,从那小小的三轮车里流出,这爱汇集在那些贫困的学生身上,并由他们不断地向外延伸。这爱感动的不仅仅是300多名贫困学生,而且感动了中国。那从车轱辘流淌出来 的爱,驮起的是座永远的丰碑。
——感动中国人物颁奖词
