My senior year of high school was an extremely busy one, If I wasn't studying and worrying about my grades,I was taking part in multiple after-class activities or attempting to make preparations for college.
Finally, as my senior year began to wind down, I got a part-time job at a local cafe. I had figured that the job would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring excellent coffee, making delicious cakes and becoming close friends with the regular customers.
Who I hadn't counted on mere the,people,with,great,orders that chose to use the drive through window, or the women who felt that the coffee was much too creamy, or the men that wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until it reached a certain level of perfection.There were moments when I was annoyed with the human race as a whole, simply because I couldn't seem to please anyone. Nevertheless, I kept at it.
One rainy day, l spent my afternoon handing people their orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies, I tried to smile as the customers complained about the rain, but it was difficult to smile as they sat in their temperature-controlled cars with the windows rolled up while I dealt with huge droplets of water hanging from my visor(遮阳帽舌). On top of that, no one was tipping, Every time I looked into my nearly empty tip jar, I grew more depressed.
Around four o'clock, one of my regular customers named Peter came in looking depressed and defeated. My co-worker and I asked what the problem was and if we could help, but he wouldn't reveal any details, He just said he felt like crawling into bed, pulling the sheets up over his head and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.
Para. 1 I decided to do something to lift his spirits.
Para. 2 Chatting with me for a while, Peter seemed to gain a newfound energy.

【答案】
I quickly made him a special coffee, adding an extra shot of his favorite flavor and a dollop of whipped cream on top.
I carried the coffee over to his table with a warm smile.
"Here you go, Peter. Maybe this will make you feel a little better," I said softly.
He looked up at me with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Then a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Thank you, kid." I sat down and we started chatting.
He told me about his recent struggles at work and how the rain had added to his depression.
I listened attentively, offering words of encouragement and sharing some of my own experience.
He appreciated me for what I had done for him.
After a while, he got up to leave.
But before he did, he reached into his wallet and pulled out a few bills, placing them into the tip jar with a grin.
"For your kindness today," he said.
I was touched by his gesture.
It was a small act, but it meant a lot to me.
From that day on, we became friends.
Our interactions at the cafe always brought a smile to my face.
It reminded me that a simple act of kindness could have a profound impact on someone's day.
Even in the midst of chaos, there was always room for connection and warmth.
