Helping others makes a better world
Hello, everyone! It’s my honor to speak here. My topic is “Helping others makes a better world”.
There are some advantages of helping others. First of all, with our help, people in need can get out of trouble easily. Also, helping others makes ourselves happy. This is because when we help others, we will also feel good about doing a good deed. Just as the saying goes, “Helping others is a great way to feel better about yourself.”
What can we do to help others? For example, we can raise money to help the poor children. Taking care of the old people in the old people’s home also helps a lot.
So, everyone, let’s take action to help others. Helping others not only makes our lives colourful but also makes a better world.
