Here are some ideas to get you started.Organize a blank driveIt is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own，or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations!Practise random acts of kindnessIll never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous (匿名的) guest. Its this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbours snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, youll never know how far your impact will reach.Say thank youJust a simple thankyou can make_somebodys_day，especially if they feel like their work is never noticed.Cultivate (培养) a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do.Use your talents to help the communityThe best way to show your appreciation for people is by using the talents and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate (协调) events and write，and so my way of reaching out to the community is through writing articles and creating awareness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit，put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care. Any talent can be used to help the community in meaningful ways. Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season.【语篇解读】 本文主要讲的是如何通过自己的努力去帮助别人，给他人带来幸福。9.
