Question

【題目】 Can you remember a time when somebody was kind to you? Maybe a stranger allowed you to go in front of him in a queue. Or perhaps a friend helped you in a much deeper way. There are a million ways to offer kindness.

Why should we be kind?

Being kind is a win-win situation. It brings happiness to both the receiver and the doer of this kind action. Let's imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. How about taking a moment to mention this to him? Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise，and you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy.

What are "random acts of kindness"?

Many organizations encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible. Their idea is that it doesn't take any plan to be kind，just a little bit of effort. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)Foundation，who work with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. They believe that kindness can be taught.

How can I be kind？

The RAK website suggests some ways to show kindness. Generally，they fall into three categories（類別）．The first is interpersonal kindness, like donating old clothes to charity or writing a positive online comment about a restaurant. The second is environmental kindness，which could mean recycling or cleaning a local park. The third category is personal kindness，which means treating yourself kindly，such as taking a walk in nature or treating yourself to a big meal. By being kind to yourself，you will be kinder to the world around you.

What is World Kindness Day?

World Kindness Day takes place on 13November. People in many countries celebrate this day by being kind and having lots of fun. One typical event is to use “kindness cards”．You hand a kindness card to somebody when you do a kind act for him. Then it is his turn to pass on the card by doing a kind act for another person.

Being kind has a sort of ripple（漣漪）effect. This means that one kind action leads to more and more. So don't wait for kindness to find you，go and start a new ripple！
