Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
Doing kind things for people is good for a person’s health. It makes the person receiving the help feel happy, too. It doesn’t have to be a major thing, either. Picking up rubbish in the park or putting your neighbour’s bins out are good examples. In fact, the offer of help, even if not accepted, can be good for people.
So how does it make the person being kind feel happy? Well, one reason is that it gives a person a purpose. Another is that it helps them to connect with other people. Humans are social creatures. Technology may have changed the way we communicate, but we still have the same needs. So today the offers of help may come via text message. People who don’t like new technology shouldn’t ignore these offers. They are just kind offers coming in a different way.
