是否有帮助无家可归的人时发生的的趣闻轶事?
英语老师布置假期作文,主题是help the homeless,要求开头引用一段趣闻轶事作为导入
Here are some things you can do to help people who are homeless.1. Become familiar with community programs in your area that provide help. When someone asks for help, you can direct that person to a program that will provide the help they need . 2. Do not assume that homeless persons are alike.There are a number of circumstances that cause a person to become homeless. The shabby person on the street may be the stereotype, but the homeless person may be a woman fleeing a domestic violence situation with her children, someone who is working but unable to make enough to pay the rent, or someone living out of a car. 3. Talk to the person with respect.Homeless people face isolation and scorn. It means a lot when someone addresses them in a civil, polite way. 4. Share the love.Encourage the person with loving words and actions. You may be amazed at that person's faith in light of his or her circumstances.5. Pray for them.I have been amazed at how much homeless persons appreciate someone taking the time to listen to their concerns and pray with them. 6. Consider carefully before giving cash.It is often easier to give cash to a homeless person than to take the time to help with the person's actual needs. If someone says he needs money for food, it is better to buy food than to give cash. Cash may present a temptation to purchase drugs or alcohol, or it may even make the recipient a victim of crime. 7. Take precautions for your own safety.While most homeless persons are not dangerous, there are some who may present a threat to you. You can let the person know in a courteous manner that you are taking precautions because you don't know him and that you expect him to respect your boundaries.8. Support policies that help poor and homeless persons.Many persons cannot afford housing because the cost of rent is beyond their income level. Often organizations who try to help special populations run into opposition from community groups who say, "Not in my backyard!" You can advocate for more affordable housing for low-income workers and for facilities in your community that help persons who need housing and assistance because of domestic violence, mental illness, and addiction.动力所在刚到伦敦读大学时,从萨塞克斯的一个小镇来到大城市的转变确实让我很翟惊.你会看见很多露宿者,却根本不知道要怎样做.你会跟他们聊天,无视他们,走开还是给他们钱?说实话,我对露宿者一无所知,还觉得他们挺吓人的.你听过这些故事—他们是酒鬼,因吸毒而神智恍惚,或者是小偷什么的.我的一个朋友参加了一个帮助露宿者的计划,所以我决定找一个星期跟着去.每个周日晚上,一群学生会在学生大厅里做三明治,然后开车到霍尔本区派发.起初我以为我们只需要去到那里,派完食物就离开.但实际上我们在那里待了差不多一个小时,跟他们聊天,聆听他们的故事.我认识到露宿者也是有血有肉的人,他们有着非凡的经历.有时候,他们露宿街头的原因简直让人难以置信;当然也有好故事.有这么一个男人总是说自己是一名街道清扫工,住房救济名单上有他的名字.我以为他只是说说而已,但是有一个星期他回来说:“我只是顺道过来说再见,我找到落脚点了.”他记得我们,还回来告诉我们这个消息,这实在是太棒了.每当发生这样的好事,我都会感到很满足.进一步投入在那里帮忙了一年后,他们问我想不想进一步参与其中,于是现在所有事情都由我组织
