When
I saw her tonight she smiled and recognized me. I smiled back at her. She was
looking more relaxed even though she was still busy doing her job. I have
noticed her several times this last few months and she always looks so much
happier now. Tonight when I talked with her I noticed her name tag. Her name is
Pamela.
Pamela
works at the express checkouts in a busy supermarket.
She deals with problems when the self-service checkout experiences a problem
(no price on product, machine problems, etc.). She monitors these checkouts and
usually has hardly dealt with one complaint before another is created.
When
I first talked to Pamela, I had called her to the checkout I was using. There
wasn't any problem with the checkout though. My problem or should I say concern
was about Pamela. She looked tired and was under a lot of stress as she quickly
moved from one checkout to the next. It's a bit of a fire-fighting job.
I
told Pamela that she needed to slow down. I told her she wasn't getting
paid enough to be working as hard as she was working. I told her that we, the customers,
could wait and it was very bad for her health to be putting herself
under such pressure. I told her that our expectations were not as hard
as the ones she set for herself. Pamela told me she would slow down. I could
tell she was touched that not only did I notice her stress but I chose to talk
to her about it and was concerned for her health. I gently told her things had
to change. I told her I would be looking out for her in future to see if she
had taken my advice on board. She smiled and said, "I promise that I will
next time."

Paragraph 1:
When
I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference.
Paragraph 2:
I
am proud of myself.
答案:Paragraph 1: When I saw her she was still doing her job but there was such a difference. I praised the new her. Now Pamela said that other customers would have to wait for their turn while she dealt with another customer. She told me the change had significantly improved her health. She added that she's also shared what I said with her colleagues. As I walked away from Pamela my heart was lightened. She has taken my advice on board and tried to slow down her working pace. A day's work means just that. It doesn't mean that one should put two days' work into one day. Paragraph 2: I am proud of myself. Not only have I caused Pamela to reflect on the pressure she was putting herself under, but also she in turn has encouraged her colleagues in the supermarket to do the same. I really feel very happy and satisfied for my concern and act of kindness do make a difference to those in need. It's just a simple act of love that costs no money. So my friends, our kindness doesn't have to be material, but just loving. Bless you all for all you do for others.
