Question

“I can’t believe what I’m hearing! ”I thought to myself. Jeff was the last candidate（候选人）for president of Student Union. I really thought I should be chosen.

Later that day, I happened to pass Jeff in the dining room. I offered       a polite “Congratulations” and walked to my usual table. To my      , Jeff came to me and put his plate beside mine.

“I’m, er-I’m just wondering if you would consider coming to work on my team, ”he said nervously. “You are really       and you would be a great partner.”

“I don’t think so,” I replied, feeling unsure.

“Well,       you change your mind, you can tell me tomorrow. ”He said before moving to another table.

All that night, I thought about the       from Jeff. Maybe being a part of the election process（选举过程）would give me a chance to make important changes at our school. I decided to       Jeff.

My next step was to       what new activities students would like to have at our school. Many of them wanted a chess club and a volleyball team.

With the information I had collected, Jeff met with the headmaster. The headmaster agreed to add       we want to our school program.

With my help, Jeff and our ideas were well received at school.
