5．There are a lot of things you can do to help others，whether it's with your mom's chores，or if a friend is upset．Here are some little things you can do to reach out to other people and they will bring benefits such as happiness．
Try to offer first．When people need your help，they'll most likely ask you first，but if you have the chance，try to offer to help before they ask you．This will show that you are willing to help from the start．For example，if you see a friend struggling to carry groceries，offer to help．Or if you see them getting bullied，help them stand up．Or if you see them getting pushed down or beaten，ask"Are you all right？"and help them up．Then try to cheer them up．Believe me，helping people will always make you feel better because it is the right thing to do．
Put yourself in someone else's shoes．Being compassionate（有同情心）can give you a strong reason to help someone else．It can also show people that you really do care about someone．
Volunteer or donate．Being in charitable organizations is a great way to help the less fortunate，like donating food or money to the poor．
Listen．You obviously can't know what you need to do if you're not even paying attention．Plus，people aren't going to rely on you very much if you act like you don't even care what they're saying．Think about what might happen if you don't．More people will feel more miserable if you just leave them when they need you，and you don't want to see people unhappy，do you？Don't stress yourself too much，but it's always nice to lend a hand．
