C Read a student's blog entry about helping children with ASD. Rewrite the underlined sentences using “it is + adjective + (for/of ... +) to - infinitive”.
Last weekend, I spent an afternoon with children with ASD. People with ASD usually have difficulty with language and social skills. $^{(1)}$ Communicating with other people is often hard for them.
This volunteer event took place in the art room of a community centre. Volunteers, children and their grandparents all took part. $^{(2)}$ Being part of such a caring group of people was great.
I worked with a boy named Max and his grandma, Mrs Wang. We were supposed to create a painting together. At first, Max didn’t talk much. $^{(3)}$ Knowing how to start our painting was difficult for me. But soon, Max painted a tree. Then, he offered me a brush, and I did the same. When he noticed my tree, he gave me a big smile. $^{(4)}$ Connecting with him like that was wonderful! Finally, we painted a whole forest together!
After the event, Mrs Wang shook my hand and said, “$^{(5)}$ You are so thoughtful to volunteer today.” But I thought, “$^{(6)}$ Max is kind enough to spend his afternoon with me!” It was a great event and a great afternoon.

Dear community members,
I am writing to encourage you to join a volunteer effort to keep our community clean. As many of you may have noticed, there is litter in some areas, like plastic bottles in the park and paper on the sidewalks. This makes our community look messy and harms the environment.

The good news is that we can make a difference. I suggest that we organize a weekly clean-up activity. My plan is to start next Saturday morning. We will meet at the community center at 9:00 a.m., divide into groups, and clean areas like the park, building entrances, and the small square. We will bring gloves, trash bags, and small tools to pick up litter. We can also put up "No Littering" signs to remind everyone.
Please join us! It’s a small act, but together, we can make our community cleaner and more beautiful. After all, a clean place makes everyone happy. Thank you for considering this. I look forward to seeing you next Saturday.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
