A: I like the story of Daniel Black the best. Because he chose to donate all his savings to help a young boy in need, even though he was also in need of medical treatment himself. This shows selflessness and kindness towards others.

B: The story of Hoàng Tuấn Anh is inspiring for me because he used his skills and resources to help provide food for the poor during the COVID-19 pandemic. It demonstrates innovation and community spirit.​
