I volunteered at a community library every Saturday morning,reading stories to young kids.It
was such a rewarding experience!The kids were so excited to listen to the stories,and they always
asked interesting questions.I prepared different picture books in English and Chinese each week,
and it made me more patient and responsible.Sometimes I even taught the kids simple English
words from the stories.I'll keep doing this volunteer work next term because it makes me feel
happv to bring joy to the kids.

A nudge )is a gentle push.Sometimes it's a physical push.A person might nudge a friend to
make him move out of the way,or a parent might nudge a child to get her to say thank you for a
gift.Sometimes a nudge is a mental (push.A boss might nudge workers to work faster by
reminding them that a deadline(最后期限)is coming up.
In design terms,nudges usually have two characteristics.First,they make one choice seem more
attractive and useful than the others.Second,design nudges don't say clearly what the best choice
is.They just suggest it in an indirect way.
We can see many examples where nudges help people choose what's good for them.Take students
as an example.Nudges can encourage them to give up negative behaviors,such as eating junk
food at lunch,and develop positive ones.Studies show that most people take the first three foods
they see more often than other foods.Schools can use this information to nudge students to eat
better by putting healthier food choices at the front of the line and unhealthy ones at the end.
Giving food nicer names can also change student choices."Cool summer salad"will probably be
more popular than just"salad".
However,not all design nudges are beneficial.For example,shops might shine a light on fruit,
using this nudge to increase sales.But it benefits shops,not customers.A hotel that offers a free
breakfast might choose to put low-cost but unhealthy food in a noticeable place and put
higher-cost but healthier food in a far corner.This helps the hotel save money but is bad for
guests.
Design nudges are all around us because they are effective.A growing number of people are now
using nudges on themselves to help overcome problems and make better choices.
