Enjoy a song named “Chain of Love” and try to get the main idea of the song.
He was driving home one evening
in his beat up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down
her Mercedes had a flat
He could see that she was frightened
standing out there in the snow
'Til he said, I'm here to help you mam,
by the way my name is Joe
She said, I'm from St. Louis
and I'm only passing through
I must have seen a hundred cars
go by this is awful nice of you
When he changed the tire and closed her trunk
And was about to drive away
She said, How much do I owe you
Here's what he had to say
"You don't owe me a thing,
I've been there too
And someone once helped me out,
just the way I'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back
here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you"
And well a few miles down the road
the lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat
and then be on her way
But she couldn't help but notice
how the waitress smiled so sweet
And how she must've been eight months along
and dead on her feet
And though she didn't know her story
and she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change
from a hundred dollar bill
The lady slipped right out the door
and on a napkin left a note
There were tears in the waitress's eyes
when she read what she wrote
"You don't owe me a thing,
I've been there too
Someone once helped me out
just the way I'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back
here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you"
That night when she got home
from work the waitress climbed into bed
She was thinking about the money
and what the lady's note had said
As her husband lay there sleeping,
she whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright,
I love you, Joe

Host: Hello and welcome to the Rush Hour Show, the radio show for your way home. Our guest today is Kevin Miller, with the Pay It Forward Foundation. Welcome, Kevin, so what is "paying it forward"
Kevin: Hi, there. So "paying it forward" means that if you receive kindness from someone, you don't try to pay them back. Instead, you go out and show kindness to someone else.
Host: Oh, so it's like helping a stranger. Can you give us an example of how it works
Here is the tapescript. Try to find out the sequencing words and linking words.
Kevin: Well, I'm sure you've heard the famous country song, "Chain of Love". The song starts with a man who helps a lady whose car has broken down. The lady wants to pay him, but he won't accept payment, instead telling the woman to just show kindness to another person. Later, when the lady stops at a café, she notices her waitress is pregnant and tired. When the lady finishes eating, she pays for her meal with a hundred-dollar bill. Then the lady walks out, leaving the change and a note for the waitress. Her note tells the waitress to continue the chain of kindness. The song has a surprise ending. The waitress goes home to her husband, happy because of the kindness the lady showed her. Then we find out that he's the man who first started the chain of kindness!
Host: What a great story! So does this happen in real life
Kevin: Yes, actually. One woman, after paying for her coffee, then quietly paid for the coffee of the customer behind her. When that customer discovered his coffee had been paid for, he paid for the customer behind him. The chain of kindness continued for hours. Nearly 400 people paid for the coffee of the person behind them!
Host: Wow, that's amazing. So what can our listeners do to help
Kevin: Well, join the chain of kindness today and join the millions of people who are "paying it forward"! We never know what light we may spark in others by our kindness.
Let’s watch a short video and try to retell what the video is about.

Introduction (background; when and where the story took place)
Narrative (what happened step by step)
Conclusion (why it is important or why you remember it)
Once, I did not have money to go to university, and so someone paid my tuition that term. This happened when I was eighteen. My grandmother had just died, and this had caused my family
great expense, so we had no extra money at all. I did everything I could to raise the money, but it seemed hopeless. Then the morning that the tuition was due, someone gave my mother an
envelope with the money. It wasn't their money, and they wouldn’t say who it was from. It seems that some stranger had heard about my money problem and decided to help. This meant so much to me, as without it I would not have been able to go to university.
1. Do you think we can trust the kindness of strangers when we need help
2. Do you believe a small act of kindness can make a big difference
Choose one question and write down your understanding.
