I can still remember Aunty Lim, the friendly old lady who used to live a stone’s throw from my house. She was always cheerful and greeted everyone with a warm smile. Sadly, she lost her husband in a fatal industrial accident many years ago. To make matters worse, she had (1) severed all ties with her four children after they (2) squandered all the money that she and her late husband had worked so hard to save.
Despite living alone and being in her sixties, Aunty Lim remained (3) full of vigour and seemed to enjoy her life thoroughly. As a (4) good-natured and friendly person, she spent her days gardening, chatting with neighbours, and helping those in need.

Today, she works at a home for the elderly, caring for the old and (5) desolate. Her compassion brings comfort to them, and she finds great happiness and purpose in her work.
