Reading Activity 2:
The Unexpected Gift
On a quiet morning, Liam, Elena, and Maya gathered in their favorite café to work on a joint project, blending their passions for environmental conservation, language learning, and global exploration. As they were brainstorming ideas to create a multifaceted campaign that could touch on all their areas of expertise, Liam’s laptop pinged with a new email.
Going to for plans
“Guys, you won’t believe this,” Liam said, his voice a mix of surprise and excitement.
“What is it?” Elena leaned over, her curiosity piqued, while Maya looked on, equally intrigued.
“It’s an email from the Horizon Foundation,” Liam continued, reading aloud. “They’ve been following our individual and collective work and are impressed by our dedication to making a positive impact on the world.”
The Horizon Foundation, known for supporting innovative projects that aim to address global challenges, had decided to donate a substantial sum to Liam, Elena, and Maya. The funding was intended to support research, ideas, and creations deemed worthy by the trio, with the goal of amplifying their impact on environmental conservation, cultural exchange, and educational outreach.
“We believe in your vision and commitment,” the email concluded. “This donation is to help bring your ambitious projects to life. We look forward to seeing how your collective efforts will inspire change.”
The café was silent for a moment as the magnitude of the opportunity sank in. Then, the air filled with laughter and excited chatter about the possibilities that lay ahead.

“This is our chance to make a real difference,” Maya said, her eyes shining with determination.
“We’re going to use this gift wisely,” Elena added, already thinking about the language center she had always dreamed of creating.
“And document every step of the way,” Liam concluded, envisioning the powerful stories they could tell through photography and writing.
The funding from the Horizon Foundation was not just a financial boost; it was a validation of their hard work and a challenge to dream even bigger. As they left the café that day, the trio felt a renewed sense of purpose, ready to embark on a journey that would bring their most ambitious ideas to life.
