Classmates give boy new clothes after he’s bullied for wearing same outfit

Heartwarming video shows Michael Todd, who has been bullied his “entire life”, visibly stunned as Kristopher Graham and Antwann Garrett give him new clothes and trainers at school

Kind-hearted teens gave a bullied classmate a new wardrobe after he was mocked for wearing the same outfit every day at school.

Michael Todd had been wearing the same clothes and trainers since the start of the new school year because his mum couldn’t afford new ones.

He was cruelly mocked by pupils at his high school, but classmates who saw him being bullied decided to step in and do something that has brought web users to tears.

Heartwarming video shows Kristopher Graham and Antwann Garrett giving new clothes and trainers to a visibly stunned Michael in one of the school’s corridors.

corridor (noun)

Macmillan Dictionary によると ” a long passage inside a building with doors on each side という風に記載されています。

例文:

a hotel/hospital corridor

I went along the corridor to her office.

Her office is at the end of the corridor.

The footage has gone viral and it has sparked a campaign to provide new clothes and financial support to the teen who says he has been bullied his “entire life”.

Michael, who attends Martin Luther King Jnr College Preparatory School in the US city of Memphis, Tennessee, told TV news station KXAN: “I really don’t have clothes at home.

“I’ve been bullied my entire life.”

Kristopher said he and Antwann went through their closets and found items they could give to their classmate.

He added: : “When I saw people laugh and bully him, I felt like I needed to do something.”

The video – captioned “We did it out of love NOT for clout” – shows Kristopher and Antwann giving Michael a bag of clothing and new trainers as other students look on.

Michael was caught off guard by the kind act.

He described it as “the best day of my entire life”.

Kristopher said he cried when Michael told him they were the only people to give him a gift.

clout (noun)

Urban Dictionary によると ” Clout is being famous and having influence という風に記載されています。

例文:

dealers with their eyes glued to computer screens

look on (phrasal verb)

MacmillanA large crowd looked on as the band played. See also Dictionary によると ” to watch an activity or event without taking part in it という風に記載されていますね。

例文:

catch sb off guard (phrasal verb)

Cambridge Dictionary によると ” to surprise someone by doing something that they are not expecting or ready for という風に記載されていますね。

After the video went viral and was shown many viewers said they wanted to donate clothes or money to help Michael.

The school is now accepting donations on his behalf.

It wrote on its website: “Thank you to everyone who reached out to donate or send kind words to these students after this video aired.”

Viewers called for an end to bullying and encouraged people to be kind to each other.

One wrote on Facebook: “This is wonderful!!! My heart is filled knowing all three of these young men have made an impact in each others lives. I truly hope and pray they all remain good friends long after this!!!”

Another wrote: “Great work guys. Just love the way you both helped the boy with the new clothes and shoes. Keep doing it and helping those who need the most because world needs pure souls like you. Lots of love to all 3 of you.”

And one added: “I love this you guys omg you made me cry.”

最後に、内容が理解でき、新しい単語も知ることができたら、必ずCambridge Dictionaryか、Macmillan Dictionaryで例文を読むようにしてください。そして一番シンプルで、自分が日常使いしときやすそうなもをノートやスマホに書き溜めておいてください。そしてこれを移動中の時などに声に出して覚えることが本当に大事です!(電車では難しいので、僕はよく歩きますw)

これをしないと全然伸びていきません!
