1、 People do volunteer work for many reasons. Let’s look at several top reasons. After each reason, there is an example. Check (打上钩) the box if the example matches (与…相一致) what you want to get from the volunteer experience:
You want to help in a place which is important to you. For example, you might choose to clean up the city parks because you want them to be better places.
You want to meet others. When I moved to the town I now live in, I volunteered at my son’s school because I wanted to meet other people with their children.
You want to learn something new. 我的儿子过去很喜欢戏剧,但是他害怕上台。After watching so many plays on stage (在舞台上)by others, he now volunteers for one theater.他想得到一些训练并且慢慢地学到舞台经验。
Which did you check? Your reason or reasons for becoming a volunteer will help guide you along your way. Maybe you didn’t check any. That is fine. There are other reasons why you want to become a volunteer. Although everyone has his or her own reason, becoming a volunteer will open a new door for us and may change our life, and you will feel like you really make a difference!
