the second volunteer

On the 18th of march, our class went to the beijing primary school to teach grade 5 student

english. We teached the grade 5 student how to play cards and read any cards.

After two chinese class , we went there.There were many

students in front of the school gate because it is time for after-

class.We went to school in a line.When we arrived, they are all sat

in the class and waited us to teach. They all looked so lovely.I liked

them very much. It leted me think of my childhood during 7-12 years. At that time, I am as

same as them.I do not have many pressure, but I am interested in the knowledge.Then

Ms.Bartel asked us to teach two students.I taught two lovely girls ,from them,i felt so suprised

because their english is very well.I took out my cards then gave to them .I taught them how to

say each card.Fristly, I said then they followed me to say. I just said twice. they are all learned

well. Then we played the game called "Bingo".It seems they didn't like this . So we played the

common playing style.At the beginning, i thought they did not play well. But when I played with

them,I thought they are all play the cards well.I had a little admire for them.

After the game, I asked Willa and Cindy to make up one group. We can have a match between

the grade 5 student to see which person taught them well.All the students are all very cute and

clever, they played better than us.After played the game, we also played many another games

that they like.Nova often went into our grops to play trick on us, the grade 5 students also

played tricks on him.The processes are all excited.

Time flies very quickly, we all needed to go away.But we are all do not want to go . when we

went out the classroom, they are all waved the hands to said "goodbye". I think this is a good

chance for me to practise. It can let us know the mre things and get closed with the social.I love

this volunteer job. I think iI can take part in more volunteer like this,I also can create this

activity.It is meaningful for us to know the social clearly and help people they have the problrms.

Let us all take part in this activity to make our life more beautiful.

volunteer/work experience

The New Year is coming, every people are very happy. But also many people will have festival on their own. Like the homes for elderly. So I work as a volunteer to go into the homes for the elderly. I would like to give them warm and the festive wishes. Let them feel the family’s warm.

When I first go into this region, I have a very comfortable feeling. At the left side of the garden, there are many elderly people in the sun, and the other is reading the newspaper. I go between them and give them some gifts that my buy. Then I sit down and chat with them about their life. Some people talk their past life.

They say when they were small; they did not have rich life. If their parents have many children’s, they could only afford a child to school. So the other children would stay at home help their many do the housework. I watched their pair of dark hand, have a kind of inexpressible sadness. Then I thought of myself, feel the today life is very warm. But sometimes we don not treasure. Instead, we often complain the bad of life. We also talk about the spring festival. When their children, if they have a sweet, then they would feel very happy. But today’s children will wear the new clothes, have many read packets and the delicious food. We talk many topics.

Then I stand up, go to another places. I go to their bedroom. Their rooms are not very clean, I help them sweep the floor, wash the towels and make the bed. Some old people are also in the bed, they want to go down, and then I help them go down until they sit on the chair. They feel very happy. Then I go to the Old Age Activity Center. Many old people in their. They play the chess, cards and sing opera. I go to see them playing cards. They see me and let me take part in them. At the beginning, I can’t play it then they teach me carefully, so I learn it quickly. When I leave, they let me go there tomorrow. I am very happy to the promised. So I with old people in the homes for the elderly enjoyed a three-day together. I also make the friends with them.

I think they need our help. So I can often go into them and help them to let them know our teenagers are best. We do not live up to the expectations of the motherland since ancient times in china; we have a tradition of respect for the elderly. So as the 21st century teenagers. We have an obligation, has the responsibility to serve them. This is a very honorable thing. We should carry forward the Chinese traditional millennium, so that this spirit continues to disseminate. We should carry forward the Chinese traditional millennium, so that this spirit continues to disseminate. From this activity, I also learned that we should honor their parents, they are behind in our pay, but need a little return.
