volunteer experience in the hospital in my neighbour-
hood with you.I work during the summer holiday.Ev-
ery day I got there at seven thirty a.m.and worked for
four hours.I did different jobs.First.I did some
cleaning along the hallway.Then I organized people to
wait in line.When a doctor called one of them,I led
him or her to the doctor's office.They all liked me
because they thought I always worked with a smile.
Everyone thought I was kind and work carefully.Al-
though the job was tiring,I still enjoyed it.

Hello,everyone!
I'm happy to share my speech with all of you.
Today my topic is "Work as a Volunteer".Voluntee-
ring is really meaningful.It not only gives me a chance
to do something helpful but also makes me understand
the importance of love and responsibility.
Last summer,I volunteered at a local animal
shelter.I helped feed the cats and dogs every day.Al-
so,I cleaned their living areas.I loved painting,so I
made some lovely pictures of the animals and put
them up around the shelter to attract more people to
notice these poor animals.
From this experience,I've realized that small ac-
tions can make a big difference to the world.I will do
more to help others in the future.
Thank you!

Volunteers are people who help others without asking for
money.They share their time and skills to make the world bet-
ter.Every day,millions of volunteers work to solve problems
around the world.
Volunteers do many kinds of work.Some help at animal
shelters by feeding pets or cleaning cages.Others teach chil-
dren to read in libraries.During natural disasters like floods or
earthquakes,volunteers hand out food and water to families in
need.Many teenagers volunteer too-they might plant trees in
parks or visit elderly people in nursing homes.
Why do people choose to volunteer?Most say they want
to help those who are less lucky.Maria,a high school student
from Mexico,spends Saturdays teaching English to younger
kids."Seeing them smile when they learn new words makes
me happy,"she says.Volunteering also helps people learn
new skills.For example,organizing a charity event can teach
teamwork and planning.
One famous example is the "Clean Beach Project"in In-
donesia.Local volunteers collect plastic waste from beaches
every month.Last year,over 2,000 volunteers joined in this
activity.Because of their hard work,sea turtles are now retur-
ning to lay eggs on cleaner shores.
Becoming a volunteer is easy.Start by asking:What prob-
lems do I care about?Who needs help in my neighbourhood?
Many schools and websites list volunteer chances.Even small
actions play a big role.
Volunteering connects people and shows kindness.As the
saying goes,"Many small hands can do big things."When we
work together,we create a better future for everyone.

was hard for me then because Dad lost his job and Mum was
sick in bed.I was worried.36 I felt sad every day.
One day when I was working,I saw an old man come in
with a little girl in a wheelchair.As I watched this girl careful-

man pushed the wheelchair up to me,I was busy with my
work.I turned my head to the girl and gave her a wink().
When I took the money from her grandfather,I looked back at
the girl.38 I had never seen that kind of smile before.
Suddenly,her handicap(生理缺陷)disappeared and all I saw
was this beautiful girl.39 She made me realize the mean-
