Last year, I started volunteering at the Sunshine Nursing Home. It has changed my life in many ways. At first, I was nervous. I didn’t know what to say to the old people. I thought they might be bored or unfriendly. But I was wrong. They were very kind and full of stories. Every Sunday, I go there to help with different things. Sometimes I read newspapers to them. They can’t see very clearly, so they really enjoy listening to the news. Sometimes I help them write letters to their families. Many of them miss their children and grandchildren. I’ve become good friends with Mrs. Zhang. She is 82 years old. She used to be a teacher. She tells me interesting stories about her young days. I also teach her how to use video calls so she can see her grandchildren. Last week, she successfully made a video call to her daughter in Shanghai. Her face lit up with joy. Volunteering has taught me to be patient and grateful. I used to complain about small things, but now I realise how lucky I am. I also feel happy because I can bring smiles to others. I encourage all young people to try volunteering. You don’t need special skills — just a kind heart. 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。 21. Where does Li Wei volunteer? A. At a school. B. At a community centre. C.

You can learn to be a doctor.| B. This feeling of joy is real. C. If not, now is a good time to try. D. For example, you can help at a food bank. E.

I’m 15 years old. Last summer, I joined a volunteer programme in a mountain village. It changed my life. I stayed in the village for two weeks. Every day, I taught English to the children there. The school was very small and old. There were not enough desks or chairs. But the children were so eager to learn. They walked for hours to get to school every day. At first, I found it hard to teach. The children’s English level was very low. But I didn’t give up. I used pictures and games to make learning fun. Slowly, they started to make progress. When I heard them say “Good morning, Teacher” in English, my eyes filled with tears. I also learned a lot from the children. They taught me how to plant rice and climb mountains. They shared their simple food with me. They were poor, but they were happy. After returning home, I decided to set up a book donation activity. I wanted to get more books for those children. I put up posters at school. I talked to my classmates. In two weeks, we collected 500 books and sent them to the village school. This experience taught me that helping others is not just about giving. It is also about learning, growing, and connecting with others. Wang Fang’s Volunteer Experience Where In a 61. _ village.
