Read the sample writing for reference. Good morning everyone! I am Li Hua, chairman of the volunteer club. Not only is volunteer work beneficial to others but it also is meaningful to myself. I’ve had two experiences of being a volunteer—being a dustman and being a primary school teacher in the mountainous area. The latter left a deeper impression on me. Poor as the teaching conditions were, children didn’t resign themselves to difficulties and actively consulted with me about problems relevant to their learning. Besides, villagers were polite as well as friendly to us. It is making others happy that gives me a sense of achievement. As is mentioned above, why not join us? Thanks for your attention.
