I have always wanted to help international students feel at home in our city. I have been a volunteer at the Longzi Lake Park for six months. I guide visitors and help keep the park clean.

I believe I can help international students learn about our local culture and make new friends. I hope I can join your team and make a difference in our community. I am looking forward to your reply. Best wishes, [Your Name] 名师指导 · 时态辨析： 注意区分一般过去时（I visited the old people last week）和现在完成时（I have visited the old people for a year）。本单元重点是"持续"的状态，多用现在完成时。 · for vs. since： for后面接时间段（for two hours, for a week）；since后面接时间点或从句（since 2024, since I was a child）。 · 动词搭配： 注意区分take care of(照顾)和look after(照顾)，两者可以互换；make a difference(有所作为)是本单元的核心短语，不要写错。 · 情感升华： 在结尾处，不要只说"I like it"，试着用"I feel proud to help others"或"It is meaningful to volunteer"来提升文章档次。 小试身手 你的朋友Lily想成立一个"爱护流浪动物"的志愿者小组，请你给她写一封邮件，表达你想加入的意愿，并分享你过去照顾动物的经历。 参考范文 Dear Lily, I am writing to express my interest in your volunteer group.
