(2024-2025·黔东南州台江县第一中学6月联考) Have you ever noticed you feel happier after helping someone else? Volunteering isn't just great for the people you help, but it can bring you happiness too.
Volunteering means you give your time,energy or skills to help others but don't expect others to give you anything back. There are thousands of volunteers helping others all over the world, and there are lots of ways you can join them, including raising money for charity,helping in your local community, or even carrying a neighbour's shopping goods home.
According to Susan Albers,a psychologist(心理学家), volunteering can reduce stress and makes you feel better about your life. This is because being kind and doing things for other people activates(激活) the reward part of the brain and produces something that makes you feel good. Albers says that volunteering is also good for you to feel part of a community, make friends, and learn skills.
There are lots of ways you can volunteer.Albers suggests finding something meaningful to you. If you love sports, then ask if your club needs help like coaching younger players. If you care about the environment, organize a litter pick or beach clean. You could also ask at your local library, community centre or school for volunteering chances. Before you start,remember to have a talk with your parents to get their support(支持). What's more, Albers says,“Volunteering is an activity that everyone can do. You don't need to have lots of skills or spend much time.”
