As the saying goes, “The rose in your hand, the sweet smell in mine.” I hope to join the volunteer team and I will be kind and patient. Helping in need is something that I always want to do. I am good at communicating with others and work well with different classmates. Besides, I have enough free time after school to take part in volunteer activities. Most of all, I have been a volunteer at my neighbourhood sports club for one year, so I have experience finishing work successfully. I will do my best to help them if I get the chance. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, xx 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
