If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

Some people say that young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all, more and more young people in the USA volunteer (当志愿者) to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

Alice Hamilton, 17

I’m going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths (徒步小径) in the mountains. It’s going to be fantastic. I will spend the whole summer living in a tent (帐篷) and breathing (呼吸) the fresh mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I will be able to do something good at the same time!

Jason Moore, 18

This summer, I’ll volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to the poor. They’ll teach me what to do, so I am going to help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson, 16

I’m going to teach children who have difficulty in reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading for Life. Every day, I’m going to help children choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.

①Liaoning Provincial Museum is a fun place for many students. They love to go there. Why? Let’s find out.

②Many schools have their classes at the museum. “About 100 schools cooperate with us. They bring their students to our museum. Reciting poems (背诵诗歌) is often difficult and boring for students. To make it easy and fun we give talks about poems and make shows (节目) to tell the stories of famous poets like Li Bai, Du Fu, and Lu You. We also teach students to write calligraphy (书法),” says Dong, a man from the museum.

③Interestingly, the museum makes plays about those poets and asks students to act in them. Students recite poems in the plays and get to experience (体验) the lives of the poets.

④The museum also cares about (关心) village students. It gives shows about the poets on a bus. The bus is like a moving museum and it travels to villages far from the museum.

⑤The museum brings history to students’ lives and makes it so fun. That’s why students have a great love for the museum. So do you want to visit it too? You will love it after visiting it.
