Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can make a person’s life better.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect chance to encourage others to become a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they don’t have enough time to do volunteer work.
The following tips can help if you have some of those worries;
Start out slowly. Don’t add too much pressure (压力). Even a few hours a mouth can make a big difference in someone’s life.
Choose an organization (组织) with the same interest and common values.
Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience. Remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right one.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives.

【推荐2】Today is Saturday, May 8. The weather is warm and sunny. There are ten young volunteers (志愿者) at the Old People’s Center in the neighborhood. They’re teaching old people to use smartphones. To help more people, they will come here again next Saturday.
Smartphones are important in our lives, but lots of old people can’t use them well. “I always forget how to pay for my things. I have no one to ask when my daughter is not with me,” says Grandma Li.
Some old people don’t know how to write a message or call a car on the phone. Because of COVID-19, old people have more problems. When they go to parks or supermarkets, they have to show their health codes (健康码).The workers need to tell some old people what to do. And they get impatient sometimes when old people can’t learn it quickly. This makes old people feel bad.
“I think smartphones can bring old people a happy life. It is a good thing to help old people around us,”says Zhang Wei, one of the volunteers.

【推荐3】Near the end of 2015, something started in Mashhad, Iran. A blue wall appeared with a message in Farsi: “If you don’t need it, leave it. If you need it, take it.” The message referred to the clothes hanging on the wall that were left for the homeless. Everything on the “Wall of Kindness” is free to those who need it, giving the city’s homeless and poor people a chance to dress themselves in warm clothes in the recent cold.
The clothes are left behind by regular citizens (市民) who want to give directly to the homeless. Winters in Iran can be very cold, and many homeless people sleep outside. The clothing donations help them stay warm. There are a growing number of homeless people in Iran due to the poor economy (经济).
This idea comes from a South African named Max Pazak in 2014. It made it easier for people to donate and receive. Most people loved the idea and hoped it would spread across Iran. It has already happened in many other cities, and more cities are starting their own kindness walls.
On January 15th, 2016, a wall of kindness was seen in Pakistan’s Karachi and another one in China’s Liuzhou, a city in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region (自治区) on January 19th, 2016. In April 2016, students of the Mary-mount International School in Rome reproduced the idea by naming a wall with the similar name. Recently, the similar wall of kindness was seen in two Indian cities New Delhi and Varanasi.
Now, the idea is going a long way in helping those in need around the world.

I'm learning the weather now. My favorite season is autumn (秋季). Do you know why? Let me tell you.
I love autumn because it is lovely and beautiful. In autumn, the weather becomes cool and people feel better. The wind is like a little girl playing beautiful music on the piano. When autumn comes, the leaves (树叶) begin to turn yellow andfall.
Autumn is the time of harvest (丰收). Farmers are busy with the harvest. They start to work hard for the winter and the New Year. Last autumn, I went to pick strawberries with my parents. At first, I did not know how to pick. I learned how to pick strawberries with a woman's help. After that, I learn that success (成功) comes from hard work.
And Mid-Autumn Festival comes in autumn. It is a time for family members and loved ones to get together.
I love the beautiful autumn and the time I spend with my family in autumn. I like autumn the best! How about you? What's your favorite season?

【推荐2】A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

【推荐3】Last Saturday, I made a trip to Yangshuo—an old town in the southeast of Guilin.
After getting to Yangshuo by bus, I first went to the famous place—Butterfly Spring (蝴蝶泉). Butterfly Spring is the best travelling place in Moon Hill Scenic Area. It is named after a butterfly-like stalactite (钟乳石) in the beautiful park. At the entrance of the park is a large butterfly model. It looks very beautiful. He Jingzhi, a famous poet in China, visited here and was very surprised to see such a large beautiful butterfly model so he wrote “the No.1 Butterfly in the world” to praise it.
At lunchtime, I went to a small restaurant. It had friendly and quick service. I ordered two dishes. They were really delicious. But they were a little expensive.
Then I went to the famous street—the West Street. The West Street is an old street in the center of Yangshuo County with a history of more than 1,400 years. There is a saying about the West Street-One half is the village while the other half is stores.
It was a wonderful day. Just at that time, I understood the saying “Guilin’s mountains and waters rank (排名) first in China and Yangshuo’s are the best (最好的) in Guilin.”
