Teamwork makes the dream work. Good volunteers know how to get along with others. They don’t care about their personal situations. They try to discuss and solve problems with their companies. When they have different ideas, they may actively ask others for advice.
An excellent volunteer should have patience. To be a good volunteer, patience is the most important. Patience is especially important for volunteers who will be working for children, older adults or community members with special needs.
Openminded and creative volunteers will bring fun to the whole volunteer group. They will try out some new ways to help the people in need. Sometimes they can think of ideas that are different from the common ones. Good volunteers lie to learn new skills and face new challenges. They may learn in different ways. When they meet difficulties, they never give up trying. They are sure to face them correctly and find ways to solve them as quickly as possible.

School safety is a serious subject. Every student should learn to keep safe, but fights at school sometimes happen. How can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.
Be calm（冷静）, Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve（解决） problems. A fight can’t help, either. It may bring you more problems and trouble. In the school, everyone will be punished（惩罚）, if he gets into a fight. There is no winner in a fight.
Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack（袭击）, turn to the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If he doesn’t stop, shout for help by calling out the name of a teacher.
Say no. If your friend may ask you to join in a fight. You must not do that. Because helping him fight is not really helpful to him. Also, he and you may get hurt and be punished. If you really want to help him, try to ask him to give it up. Then you should try to know about why he wants a fight. You can tell the teachers or parents to ask for help. Or you help him find a right way to solve the problem.
