Marta: What kind of volunteer job do you have?
Haru: I work at a nature museum. I teach children’s groups about animals, birds and plants. Last month, I helped some students write a report about the birds they didn’t know.
Marta: That’s interesting. Where did you hear about this job?
Haru: I found it through United We Serve. It’s a great website for us to volunteer in our own communities. You can find it on www. serve. gov.
Marta: Is it just for young people?
Haru: No, it isn’t. There are chances for everyone!
Marta: I have an idea for a volunteer project. What should I do?
Haru: Before you start, you should put your idea on the site and ask for volunteers. Many people are volunteering these days. And more people are going to volunteer in the future. In America, there is a law in which student volunteers can get money for their education. Besides, the number of older people rockets. That means we are going to have more older volunteers, too.
Marta: Fine. What do you want to say to other young men?
Haru: ____▲____
Marta: A good call! Hope more young people can join you! Thank you for your time, Haru.
Haru: My pleasure.

People usually give money to children and young people, to make new medicines, and to schools, animals and hospitals. Most people still give money in cash (现金).
Charity shops pay managers to work in the shops, but other people, called volunteers, work there and are not paid. People can give their old clothes, toys, books and other things that they don’t use any more to charity shops. The volunteers then wash the things to make sure they are clean before selling them. The money that they get from selling things always goes to a charity. Many people believe that you can find some special things cheaply in charity shops; you just have to know where to look!
Another way to give money to charity is by running or riding a bike in a charity race. You can ask your friends and family to give money to help you and the charity. Sometimes they give you money for every kilometer that you finish.

【推荐3】Every Thursday morning, the 89-year-old grandma Wu Pinxian, plays beautiful piano music for people to relieve (缓解) their stress at the outpatient department (门诊大厅) of Panyu Central Hospital in Guangzhou, CCTV News reported.
Wu has been a volunteer piano performer since the end of 2023. The hospital holds a piano performance every Thursday to create a relaxing environment and reduce patients’ worries.
Wu’s music is effective: many patients and their relatives sing along with her piano and some have even become her fans. Until now, Wu has been performing there every Thursday for one and a half hours with just a short break for almost four months.
Though Wu comforts others through her music, she herself is suffering from the pain of losing her husband, who passed away in December. _________ Working as a volunteer in the hospital not only brings back the memories of youth, but also brings warmth to others and increase the value of life.
Wu spends three to four hours practicing the piano every day. After picking up the piano as a hobby, she wants to realize her dream even if she is already 89.
“I believe playing the piano allows the patients to listen to music, which provides them pleasure. Although I had not played the piano for a long time, it is good to play for others. I will do my best,” Wu wrote down in her diary.
