3 . During the 2021 World Wheelchair Curling Championship (冰壶锦标赛) in Beijing, people saw many student volunteers. And Wang Yijia was one of them.

“Our work is tiring but enjoyable,” said Wang, the leader of a volunteer team. He is a college student in Beijing and he has spent 450 hours doing volunteer work.

Wang and his teammates needed to clean the ice and the wheelchairs of the players carefully all the time. They also needed to clean the curling stones (冰壶) before giving them to the players. There were 16 stones for an eight-game match, and that meant volunteers needed to clean the stones over 100 times. A curling stone weighed nearly 20 kg, so it was ▲ for volunteers to do the cleaning work for hours.

Besides, the volunteers needed to know the rules of the match and be able to talk with foreign players and referees (裁判员) in English. “Although we are tired every day, we learn a lot and can always feel the warmth from others,” Wang said.

“Some players gave us candies after the match,” Wang told others. “Others said thanks to us and told us to take a break.”

“This is a great experience for me as a college student,” Wang added.

10 . Sometimes children need some help to improve themselves. In some schools in England, some volunteers work with children who have difficulty in reading. The volunteers spend time with them, away from their class, to help them learn to love books and enjoy school. These children can then become more confident about school and learning.

Holly is a 7-year-old student. Here is a report from Mrs. Trent who has been visiting her at school.

When I first started working with Holly, she was very shy and didn’t really enjoy reading. Her class teacher told me she was very quiet in class. During our lessons we spent lots of time reading books together. We also played word games to help with her spelling and writing. As time went on, Holly began to relax and became more confident. She realized that reading and writing could be lots of fun. Holly even wrote a book by herself about Beauty and the Beast. She also drew some lovely pictures to explain it. Her class teacher is pleased with how well Holly is doing. Holly tells her classmates about what she has done in each lesson with me. I think they all want to join in as well! I’m glad that Holly is also spending more time at home reading with her parents. They all enjoy reading books together! She now even reads to her dog!
