3 . Have you ever done or thought about volunteering before? Volunteering means spending time and effort helping somebody or something. In my case, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter (收容所) to help feed and walk dogs.
Back in 2021, some friends and I went to an animal shelter outside of Beijing. There, I was able to give food to the animals. There were not only dogs at the shelter, such as foxes and chickens. Our main goal was to help the dogs by giving them walks. Many of the dogs were kept in big cages (笼子) along with other dogs and ate from a big bowl together. I felt a bit sad for the dogs since many of them looked old and needed a bath.
However, I made sure to give one of the dogs a good walk. I remember it was a big black dog with curly hair. The dog was very gentle, but it did not want to walk very far. It was also a bit shy and just wanted to look at the other dogs. Still, when I took out a tennis ball to play fetch (捡球), it really enjoyed it. I liked watching the dog run through a group of ducks trying to get the ball back.
Volunteering for the dog shelter is helpful for both the workers and the dogs. I really enjoyed my time there. I highly recommend it!

Li joined a teaching activity in Xichang county, Sichuan, last summer. “I read the news that teachers were not enough in the village, so I wanted to give some classes to the kids there,” said Li. His parents helped him get in touch with the school.
“My third-grade students have subjects like Chinese and English every day, so I wanted to teach them chess,” Li said.
Li carefully gave 10 chess lessons with rules and real games. “Chess can help with kids’ logical thinking. They love the chess class very much,” said Li. “They now know that there are many ways of learning, not just learning from books. I feel so proud!”
