The Benefits of Volunteering

Every day, we can see the figures of thevolunteers. Actually, they have formed a kind of scenery of the city. Somepeople hold that volunteering is merely a waste of time, because the volunteershave no gains with pains. However, I believe that doing voluntary is quiterewarding.

每天，我们都能看到许多的志愿者，事实上，他们已经成为城市的一道风景线了。有些人认为做志愿者就是单纯地浪费时间，因为做志愿者是只有付出没有回报的。然而，我相信做志愿者还是有一定回报的。

In the first place, we can put intopractice what we have learnt before, for instance, when we were asked by aforeigner about the way to some place, we could practice our oral foreignlanguage, it’s definitely a good opportunity to express ourselves in a foreignlanguage correctly and clearly.

首先，我们可以把以前学过的东西付诸实践。例如，如果外国人向我们问路，我们就能练习口语，这肯定是一个用外语清楚地自我表达的好机会。

In the second place, we could make a lot ofnew friends while we are volunteering As a proverb says, “At home one relies onone’s parents and outside on one’s friends”, so it is never a bad thing to havelots of friends.

第二，做志愿者的时候可以交到很多新朋友。正如谚语所说的，在家靠父母,在外靠朋友。所以，拥有很多朋友永远都不会是件坏事.

Finally, helping others is a good way tomake you feel happy and when you help others solve a problem successful, youwill feel fulfillment. In this sense, we reap a bountiful spiritual harvest bydoing voluntary work.

最后，帮助别人是获得快乐的好方法，当你帮别人成功的解决问题的时候，你会有成就感。从这种角度来看,做志愿者可以丰富我们的精神。.

On the whole, we can benefit a lot byengaging ourselves in the voluntary work. Therefore, I suggest those that haveabundant spare time registering as volunteers for the welfare for the public.

总之，从事志愿工作可以让我们从中获得很多好处。因此，我建议那些业余时间充足的人可以去做志愿者，为社会谋利。
