Question

Today, more and more people try to become a volunteer. The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” It is difficult to help others all the time, but if you insist in(坚持) that, you will be very happy. If you have much free time, you should take an active part in activities, such as taking care of sick people, working in homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks.

Jenny, a good friend of mine, came back from India with a new idea of being a volunteer. Helping others is also a kind of happiness. What’s more, when we help others, it can be a way of helping ourselves. When we learn how to give others, we can further our morals(道德规范). She worked in a home for sick people. She helped wash clothes and passed out lunch. She also fed the weak people and tried to cheer them up. She said that if all of us can give a helping hand as a volunteer, our world will be full of love and that will make our world nicer and nicer.
