Volunteer Work

My volunteer work of this term is to teach the children from some poor school.They do not have some extra help with their study as the other children have.So the club organized us to help them.

Part 1 : How we did it?

I still remember the first day I started the volunteer work .The place of activity is not easy to find. I went to the wrong place and after I called Susan for about 4 times.I found it.The children there are all about 8 to 14.The similar ages as my two cousins.But there are big differences between them. The boy which tought by Susan,Sandy and me is the yougest of all these children. He is small shy to ask and answer questions.But soon ,we were Familiar with each other.We helped him to understand the new words the new articles and Idioms.Review and preview the subject he ask us to.

First of all,We helped him to went through the old text.We red the text for him ,then he red again,we correct his pronunciations.Then let he do some dictation of the words he need to know and write clearly.After review the text.We asked him some questions about the article and the words.He always answered them correctly.Then we went through some idoms in his book untill he can recitation it.After all of these review.We helped him to preview the texts he would learn next week.Then told him to ask some questions about his homework or the things we tought today.Always he did not has so many questions and he will messy that day’s notes and clean up the desk.He made me think a lot(see in part two).

Part 2 : The feelings of the volunteer work.

The children there have a spirit that the common students who have the good conditions in studying and living area do not have.They are so clever, Sensible and hard-working.For example,they have the better marks because they put more efforts;they save more money because they do not waste something like stationary…… I do not know how to ues words to discribe these Well-behaved children.But in my mind,they always want to be well.In china,there are so many poor students.They all have the thoughts that only the way to break the poor away is have high qualifications.So they study hard,and soon,they have the good qualities ,manners and study habits.I can say that I do not have these good habits as them.I can even say I admirate them.If I have the ability to help them a little,I will be proud too.

I am glad to do this kind of volunteer work and it made

me think a lot.They have gave me a lot of experience

and happy.I hope I can see these lovely children again.
