◆Step 1 Share &. Create
Work in groups of 4 - 5. Each student briefly introduces their volunteer experiences in English and shows relevant(相关的) records.
Reference words/phrases: homeless, illness, treatment, wheelchair, lucky, goodwill, warmth, pocket money.

（示例）Last month, I joined a volunteer group to help homeless people in our city. I used my pocket money to buy some bread and water for them. I also spent time talking with a girl who had a serious illness and needed expensive treatment. I told her some funny stories to cheer her up, and I felt glad that I could bring warmth and goodwill to her. I think it's a lucky and meaningful experience for me.

这是一项英语实践表达任务，要求以4-5人小组为单位，用英语简要介绍个人的志愿者经历，可借助所给参考词汇（homeless, illness, treatment等），结合自身经历或合理创设的场景组织语言，保证表达通顺、符合英语日常表达逻辑。

◆Step 2 Group Discussion
Question: What can we learn from helping others?

1. We can learn to take responsibility for others and develop a strong sense of responsibility.
2. We can build closer and deeper friendships with people around us through helping others.
3. We can gain the true happiness that comes from bringing warmth and support to others.
4. We can improve our problem-solving skills when we help others work out their troubles.
5. We can develop empathy and learn to understand and care about others' feelings better.

本题要求阐述从帮助他人中获得的成长与收获，可结合八年级下册涉及的人际交往、情感培养等知识点，从个人责任感、社交关系、情感体验、解决问题能力、同理心等角度进行作答。

◆Step 3 Debate &. Reflect
Debate topic(辩论主题): Is it better to volunteer alone or in a group?
Pro's opinion (支持): Volunteering alone allows more freedom and enables deeper personal connections with people in need.
Con's opinion(反对): Volunteering in a group is more efficient and creates a stronger sense of teamwork.

正方补充论点：
1. Volunteering alone lets you make your own plans freely, so you can focus on the things you really care about during the work.
2. You can build closer and more personal relationships with the people you help, as you have more time to interact with them one by one.
反方补充论点：
1. In a group, we can take on different parts of the volunteer work, which makes the whole process much more efficient than working alone.
2. Group volunteering gives us chances to learn from each other and develop our teamwork abilities, which are useful in our daily life.
3. When we work together with teammates, we can encourage each other when we meet difficulties, making the volunteer experience more meaningful.

本题为英语辩论拓展题，需围绕“独自志愿服务还是组队志愿服务更好”的主题，基于已给出的正反方核心观点，运用八年级下册所学英语词汇与句式拓展合理论点，表达需通顺、符合逻辑。
