Ⅱ. 阅读理解
Volunteering is becoming more and more popular among people, especially the young. It is a great way to contribute to society while also developing oneself.
Last summer, I joined a volunteer programme at an old people's home. On the first day, when we arrived, the elderly people welcomed us warmly. We were divided into groups to do different tasks. Some of us cleaned the rooms and swept the floors. Others chatted with the old people, listening to their stories about the past. These stories were full of wisdom and life experiences. They made me understand the value of respecting the elderly and the importance of history.
One of the most meaningful activities was organizing a performance for them. We prepared some simple songs and dances. The old people enjoyed every minute of it. Their bright smiles and applause made all our hard work worthwhile. It was a wonderful feeling to bring joy to others.
However, volunteering is not always easy. Sometimes, we faced difficulties. For example, communicating with some elderly people who had hearing problems was a challenge. But we didn't give up. We used gestures and wrote down words on paper to communicate with them. Through these experiences, I learnt patience and how to solve problems in different situations.
Volunteering has changed me a lot. It has made me more responsible and empathetic. I realize that everyone can make a difference to the world, no matter how small the act may be. It is not only about giving but also about receiving. By helping others, we gain valuable skills and a sense of fulfillment.
