[2024 江苏苏州期末]Volunteering allows us to connect with our community and make it a better place. In Indonesia (印度尼西亚), I did a lot of volunteer work to help children, the elderly and the environment.
Last year, I volunteered at a recycling (回收) centre in Indonesia with my friends. As soon as we arrived, we saw huge piles of plastic (塑料) bottles on the ground. I wondered, "What are we going to do with those?"
A group of people from the recycling centre welcomed us. One person said that bottles and caps (瓶盖) were made of different materials and had different uses. He said, "Today, you are going to remove (除去) the plastic covers and caps from all of these plastic bottles." I put on my mask and gloves, sat down on a stool (凳子) and started grabbing plastic bottles and removing their plastic covers with a cutting tool.
There were straws (吸管) and trash (垃圾) inside the bottles, so I had to remove these items. Some of my friends were not comfortable doing this work and neither was I, but it was important work and was part of a larger effort to improve the environment. After we finished removing the covers and caps from the plastic bottles, we crushed (压碎) all the plastic bottles and put them all in a larger box.
After a long day, we finally finished our work. Though it was a simple job, it would have a lasting influence (影响) on our lives and our environment. That's what volunteering is about. How meaningful it is!
