You may see people in need on the news after a typhoon. Perhaps you've walked past homeless people on the streets. Or maybe you've come across lost dogs and wished you could give them a home.
The answer is to be volunteers! Volunteering means spending some of your free time and energy to help others. December 5'is International Volunteer Day. It calls for people around the world to volunteer to help those in need.
People volunteer to help others in many ways. Volunteers visit homes of old people and sick children. They read books to them and chat with them. In Shenzhen, school students volunteer to teach children with brain diseases. Their classes include painting and learning numbers.
For example, many children in China volunteer to become narrators(讲解员) in museums. They need to receive history and communication lessons first, so they can tell the stories behind works of art to visitors.
A person can also volunteer to protect the environment.
Although volunteering lakes up our time, it shows our care for others. When people get your help, you will find your life more meaningful.
