1. (2021九上·临海开学考) 阅读理解

Indonesia is my mother's homeland and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering would be a good and fun way to do so.

I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children. Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting, but I was rather nervous. As time passed by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities (责任).

Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believe we were helping them build up their confidence.

For the children who are more in need, The Education Program (TEP) will collect donations to help them As a volunteersponsors.

This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children.

Seeing the children's happy faces, I had a great sense of pleasure.
