Each nation has many people who voluntarily take care of others. For example, many high school
and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or
homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places. Sometimes the students just visit them,
play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers work in the homes of sick or old people. They clean up their houses, do their
shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is a voluntary organization called
Big Brothers. College students take these boys to baseball games and help them to get to know things that
boys usually learn from their fathers.
Some high school students take part in helping disadvantaged or handicapped children. They give
care and comfort to them and help them to overcome their difficulties. Young college and university
students participate in helping the people who have suffered badly in wars or natural disasters. During
summer vacations, they volunteer to work in remote or mountainous areas to provide education for children.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games. Some of these clubs
organise short trips to the mountains, beaches or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of

Write a short paragraph (120 -150 words) about doing volunteer work.
You can use the following questions as cues:
* Why do people do volunteer work?
* Which volunteer activities do you like?
* What situations need volunteer workers?
* What benefits can you get from volunteer work?
I think people engage in volunteer work because they want to contribute to helping their community and doing good
for society. I personally enjoy participating in volunteer activities such as environmental cleanups, caring for orphaned
children, and assisting the elderly. Situations where volunteer workers are needed often arise during natural disasters,
times of war, or when specific individuals require help and care. Engaging in volunteer work not only benefits those
around us but also brings numerous rewards for ourselves. It provides an opportunity for learning, interacting with
different people, and creates a sense of happiness and meaning in life.
