志愿服务：

世界因你而不同

每年,越来越多的学生成为志愿者。

成为一名志愿者是伟大的。

对于学生来说,做志愿者活动有许多优势。

首先,志愿活动帮助别人。

当学生花费时间在一个老年人之家做一些工作,清理公园或者教小孩子,志愿活动让世界更加美好。

其次,做一名志愿者让学生自我感觉美好。

当学生志愿者知道他或她的努力让其他人的生活更美好,志愿者会感到很自豪。

最后,学生们认为志愿活动很有趣。

一群学生可能会在早春时间清理河床,和朋友们一起,享受美好的天气,随后在洁净的地方举行一次野餐是有趣的。

还有学生在幼儿游戏班里为小孩子阅读。

和孩子们起度过一段欢笑的时光是有趣的。

无论是年龄大小还是有何才艺,每个学生都可以成为志愿者。

学生志愿者的工作是一股让世界更加美好的强大的力量。
