volunteer work

On April, I'm going to be a volunteer to meet Danmark students. It's Sunday morning. Mike ma and I went to school together, we arrived at school about 8:30. There is just a few people here. Danmark student’s also didn’t arrived. But I saw some international students waitting in front of the school gate.I didn’t know if they are danmark students. So Ms. Bartell told me ask them. I went to the school gate and said: Excuse me, are your Danmark international students? The answer is yes. So I let them followed me to go to the GCA’s building. I’m so surprised that the Denmark student’s were so “big”. It means they almost university students. All of these students are taller than me, include the female leader--- Ms. Bartell’s best friend.
At 9:00am, all of the volunteers went to school. We are having a short meeting. We separated by lots of groups. 2 or 3 GCA students and 1 Denmark student in a group. Fortunately, there are 2 Denmark students in my group. Mike ma, Justin and I leaded them saw a lot of place around NFLS. They asked me that what do you know about Denmark, I said Andersen. They said Andersen is very famous in the world. I agree, because I read Andersen’s fairy tale since I was in primary school. There are lot of story in our text book are written by Andersen. The Denmark students were friendly and like to tell jokes. When we let him to go to dormitory, I asked: Do you live in dormitory in Denmark? One of the student said yes, the other one said no, he rent a house and live with his girlfriend. “He is a lucky bastard.” Said the frist student, and all of us were laughing. When we finished looking school, we let them went out of the school and bought some stamp, they want sent post card to Denmark, so they need these stamp. But there is a little stamp left, so we went to GULOU post card office and bought enough stamp. They also want to by suit. But I really didn’t know where the suit store is. I just tell them if they went to XINJIEKOU, maybe they could find the suit store.
It time for lunch, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I have to say goodbye to them. And they were very kind and say thanks to me.

Volunteer work

I like to be a volunteer! Yes! I never think about that there is too much happiness during the volunteer work. That’s the reason why I spend time on it and really wants to do more!
Six mouths ago, I did not do any volunteer work. I always hear people saying that being a volunteer is very interesting. But now, I realize that volunteer work will bring you a lot of happiness.
My first volunteer work was in a community, my job is a teacher. That’s a rainy day, there are very strong wind on the outside. My classmate and I went to a community. I did not want to be late in the first time to be the volunteer, so I went there very early. But they did not open the door. We just can stay outside and crouched, because it’s so cold. Thanks goodness, the leader in this community came there soon, and she took some young children. Then we came into the house and stood in front of the warm air-condition. This was the best time in the world!! Soon, we warmed up and started to work.
I needed to teach a primary student, he is very cute and quite. But he is a hard-working boy because I saw that there were a lot of notes in his textbook. My job was to teach him some words, like big, small, long, and short. He learned it very fast, and he can memorize it well. So I can teach him very quickly. When I finished teaching him, we played together, I gave him my PSP, and he learned how to play games, to my surprised, he can learn how to play games very fast as well! He is a smart boy. I like him very much.
I did volunteer work for Ms. Bartell, too. Mike and I helped her to check student blog links. And cleaned the lobby, because there were a lot of things in the lobby’s corner. Those things were used in Halloween and Christmas’ party. Our social class’ teacher also helped us to buy McDonald. And we ate lunch together. That was very funny!
I remember that I also helped Ms. Bartell to translate a Chinese story. This story’s name is "little horse cross the river ". It’s very easy for me to read and understand in Chinese because when I was just 6 years old, I have already read this book. But if you want to translate it into English, it’s a little hard. Because some Chinese words can not translate into English words directly. I just could translate them into sentences.
I spend a lot of time on it, but I feel good because during these volunteer works, I learned a lot of things, I know that help other people is the same to help yourself, when you help other people, you can learn more things that you can’t learned before.
