Volunteering Is Fun
One afternoon I was sitting at home
feeling so d of feeling
sorry for
myself
，
I wanted
to meet people and have new experiences so I
decided to start volunteering.I
searched on my computer and found a
website where I could volunteer on a
farm in France.
My time
working on a farm was a new experience for was
basically a free holiday as food and
accommodation were
r
，
it was not your
typical holiday as I had to look after
fifteen horses and sleep at the top of
a tower in a castle
！
I was an
awful
farmer but it did not matter
because I made some great friends.
However
，
you do
not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had
plenty
of adventures at home as
volunteering can become a
example
，
I love singing so I
had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to
conduct my local choir.I did slowly
improve and it felt great to conduct the
choir in a
university
，
I organised a
concert for charity with my
was really
fun founding bands and raising money for a cause
we
believe in.
It
is true that you feel good volunteering but there
are also other
advantages.I once
volunteered as a server at a charity sports event
where
the organizers gave me cupcakes
to thank me for my services.I also
volunteered in a charity shop so I
found loads of nice cheap clothes to
update my
wardrobe
（衣柜）
.
While this is all
fun
，
my favourite aspect of
volunteering is creating and
sharing
terrible attempts at farming have given me
hilarious stories
to
tell
！
Talking to volunteers
from different countries and backgrounds has
also helped me learn more about the
world.I feel thankful to have had so
much fun with many nice people thanks
to volunteering.

I remember the first day when I saw
Sally playing basketball.
I
watched
in wonder as she struggled her
way through the crowd of boys on the
playground. She seemed so

but she managed to shoot jump shots
just
over their heads and into the net.
The boys always tried to stop her
2
nobody could.
I
began to notice Sally at other times, basketball
in hand, playing

She practiced
dribbling(
运球
) and

over and over.
One day I asked Sally why she

so
much. Without a moment of
hesitation
she said,
“
I want to go to
college. The only way I can go is to get

I

Slowly and quietly, I
