good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
last summer, i volunteered(动词) to work as an english teacher in a primary school for children of migrant workers. to be accurate, i didn't volunteer. i was dragged in literally. when my friends first hit upon the idea of this project. i was all against it. 'what?' to spend my vacation standing in the heat yelling at a bunch of nine-year-olds who couldn't even speak proper mandarin chinese? and besides. there's no pay for my toil. no. i am definitely not going. my friends twisted my arms to have me join them.
unexpectedly，the first lesson i taught turned out a lesson for me. the moment i stepped into the shabby classroom. i was touched by the loud, respectful voices in unison. 'good morning teacher !' instead of fooling around, the children were thirsty for knowledge and efficient in absorbing everything i was able to give them. this made me despise myself for i hadn't even prepared for the class. during the break. i leaned over the squeaky desk, chatting with a sweaty boy in the front row. "without air-conditioning, it's really hot here. are you tired?" not at all. said he. shaking his head. it's fine here. my dad builds asphalt roads. that is really tiring and hot.
as summer advanced. my enthusiasm as a teacher grew. i prepared my lesson carefully and even used some methods my teachers used. i organized many group activities to give the kids fun. strangely enough the heat was also becoming less and less unbearable. soon, my one-month volunnteer came to an end. when i was leaving my last class, i turned back and saw smiling faces and waving hands. never before had i ever had such a feeling of sadness. which was, nevertheless, mixed with a sense of enrichment, fulfillment and happiness. i was paid for my work, amply paid, not in terms of money, but something more valuable.
my english was improved, i was able to teach it, although not very professional. i learned about the grassroots-level society. inside myself a heart is growing. a heart that not only beats for myself. but cares for others as well. the volunteer work gave me a precious little chance of saying thanks. to people like the little boy's father who construct highways and undergrounds, build up modern skyscrapers, and make our cities more and more beautiful. to help the children with their english was all i could do at present to show my gratitude to these unsung heroes. the world may not have been fair to them. so privileged and blessed people like me make their life better. whatever i do for them, however, i know it can't be compared with what they have done to improve the quality of life in our cities. ladies and gentlemen. now i realize that voluntary shouldn't be just a one-time personal experience. it should be a lifetime activity of everybody. many of us are now offering assistance to the needy and to each other and our efforts have indeed made a difference schooling,---- or caring for the elderly in nursing homes, and helping out in 20xx beijing olympics, will not only contribute to the harmony of the world but elevate ourselves as well. emerson once said, "it's one of the most beautiful compensations of this life no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself" he was right. i hear that my university is going to organize another voluntary teaching program this summer. this time i won't be dragged in. i will volunteer. thank you !
早上好,女士们,先生们,
去年夏天,我自愿(动词)工作作为孩子的英语老师在一所小学的农民工。是准确的,我没有做志愿者。我被拖在字面上。当我的朋友第一次偶然发现这个项目的想法。我反对它。“什么?“度假站在一群9岁时的热大喊大叫的人甚至不能说正确的普通话吗?除此之外。没有支付我的辛劳。不。我绝对不会。我的朋友扭曲我的胳膊让我加入他们的行列。
出乎意料,第一节课我给了一个教训。当我走进一间破旧的教室。声,令我感动恭敬的声音。“老师早上好!”而不是鬼混,孩子们渴望知识和有效吸收我能够给他们的一切。这让我鄙视自己,我还没准备好。在休息期间。我俯身在吱吱作响的桌子,和前排的男孩。“这里没有空调,很热。你累了吗?“不是。他说。摇着头。这里很好。我爸爸建立沥青道路。这是很累人的,热。
随着夏天的先进。我作为老师的热情了。我认真准备功课,甚至使用一些方法我的老师使用。我组织了许多集体活动给孩子们的乐趣。奇怪的热量也变得越来越无法忍受。很快,我的月volunnteer结束。当我离开我的最后一节课,我回头,看见笑脸,挥舞着双手。我之前从来没有过这样一种悲伤的感觉。然而,与浓缩,混合满足和幸福。我是我的工作,充分报酬,不是钱,而是更有价值的东西。
提高我的英语,我可以教它,虽然不是很专业。我了解了基层社会。在自己的心正在增长。的心不仅为自己拍。但关心其他人。的志愿工作给了我一个宝贵的机会说谢谢。人们喜欢小男孩的父亲建造高速公路和地铁建立现代摩天大楼,让我们的城市越来越美丽。帮助孩子们与他们的英语都是我目前能做的给我的感谢这些无名英雄。他们可能没有被公平的世界。特权和幸福像我这样的人让他们的生活更美好。无论我做什么,但是,我知道它不能与他们所做的事情来改善我们的城市的生活质量。女士们,先生们。现在我意识到,自愿不应该只是一个一次性的个人经验。它应该是一个一生的活动每个人。我们中的许多人现在提供帮助穷人和彼此和我们的努力的确差异教育,——或者在疗养院照顾老人,并帮助在20xx年北京奥运会,将不仅有利于世界的和谐,提升自己。爱默生曾经说过:“人生最美丽的补偿之一,没有人能真诚地尽力帮助另一个没有帮助自己”他是对的。我听说我的大学会组织今年夏天另一个自愿的教学程序。这一次我不会拖。我将志愿者。谢谢你!
