Unlike students in China, Canadian high school students usually have lots of free time, especially during weekends, since Canadian teachers often give little homework. So how do Canadian teenagers spend their weekends? Well, volunteering makes up most of their free time.
In Canada, volunteering is a quite common thing among people of all ages, as they believe that being helpful is one of the most important qualities to have. There are many kinds of volunteer work. Chances to help are everywhere, including in schools, shopping malls, or even people's gardens.
Now, I'm volunteering for a charity (慈善机构). My job is to help the teachers at the charity's Chinese language school. I teach in a preschool class, where students are aged from 3 to 6.
When I first started, I was quite nervous as I'd never worked with little kids before.
Then, as time went on, I became more familiar with the students. One teacher asked me to help the youngest girl in the class draw a picture based on the word "grateful". As I was drawing and talking with her, I felt warm and peaceful and suddenly realized that it was not that difficult to work with children. When the class was over, I breathed out deeply, feeling really excited and even a little bit proud of what I'd done.
Volunteering gives us a chance to change someone's life, including our own. It gives us the satisfaction of helping others. Volunteering is also a great way to give back to society while developing social skills and meaningful experience for the days ahead. That's also the reason why Canaan high school students have to volunteer for at least 40 hours in order to graduate. I think helping other always good.
1.Canadian students spend their weekends quite different from Chinese students.
2.It's normal for Canadians to offer help in different places.
3.Now, the writer is volunteering to teach the kids in a primary school.
4.The writer managed to help a girl in the class, and the teacher was very satisfied.
5.40 hours' volunteer work is one of the requirement for high school graduation in Canada.
