in order to make our city cleaner and more beautiful, the young volunteers of our school went to the people's park this morning and offered our help.
为了使我们的城市更加整洁漂亮,我们学校的青年志愿者今天上午来到人民公园提供我们的帮助。
at eight, the head of the park met us at the gate. after being divided into groups, we set out to work at once. some tidied up the parking area and had motorbikes paiked in the right place. some took care of the flowers and bushes, and persuaded people to keep off the grass. around the tiger den, one group kept order to prevent accidents from happening. at the aquarium, another group worked as guides and advised visitors not to smoke. when some of us were doing cleaning, an old man praised us and said, "well done, young fellows!
八点,公园的领导们在大门口迎接我们。分完小组之后,我们就开始工作了。一些同学打扫停车场,并把摩托车停到正确的位置。一些人照看鲜花和灌木,劝人们不要践踏草坪。在老虎窝,另一组保持秩序以避免发生事故。另外一组在水族馆当导游,建议游客不要吸烟。我们干活的时候,一位老人称赞我们说:小伙子们很好!
we were all tired but happy. what a morning we had today!
我们都很累,但是很开心。今天我们做的事情多好啊！多有意义啊！
every day, we can see the figures of the volunteers. actually, they have formed a kind of scenery of the city. some people hold that volunteering is merely a waste of time, because the volunteers have no gains with pains. however, i believe that doing voluntary is quite rewarding.
每天，我们都能看到许多的志愿者，事实上，他们已经成为城市的一道风景线了。有些人认为做志愿者就是单纯地浪费时间，因为做志愿者是只有付出没有回报的。然而，我相信做志愿者还是有一定回报的。
in the first place, we can put into practice what we have learnt before, for instance, when we were asked by a foreigner about the way to some place, we could practice our oral foreign language, it’s definitely a good opportunity to express ourselves in a foreign language correctly and clearly.
首先，我们可以把以前学过的东西付诸实践。例如，如果外国人向我们问路，我们就能练习口语，这肯定是一个用外语清楚地自我表达的好机会。
in the second place, we could make a lot of new friends while we are volunteering as a proverb says, “at home one relies on one’s parents and outside on one’s friends”, so it is never a bad thing to have lots of friends.
第二，做志愿者的时候可以交到很多新朋友。正如谚语所说的，在家靠父母,在外靠朋友。所以，拥有很多朋友永远都不会是件坏事.
finally, helping others is a good way to make you feel happy and when you help others solve a problem successful, you will feel fulfillment. in this sense, we reap a bountiful spiritual harvest by doing voluntary work.
