What should I do?Nurse: You have a fever .You have a bad cold.Student: What should I do? Should I take some medicine?Nurse: You shouldn’t be in school today. You should go home now, take this medicine, and get some rest.Student: Thank you. I’ll go home right now.Unit2 I’ll help to clean up the city parks.Dear Sir or madam,I am waiting to you about volunteering at the library. I am interested in computers and teaching, and I want to volunteer as a computer teacher for people who lack computer skills.I love working with computers and I’m good at explaining how to use new software to younger students at school. I’ve taught my grandparents how to use e-mail and wordprocessing software.I like to help people to enjoy computers as much as I do, so I think I’d be good at this job.I want to help out help out as a volunteer at your library because I know that many people go there to use your computers.I’m free to help on weekends and sometimes in the evenings.Yours truly,Jiang HuaUnit3 Could you please clean your room?P24 3b Write a letter to the Sunday Mail and express your opinion.Dear Sir or Madam,I believe that children should do some chores at home. I disagree that children’s only job is to study hard and do well at school. Of course it is important for child to study hard. However, I think it is unfair for children to expect their parents to work hard outside and do all the household chores, too. I think children should at least do some simple chores to help their busy parents. For example, they should make their own beds and clean their own rooms because they are the ones who use these. They may not have time to help with the other parts of the house, but they should try to be responsible for their own areas. This will help them to grow up to be independent and responsible adults.Yours truly,Chen ShiUnit4 Why don’t you talk to your parents?P32 3b Write a letter to the magazine to express your opinions on after-school classes for children. Use the following expressions to help you.Dear Sir or Madam,I don’t really agree with what parents are saying about after-school classes because they only seem to think about getting their children into good schools or having successful children.Although some parents are right about the importance of learning from a young age,I think children should be allowed to be children and have a carefree childhood.In my opinion, it is important for parents not to push their children too hard. I believe it is better if parents try to really understand their children’s interests and abilities first so that they will not make their children take classes that are not suitable for them.Perhaps parents could let their children decide for themselves if they want to have any after-school classed. If children are allowed to take the classes they choose for themselves, they will benefit more from these classes. They will grow up to be not only successful in their own way but happy too.Yours truly,WeisongUnit5 What were you doing when the rainstorm came?P40 3b Write a short article about the important event in 3a. Try to write three paragraphs.An important event that I remember well was the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that happened on December 26, 2004. The earthquake happened under the sea and caused a tsunami that killed many people and destroyed many places in different countries.When I heard the news of the earthquake and tsunami, I was hanging out at my classmate’s house with my friends. My friends were eating snacks and playing computer games.I remember this event well because my mother was in Phuket, Thailand at the time for her job, and Phuket was one of the places affected by the tsunami. I was so worried and afraid for my mother that I cried. I went home immediately and waited for hour with my family before we received the news that my mother was alive and safe.Unit6 An old man tried to move the mountains.Unit7 What’s the highest mountain in the world?P56 3b Write a passage about whales and why they need to be protected. Use the information in 3a. Then make a poster.Whales are huge animals. They live in the sea and eat small fish and other sea life. One interesting fact is whales can jump high out of the water. Some kinds of whales are in danger because humans catch them for meat, fat, and oil, and use whale parts to make candles and soap. Whales are also in danger from water pollution. We should protect whales are also in danger from whale protection and by not putting rubbish into the sea. I think people should learn more about whales.Unit8 Have you read Treasure Island yet?P64 3b Write an article about the singer or writer. Here are some words and phrases you can use.My favorite singer is Jay Chou(Zhou Jielun). It took him a few years to become famous.

His albums have enjoyed great success in many countries, and his songs are popular with listeners of all ages.I like his music very much. It is pop music, but it has a mix of other kinds of music, such as R&B, rap, and rock. Many of his songs are about the world we live in. One of my favorite songs is “Dao Xiang”, which encourages people not to give up even when life is difficult.I feel happy and full of energy when I listen to his songs. I have introduced my best friend to Jay’s songs, and he enjoys the songs, too!Unit9 Have you ever been to a museum?P72 3b Write an article to advertise your hometown or a place you have been to.Have you ever been to Sydney, Australia? It is the state capital of New South Wales, and is a wonderful, modern city with a population of more than four million people.Sydney was established in 1788 as the first British colony in Australia.If you go to Sydney, you can visit the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Sydney Opera House, and maybe watch a performance there.

去养老院做志愿者活动的英语范文
去养老院做志愿者活动的英语范文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Volunteering at Meadowbrook Nursing HomeAs students, we're constantly being told about the importance of volunteering and giving back to the community. To be honest, I kind of rolled my eyes at the idea at first. Spending my free time helping out at some nursing home? No thanks, I'd rather be hanging out with friends or playing video games. But then my English teacher said we had to complete 20 hours of community service to pass the class. I grudgingly looked into opportunities in my area and settled on volunteering at Meadowbrook Nursing Home. Little did I know, those 20 hours would end up being one of the most rewarding experiences of my life so far.I have to admit, I didn't have super high expectations going into it. I just figured I'd spend a few hours a week playing bingo with some old people, smiling and nodding as they told me long-winded stories I didn't fully understand or care about. Butfrom the moment I stepped through the front doors of Meadowbrook, I was completely blown away.The place just had such a warm, welcoming vibe. The decor was bright and cheerful with plenty of cozy spaces to sit, read, or just chat. Big windows let in lots of natural light. And rather than a sterile, hospital-like atmosphere, it really did feel just like a home. But what struck me most was the residents themselves.I soon learned that the people living at Meadowbrook came from such rich, fascinating backgrounds. There were former teachers, nurses, business leaders, academics - you name it. They had traveled the world, raised families, built careers. Each person had decades' worth of incredible stories and wisdom to share. At first, I'll admit I had a bit of a hard time following along or relating to the references they made about cultural events from their youth. But the more I listened, the more I became captivated by their tales of how life used to be.Taking the time to really hear them out, I discovered that deep down, they weren't all that different from me and my friends. They still had the same drive, the same ambition, the same youthful spark as any of us. They just happened to be in a later chapter of life. In many ways, spending time with them was like getting a glimpse into my future self, 60 or 70 years fromnow. I realized these were people I could learn so much from; windows into a past era as well as role models for aging with grace and vitality.In between swapping stories, I took part in the home's daily activities and outings - everything from arts and crafts, to music performances, to nature walks around the grounds. I have to say, for a group of "old people" stereotypically portrayed as decrepit or immobile, these residents had way more energy and enthusiasm than I did most days! There was always another art project to tackle, another puzzle to solve, another reason to keep their minds and bodies active. It became obvious that Meadowbrook doesn't just house its residents - it nurtures their whole health and spirit.Of course, there were definitely more somber moments too.I formed special bonds with several residents in particular, only to have to say goodbye as their health took a turn for the worse. Watching their loved ones go through that grieving process really struck a chord in me. It made me think about my own grandparents' mortality, and how I should cherish every moment I'm lucky enough to spend with them.While sad, those experiences ultimately revealed to me just how strong the human spirit can be, even when facing darknessor adversity. The way those families came together, comforting each other and celebrating the long lives of their departed loved ones - it was beautiful. They treated everyone at Meadowbrook, staff and residents alike, as part of their extended family. And in turn, I was welcomed into that makeshift family with open arms, almost like an adopted grandchild.Those 20 mandatory hours simply flew by. Before I knew it, I had completed them and then some - continuing to volunteer at Meadowbrook simply because I wanted to. It went from being a class requirement to a life-enriching experience that I looked forward to every week. While my time there inevitably came to an end as I prepared to graduate high school and move on to college, I know that I'll hold the memories and lessons from Meadowbrook close to my heart forever.Getting to know the residents there didn't just expose me to amazing people and stories. It helped me gain a deeper appreciation for the elderly, and the incredible lives they've led. It showed me the type of compassion, patience, and empathy that working with seniors requires. Most importantly, it instilled in me a value for giving back and being part of a community - taking the time to connect with those who may so easily be forgotten or cast aside by society.Volunteering has a funny way of feeling like the people being helped are the lucky ones, when in reality, it's the volunteers who receive the biggest gift. My time at Meadowbrook opened my eyes to an entirely new perspective that I wouldn't trade for anything. It was a priceless reminder that no matter our age or station in life, every person has inherent worth and wisdom to share. All we have to do is be willing to lend an ear and learn.So to anyone considering volunteering, especially at a nursing home - I can't recommend it enough. It may start as checking off a box, but it will become so much more meaningful than that. Keep an open mind, soak up every conversation and experience, and I guarantee you'll walk away not only having helped others, but with a deeper understanding of yourself and your own hopes for living a life well-lived. Thanks to Meadowbrook, that's the mindset I'll carry with me into this next exciting chapter. Let's just hope that when I am old and gray myself one day, I can share my life's stories with the same spirit as the residents I was so lucky to know.篇2Volunteering at Sunnyvale Nursing HomeAs I pulled into the parking lot of Sunnyvale Nursing Home, I felt a mix of excitement and trepidation. This was my first time volunteering at a care facility for the elderly, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Would the residents be friendly? Would I be able to connect with them? I took a deep breath and headed inside.The lobby was bright and cheerful, with comfortable chairs and a few residents sitting around watching TV. A kind-looking woman at the front desk greeted me with a warm smile. "You must be the student volunteer. I'm Diane, the activities director here. Thank you so much for coming!"Diane gave me a quick tour, explaining that the facility had separate wings for residents who required different levels of care. The memory care unit housed those with Alzheimer's or dementia, while the assisted living wing provided support for elderly residents who were mostly independent. There was also a skilled nursing area for those with more intensive medical needs.My role as a volunteer would be to spend time with the residents - talking, playing games, helping with activities, or just providing companionship. Diane emphasized that loneliness was one of the biggest challenges for many elderly individuals,especially those without nearby family. A friendly visitor could really brighten their day.As we entered the common room in the assisted living area, I was struck by how lively it was. A group was gathered around a large jigsaw puzzle, while another cluster played cards. An elderly man with a warm smile approached and introduced himself as Arthur."A new face! It's so good to have you here, young man. Have a seat and tell me about yourself." Arthur's friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease.I learned that Arthur was a retired history professor who had taught at the local university for over 40 years. Despite being 92 years old and using a walker, his mind was still razor-sharp. We spent the next hour discussing subjects ranging from ancient civilizations to current global affairs. Arthur's depth of knowledge was incredible, and his passion for learning infectious. Time flew by as we enthusiastically debated and exchanged perspectives.After bidding Arthur farewell, I wandered over to the puzzle table where three elderly women were working on a scenic landscape image with hundreds of tiny pieces. They welcomed me warmly and immediately put me to work sorting edge pieces.I learned their names were Rose, Ethel, and Marge - a delightfully spunky trio who had been best friends for over 60 years.Rose couldn't resist gently teasing me about being a newcomer to the world of jigsaw puzzles. "You'll catch on quickly, dear. Just don't lose your patience when all the pieces look the same!" The ladies' witty banter and storytelling had me laughing until my cheeks hurt.Ethel reminisced about raising her children during the 1960s, while Marge recounted hilarious anecdotes from her career as a school lunch lady. I couldn't get over how young and vibrant they seemed, sharing inside jokes and memories like giddy teenagers. Their unwavering bond and positive attitudes were truly inspiring.As the morning slipped away, I made my way to the memory care unit to spend time with residents there. This wing had a more subdued, calming ambiance with soothing music playing in the background. Residents were engaged in simplifiedactivities like coloring or doing simple puzzles. Many struggled with confusion and memory lapses.I sat down next to a sweet-faced woman named Dorothy who was coloring a picture of a butterfly. "What lovely colorsyou're using," I remarked. She looked up at me with a warm smile, though her eyes held a hint of bewilderment."Colors? Oh yes, I like the colors. Aren't they pretty?" For a while, we colored side-by-side in comfortable silence. Eventually, Dorothy began humming a familiar old tune."This was my favorite song when I was a young lady," she said wistfully. "My Frank and I used to dance to it at the church socials."As Dorothy reminisced about her long-ago courtship with her husband Frank, I could see her memories temporarily bringing her joy and clarity. We talked about her youth, her children, her faith - fragments of a lifetime that still resonated deep within her heart and mind despite the fog of her disease.I spent the rest of my time that day visiting with other memory care residents - listening to their stories, laughing at their jokes (even if I didn't understand the punchlines), and simply being a friendly, caring presence. While some were unable to converse much, just holding their hand or giving a warm smile seemed to brighten their day.As I left Sunnyvale that afternoon, I felt a profound sense of gratitude for the experience. I was struck by the incredibleresilience, wisdom, and spirit embodied by the residents I had met. Though their minds and bodies had experienced the deterioration that comes with aging, their humanity, humor, and dignity still shone through.Rose, Ethel and Marge demonstrated that growing old doesn't have to mean giving up your zest for life. Arthur was proof that curiosity and an active mind can make even your 90s a passionate, rewarding time. And Dorothy, despite her memory lapses, was still able to find fleeting moments of clarity through familiar comforts like music and nostalgia.In many ways, spending time at Sunnyvale was a humbling experience that reminded me of the inherent worth and dignity in every stage of life. These extraordinary individuals had raised families, built careers, persevered through hard times, and amassed decades of accumulated life experience. And now in their twilight years, all they desired was simple human connection - a listening ear, a hand to hold, a moment of laughter to transcend their lonely circumstances.As a young student, it's all too easy to look at the elderly and see only dementia, disability, dependence. But getting to know residents like Arthur, Rose, and Dorothy opened my eyes to the incredible richness, complexity, and beauty that lies withinevery aging soul. These men and women weren't merely feeble bodies confined to a care facility - they were repositories of hard-won wisdom, lived experiences, hopes, and lasting legacies.My time as a volunteer at Sunnyvale was one of the most powerful, perspective-shifting experiences of my life so far. I left with a deeper appreciation for the inherent dignity of the human experience at every age and stage. It inspired me to be more present, to listen more attentively, and to approach every interaction with openness, empathy and respect.I can't wait to go back.篇3Volunteering at Sunnydale Retirement HomeAs my junior year of high school was winding down, I found myself looking for ways to get more involved in the community. I had heard about the opportunity to volunteer at Sunnydale Retirement Home through a family friend, and I decided to sign up for a weekly shift over the summer. While I didn't know much about what to expect, I was excited to gain some new experiences and give back in a small way. Little did I know just how profound of an impact those few hours each week would have on me.On my first day, I have to admit I felt a bit nervous and out of place as I entered the retirement home. The sterile hallways and stark decor gave off an almost hospital-like vibe that didn't feel especially welcoming or cheerful. However, those first impressions quickly melted away when I was introduced to the wonderful residents.My initial role was simply to provide companionship by visiting with some of the residents in the common areas. As I went from room to room, I was instantly struck by the fascinating stories each person had to share about their lives. There was Margaret, a retired schoolteacher who had dedicated over 40 years to shaping young minds. And George, a former engineer who helped design bridges and infrastructure across our state decades ago. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, each person I met had this incredible depth of life experience that captivated me.As the weeks went on, I formed real bonds and looked forward to my visits. I discovered that for many of the residents, having someone to talk to and listen was such a simple but meaningful act. Their eyes would light up when I arrived, and our conversations would stretch for hours as they recounted fascinating tales and milestones from their youth. I was a willingaudience, completely enamored by the vivid memories they could transport me to from eras I had only read about in history books.But it wasn't just an opportunity for me to learn from them. Many residents were incredibly interested to hear about my own life as a student as well. They were endlessly amused by my stories about friendships, classes, social media, and the latest trends and pop culture phenomenons. In those moments, I could see the sharp wit and youthful spirit still shining through, even as their outward appearance had changed with age. We may have come from completely different generations, but we discovered we had more in common than it first seemed.Over time, my role expanded beyond just friendly visiting. I started assisting with activity nights, helping to coordinate games, arts and crafts, chair exercises, or dancing whenever an evening of entertainment was planned. Seeing the residents' faces light up with childlike enthusiasm whenever we did a fun group activity was pure joy. For a brief moment, the troubles of aging seemed to melt away as they were transported back to a simpler, more carefree time in their lives.Some of my most cherished memories, though, were the quieter, more personal moments. Like the afternoon I spent withEdith as she showed me old photograph albums, reliving her wedding day and the birth of her children. Or the times I would help Arthur navigate his motorized wheelchair outside to the beautifully tended garden courtyard, where he could bask in the warm sunshine and fresh air while we talked over glasses of lemonade. In those intimate shared experiences, I glimpsed a side of these incredible individuals that few others had the privilege of seeing. Their trust and openness with me was incredibly humbling.Of course, there were many bittersweet moments and hard realities that came with the territory as well. Watching the steady progression of mental and physical decline in some of the residents was profoundly difficult at times. Forming close bonds only to have a dear friend eventually pass away was something I had to learn to process and accept with each loss. I vividly remember the deep sorrow I felt when Margaret, one of the first residents I met, deteriorated rapidly from dementia before my eyes over the span of months. Or when George quietly shared with me that his wife of over 60 years had just passed on, leaving him consumed by loneliness. In those dark moments, I had to dig deep to find the inner strength to be a supportive, caring presence...even when my heart felt shattered.Yet it was often in those most painful moments that the experience became most valuable and life-changing for me. I was forced to confront the harsh realities and fragilities of human life in an upfront way. But I also witnessed the incredible resilience, dignity and grace with which so many residents faced life's greatest challenges. Their ability to persevere, find pockets of happiness, and make the most of each day despite their dwindling independence was a lesson in perspective and gratitude I'll never forget.As my summer of volunteering eventually came to a close, it was easily one of the hardest goodbyes I've ever had to experience. Sunnydale and its residents had become like a second home and family to me. The relationships I formed transcended age, forging bonds that will stay with me for life. While my time there was fleeting, the invaluable wisdom, stories, and life lessons I absorbed will forever shape the person I aspire to become.。

英语作文志愿者帮助孤寡老人句型短语
英语作文志愿者帮助孤寡老人句型短语全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Volunteer Work Helping Elderly PeopleMy name is Emily. I am 10 years old and in 5th grade. Every Saturday, I volunteer to help elderly people who live alone. It makes me feel good to help them. I want to tell you about my volunteer work.Every Saturday morning, my mom drives me to the Community Center. That is where I meet with the other volunteers. There are usually 4 or 5 other kids who volunteer too. Mrs. Jones is the lady who organizes everything. She tells us what we will do that day.Some Saturdays, we go visit elderly people at their homes. We might help them clean their house. Or we might help them do yard work like raking leaves. Sometimes we just sit and talk with them. A lot of the elderly people don't have any family nearby. They get very lonely. They are always happy to see us and have someone to chat with.Other Saturdays, the elderly people come to the Community Center. We play games like bingo with them. Or we do arts and crafts projects. One time, we made Christmas ornaments. Another time, we painted pictures of flowers. The elderly people really enjoy getting to spend time with us kids.My favorite part is just talking with the elderly people. They have muito interesting stories to tell about their lives. Like one lady, Mrs. Mitchell, grew up on a farm. She used to have to milk the cows every morning before school! Another man, Mr. Rodriguez, used to be a soldier. He went to war when he was very young. The elderly people have lived through so much history.Helping the elderly people is not always easy. Some of them have a hard time hearing. So I have to speak loudly and clearly. Some of them get confused easily. So I have to be very patient. And some of them have a hard time getting around. So I have to be very careful when helping them walk or stand up. But all of the elderly people are so kind and grateful for our help.I really enjoy my volunteer work. It makes me happy to see the smiles on the elderly people's faces. They get so excited whenever we come to visit them. Just spending time with us brightens their day. Helping the elderly people also teaches meto be patient, compassionate, and giving. I am learning so much from them.I think it is important for kids to volunteer and help others. The elderly people have given so much to our community over their lifetimes. Now it is our turn to give a little bit back to them. Even just a few hours on Saturdays makes a big difference in their lives. I am proud to be volunteering and helping the elderly people in my community. I hope I can continue this volunteer work for many more years.篇2Volunteering to Help Elderly People AloneI like to help people. It makes me feel good inside. One way I help is by volunteering with elderly people who are alone. These people do not have family or friends to help them.Some elderly people live in nursing homes. Others live in their own homes by themselves. Either way, they can use some help sometimes. That's where kid volunteers like me come in!At the nursing home, we play games with the elderly residents. My favorite games are bingo and balloon volleyball. The older people have a hard time bending over to pick upthings. So I help them out. I get the bingo chips for them. I also chase after the balloons when they roll away during volleyball.The elderly people really enjoy when we visit. They get big smiles when we come into the room. Smiling makes them look younger and happier. We kids put on little shows or sing songs together too. The residents clap and sing along. Music makes them tap their feet.After our activities, we sit with the residents. We listen to their stories about long ago times. Some talk about when they were young kids themselves. Others talk about faraway places they have traveled. A few talked about fighting in big wars. I learn so many new things from them!My favorite resident is Mrs. Jenkins. She is 92 years old with white hair. Even though she is old, she has a great sense of humor. She is always cracking jokes to make people laugh. When I visit her, she gives me hard candy from her purse. I try not to eat it all at once!On other days, I go with a group to help elderly people still living at home. We do chores for them that are hard at their age. We rake leaves, shovel snow, or pull weeds in their yards. We also go grocery shopping for them and carry the heavy bags inside.My job is usually washing the windows or vacuuming the floors inside. I have to be very careful when vacuuming. I watch out for tripping over loose rugs or bumping into coffee tables. The elderly people's houses have lots of knickknacks that could break easily.After we finish the chores, we sit with the older people. We read books or magazines out loud to them if their eyes are poor. Some of the elderly people cannot hear well. So we speak loudly and clearly when talking to them. We make sure to face them so they can read our lips.Whenever it is someone's birthday, we make them a big celebration. We bake a cake and decorate it. We make handmade birthday cards too. One time, we all dressed up and acted out a funny play about birthdays in olden days. The old people laughed hard at our costumes and acting!Spending time with the elderly people is my favorite activity. They have so many funny and interesting stories. I learn about history just by listening to them talk. It makes me imagine what life was like back then.The older people seem very happy when we visit. I think they get lonely being alone so much. Having visitors brightens theirday. We kids bring smiles to their faces. That alone makes volunteering worth it to me.I feel good inside after volunteering. I am glad I can providea useful service. I am helping those who are unable to do things for themselves anymore. Just giving a few hours makes their lives a little easier and happier.My volunteer work taught me many things. I learned skills like doing chores, listening closely, and being responsible. I became more patient and caring too. Most importantly, I realized how much happiness a child can bring to an elderly person's day.When I grow up, I want to keep volunteering with senior citizens. Maybe I'll work at a nursing home as a nurse or activities leader. Or perhaps I'll start a service to help older people still in their own homes. Either way, I want to make elderly people smile like the volunteers did for me.Until then, I'll keep volunteering as much as I can. Every visit, every small chore, every laugh I can give - that's my way of saying thank you to all the elderly people who came before me. They made the world what it is today. Now it's my turn to give a little help and care back to them.篇3Volunteering to Help the ElderlyMy name is Emily. I am 10 years old. I go to Maple Grove Elementary School. This year, I started volunteering. It makes me feel good to help others.Every Saturday, I go with my mom to the Sunny Valley Retirement Home. We spend a few hours there visiting with the grandmas and grandpas who live there. Some have families who visit them. But many do not have people come very often. That makes me sad.The elderly people at Sunny Valley are all very old. Their bodies do not work as well as they used to. Some use wheelchairs or walkers to get around. Others have trouble seeing or hearing. A few have a hard time remembering things.But they all still like company and someone to talk to. That's where I come in! As a volunteer, my job is to spend time with the residents. I chat with them, play games, help them get to activities, and just be a friendly face.When we first get to Sunny Valley, my mom and I go to the main lounge. We see who is there and needs some company.Sometimes the nurses suggest someone who is feeling lonelier that day.One resident I visit a lot is Mrs. Thompson. She is 92 years old and has long white hair. Her family lives far away so she doesn't get many visitors. Mrs. Thompson loves when I come and we can chat.She asks me about school and what I'm learning. I ask her about her life growing up. She has some funny stories from when she was a kid! We look at pictures together in photo albums. Sometimes we'll color pictures or play simple card games.Another resident I've gotten to know is Mr. Rodriguez. He is 87 and uses a wheelchair. His room is covered in shelves of books. We often read books aloud together. He helps me with longer words I get stuck on.Then there's sweet Mrs. Davies who is 97 and has bad eyesight. I help her get to the craft class in the activity room. We'll sit together making potholders or decorating picture frames. Even if she can't see well, she likes the feeling of creating things with her hands.My favorite though is probably Mr. Jenkins who just turned 100 last month! He is hard of hearing but has an amazingmemory. He can recall tiny details from his childhood during World War 2. I am fascinated listening to his stories of living through such an important time in history.Of course, not every resident wants to chat or do activities when we arrive. And that's okay too. Some days the grandmas and grandpas are very tired or not feeling well. On those days, I just sit quietly with them for a bit. Holding their hand or giving a warm smile can be comforting too.The best part about volunteering is making their day a little brighter. It makes me smile when I see their faces light up with joy from having a visitor. Something as small as listening to their stories or complimenting their sweater can turn their frown into a grin.The elderly residents don't have a lot of family or friends anymore. Many are lonely. Having a young person come spend time with them, even just for an hour or two, breaks up their monotonous weekly routine.In return for the little time I give, I get to form real bonds with these wise older people. They teach me so much about life just from the stories of their own experiences over the decades. I'm getting first-hand lessons in history, perseverance, gratitudeand looking on the bright side no matter what obstacles come your way.Volunteering with the elderly isn't all fun and games though. It can be a little sad too. Since most of the Sunny Valley residents are quite old and ill, some have passed away during this past year of me volunteering there.When that happens, I do feel a sense of loss at missing their friendly face and voice. But I'm also grateful I got to make a friend and bring some sunshine into their final days on earth. Knowing they spent their last months feeling cared about and not alone makes me glad I could be there for them.Overall, my volunteer experience at Sunny Valley Retirement Home has been so rewarding and meaningful. For just a few hours once a week, I get to make others happy. But they make me happier in return.I am creating bonds with sweet grandmotherly and grandfatherly figures. I am learning more about the real lived experiences of world history and personal life lessons. Most of all though, I am being taught the value of giving back to my community and prioritizing caring for others.Being a young student volunteer is hard work sometimes. But seeing the smiles of appreciation on the elderly residents' faces makes every minute worth it. I know I am making a positive difference, even if just in a small way.The elderly are often the forgotten members of society. Tucked away in nursing homes, they can feel incredibly lonely and unimportant. By volunteering, kids like me can be the bright light in their week. We bring them connection, mental stimulation, and reminders that they still matter.I feel so lucky to get to know these residents who are living libraries of wisdom and life experiences. I cherish the opportunity to spread some sunshine into their urban篇4My Summer Helping Grandmas and GrandpasLast summer, I was a volunteer helper! I helped old grandmas and grandpas who live all alone with no family around. It was so much fun and I felt really good inside for helping them.My mom signed me up to volunteer three days a week at the Senior Living Center near our house. The Senior Living Center has apartments where old people live by themselves when theirkids have grown up and moved away. A lot of them don't have family visiting very much.On my first day, I met Mrs. Jenkins. She is 82 years old with white hair and wrinkly skin. She has a walker to help her get around. Mrs. Jenkins lives all alone in a tiny apartment. She was so happy to see me! She gave me a big hug and said "What a cute little girl you are!"Mrs. Jenkins couldn't go outside very much because it's hard for her to walk far with her walker. So I went with her to play games, read stories, look at old photo albums, or just sit and chat. My favorite was looking at all her old photographs from when she was young. I saw pictures of her as a pretty teenager, then getting married, then having kids. She told me funny stories about all the things she did when she was my age.Another lady I helped was Mrs. Gonzalez. She is originally from Mexico and doesn't speak very much English. But we got along great even though I can't speak Spanish either! We communicated with hand gestures, smiles, and saying the few words we knew in each other's language. I helped clean her apartment and did little chores for her since it's hard for her to bend over or reach high places.Mr. Wilson was probably my favorite old person I helped. He was a sailor in World War 2 when he was very young. He had the most amazing stories to tell about traveling all over the world in the navy! One time his ship got caught in a huge storm and he thought they might sink. Another time his ship helped rescue people from the water after a battle. I could listen to his stories for hours.Whenever I visited Mr. Wilson, we would sit outside in the pretty garden area. He grew up on a farm, so he taught me all about the different flowers, trees, and birds we saw. We pulled weeds together and he showed me how to plant seeds for vegetables. I learned so many new things from him.Helping at the Senior Living Center was the most fun I had all summer. The grandmas and grandpas there were all so sweet and nice to me. I gave them company and helped with little things around their homes. But they gave me much more - their incredible life stories, wisdom from their many years, and special grandparent love that I don't get from my own grandparents who live far away.I felt proud of myself for volunteering my time to help people in need. The seniors were all alone with no family around to care for them on a regular basis. I was helping provide a littlebit of youth, energy and sunshine in their lives. Whenever I left after visiting them, I could see the smiles on their faces and happiness in their eyes just from me being there. That made me happier than anything.I can't wait to volunteer at the Senior Living Center again next summer! I'm going to keep visiting my special grandparent friends like Mrs. Jenkins, Mrs. Gonzalez, and Mr. Wilson. Who knows, maybe I'll meet even more amazing elderly people with fascinating lives to learn about. I have so much I can do to help them and they have so much more to teach me.Spending time with grandmas and grandpas who are all alone is an incredibly rewarding experience, even for a kid. You are bringing them joy, helping them feel loved, and getting priceless life lessons in return. If you get a chance to volunteer with elderly people in your community, you absolutely should do it. It's so much fun and you're going to make their lives brighter while learning from their lifetimes of wisdom at the same time!篇5Helping Old People Who Are AloneHi, my name is Jenny and I am 10 years old. I want to tell you about the old people who live near me who don't have family tohelp them. These people are called elderly and alone. They don't have kids or their kids live far away. It makes me sad when I see them outside struggling to do things by themselves.One man name Mr. Johnson lives down the street. He is 85 years old which is very very old! He has to use a walker to get around because his legs are weak. I see him going slow down the sidewalk pushing his walker. Sometimes he drops his grocery bags and has trouble picking them up. That must be so hard!There is also Miss Linda who is 92 years old. She lives in a little house by herself. I noticed she never cuts her grass or cleans her yard because she is too old and can't do that work anymore. The yard gets very messy with dead leaves and branches all over it. I feel bad because it probably makes her sad to see her yard that way.My teacher Mrs. Brown told our class about elderly people like Mr. Johnson and Miss Linda. She said they need help from people in the community to do basic things. She said we should think about being a volunteer to help them. A volunteer is someone who gives their time to do good things for others without getting paid. I decided I want to volunteer to help the old people in my neighborhood.I started by helping Mr. Johnson with his groceries when I saw him drop the bags. I ran over and picked up the bags for him. He smiled really big and said "thank you young lady!" I could tell it made him happy to get a little help. After that, every time I saw him out I would run over and carry his grocery bags for him. He called me his "helpful buddy."Next, I decided to help Miss Linda with her yard. My dad showed me how to use the lawn mower, rake and other yard tools. One Saturday I went to Miss Linda's and spent a few hours cleaning her whole yard. When she saw me out there working she came outside crying happy tears. She gave me a big hug and baked me delicious cookies as a thank you. After that, me and my brother took turns doing Miss Linda's yard work every week during spring, summer and fall.Doing these simple little things made the elderly people in my neighborhood so happy. They didn't have anybody else to help them, so my volunteering made a big difference in their life. Seeing their big smiles and getting their hugs was the best feeling! It made me proud of myself for using my time to volunteer in the community.My teacher Mrs. Brown was really impressed when I told her what I was doing as a volunteer. She said I was setting a greatexample for the whole class of how kids can help others through volunteering. She picked me as the "Citizenship Student of the Month" because I helped the community. I got a certificate and my picture was hung up in the school hallway. My parents were really proud of me too.After a while, some other kids in my class started volunteering with me to help elderly neighbors. We made a little club called the "Kid Volunteer Crew." Now there are 8 of us who volunteer to do different things. We rotate taking turns helping Mr. Johnson carry groceries, cleaning yards for people like Miss Linda, walking dogs, raking leaves and shoveling snow for the elderly people. We made a schedule so it is not too much work for our families.The elderly people are always smiling and waving when they see us coming down the street to volunteer. They bake us cookies and treats as a thank you. Sometimes they try to insist on paying us, but we always refuse and tell them we're happy to help for free as volunteers. Just getting their appreciative smiles is payment enough for us!I feel very fortunate that I decided to start volunteering. It has taught me how to be a caring person who thinks of others in need. Helping these elderly folks is not hard work for me, but ittruly makes their life easier. Knowing I can put a smile on their face makes me smile too! I plan to continue being a volunteer to help the elderly as long as I possibly can.Being a volunteer kid has inspired me to keep giving back when I get older too. I want to teach my own kids one day the importance of volunteering in the community. Not everybody is blessed with good health and family support as they get old. We need to watch out for our elderly neighbors and give them a hand if we can. A small act of kindness through volunteering can truly brighten somebody's day. As they say, it takes a village to care for everyone. I'm proud to be part of the village helping our elderly!篇6My Visit to the Old Folks HomeLast Saturday was a very fun and special day for me. I got to go visit the old folks home with my mom and some other kids from school. We were there to spend time with the grandmas and grandpas who live at the home. Most of them don't have family who can visit very often, so we went to be their visitors for the day!When we got to the big building, the grandmas and grandpas were waiting in a big room. They looked so happy to see us kids coming in. We went around shaking all their hands and introducing ourselves. "Hi, I'm Johnny!" I said to asweet-looking little old lady. "It's very nice to meet you!" she responded with a big smile. Her name was Mrs. Jenkins.After we met everyone, it was time to do some activities with the grandmas and grandpas. First up was arts and crafts time! The helpers gave us all paper, glue, scissors, and lots of fun decorations like pom poms, pipe cleaners and stickers. We could make whatever kind of art we wanted. I decided to make a picture for my grandma back home. I used green and purple paper and made the shape of a flower. Then I glued on some yellow pom poms in the middle.While we worked on our projects, we all chatted and got to know each other better. Mrs. Jenkins told me she used to be a school teacher when she was younger. She asked me what my favorite subject was. I told her it was math because I'm a whiz at adding and subtracting big numbers in my head. She laughed and said math was her favorite too!Next up was singing time. We passed out lyric sheets with fun songs like "You Are My Sunshine" and "She'll Be Comin'Round the Mountain." The grandmas and grandpas knew all the words! We had a great time singing together and doing the hand motions. Mr. Wilson from down the hall even got up and started dancing, which made us all laugh.After singing, we took a little break to have some snacks and lemonade. The grandmas and grandpas really enjoyed the cookies and juice boxes we brought them. While we ate, I heard lots of fun stories about what life was like when the grandmas and grandpas were kids. Mrs. Taylor grew up on a farm and had to milk the cows every morning before school!Then it was game time. We split into teams to play easy games like picture bingo and simple trivia questions. The grandmas and grandpas had a great time trying to get bingo first. When we played trivia, I was impressed by how many of the answers the older folks knew, like old movie stars and songs from way back when.Finally, it was time for us to go. We passed out the art projects we had made as little gifts for each grandma and grandpa to keep. They loved getting their homemade cards and pictures. I gave mine to Mrs. Jenkins and she gave me a big hug. "Thank you for visiting me today and being my buddy," she said. "You kids are just delightful!"On the way home in the car, I felt so happy inside. Getting to meet all the grandmas and grandpas and making them feel special for the day was one of the most fun things I've ever done. My mom said we get to go back again next month, and I can't wait! It's going to be great making more new friends at the home. I'm so lucky I get to volunteer and spend time with them.。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Zhao Xiaojiao. I’m a 14-year-old student
from Yanjia Middle School. I’d like to work in an
old people’s home. In my free time, I like to read
newspapers because reading newspapers can
broaden my knowledge. So I can read newspapers
to the old people and we can talk about some
interesting thing to cheer them up. So I think I’d
be good at this job. I really want to help out as a
volunteer in your old people’s home because I
believe it can help me to get my future dream job.
I can be good with them. I’m free to help every
Saturday. I hope you can let me work there.
Yours truly,
Zhao Xiaojiao.
