s1:if i'm a volunteer,i'd like to go to the western part of our country.because many people there can't get access to clean drinking water,and quite a few develop strange diseases.i think i can help them.i know how to make water clean for them.and from my grandfather,i learned to treat some diseases with chinese medicine.i would like to spend as many days or months as possible to help them if possible.i will work as a doctor to cure diseases.of course,i will learn more traditional methods to treat different diseases.
s2:if i'm a volunteer,i'd like to go to africa.because many people there are too poor to get formal education.just because of that,many suffer from aids or other contagious diseases.i'd like to share my skills of being a teacher and teach them.if possible,i will work there for a year and then come back to finish my education.and then i will return to the place to work again.in this way,i can help them get the latest information about the world and about science and technology.of course,i can also get to know africa and african people better,in order to help them help themselves.because i know “god helps those who help themselves.”
s3:i will go to the hospital near my community.there are a lot of disabled people who have no one to help them.they are lonely and sad.i would like to talk with them,read to them,and even sing with them.in this way,i can help them get enough courage for their future life.i will go there every sunday,and if possible,i will persuade my friends to go there with me.then more and more people will offer help,and more and more disabled people will get help.i just want to be a volunteer,which does not need any special skills.i will learn how to take care of the elder and the sick.
