Walter was always sitting in the same chair when I came to visit.He would look up and smile when he saw me and pat the chair next to him for me to sit down.He loved to tell me about his lost golden years when he was an excellent baseball player.I was a good listener.After a couple of hours of talking,I would shake his hands and say goodbye to him.I hoped that I brought a little sunshine into Walter's life.
I met Walter when I was a high school student participating in a volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home.It was the first of many such activities,ranging from playing with disabled children to sitting with cancer patients in a hospital.These activities seemed to satisfy my desire to be useful and to feel a meaningful connection to the lives of others.
My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness,and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life.Volunteer work provided a way of attempting to realize the truth of these messages.
I learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act of helping someone less fortunate.Involvement in the life of another person has enriched my life as well.Seeing how people deal with the challenges of their lives has taught me valuable lessons in courage and dignity.Many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life.Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave.
This is why volunteerism works - each of us has so much need for human connection and so much to give to others.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
Betty發(fā)布:2025/1/30 8:0:1組卷:12引用:2難度:0.5
