Voluntary work is more than just giving a hand to others and it’s a way to build a warmer society. A recent survey among middle school students in Shanghai shows that 68% of teenagers have taken part in at least one voluntary activity, but only 32% keep doing it regularly. Some students say they quit because they have no enough time, while others think their small efforts can’t make a real difference.
However, volunteers from a community service center tell a different story. They say even a simple smile or a short talk can light up the life of people in need. For example, visiting the elderly once a month can make them feel less lonely, and teaching primary school students to read can help them build confidence in learning. What’s more, voluntary work also helps teenagers grow in that they learn to care for others, work with teammates and understand the meaning of responsibility.
The survey also finds that schools and families play a key role in encouraging students to do voluntary work. When schools organize more voluntary activities and parents set a good example, more teenagers are willing to join in and stick to it.

Last month, the club organized a book donation activity for a primary school in a mountain village.

Blood donation is a silent way to help others, and it’s easy for most healthy adults to do. But many people still have wrong ideas about it. Some think donating blood will make them weak, and others believe it’s harmful to their health. In fact, these ideas are all wrong.
Doctors say that a healthy adult who weighs over 50kg can donate 200-400ml of blood every six months. This amount of blood is only a small part of the body’s total blood, and the body will make new blood in a short time. What’s more, regular blood donation can help the body update blood cells and reduce the risk of some blood diseases.
World Blood Donor Day is on June 14th every year. It aims to tell people the importance of blood donation and thank all blood donors. In many cities, there are blood donation buses on the street on that day, and many people line up to donate blood. Some of them are young people, even teenagers who are over 18. They say it’s a special way to celebrate their birthday or just to do something for society.

Emily’s story has inspired many of her classmates. They join Emily to help the animals, and they call themselves “the Little Animal Helpers”. Emily says, “I don’t think I’m doing anything great.

Our school set up a Voluntary Work Club last term to encourage students to help people in need. At first, only a few students joined the club, because many of them didn’t know what to do or how to start. 36 The teachers in the club gave us a lot of advice and told us that voluntary work is not as hard as we thought.
We first planned to visit the children’s hospital near our school. 37 We prepared some storybooks, toys and hand-made cards for the sick children. When we got there, we read stories to them, played games with them and taught them to draw pictures. 38 Their smiles made us feel warm and happy.
After that, we did more voluntary activities: we helped the elderly in the community clean their homes, we picked up litter in the park, and we taught English to the children from poor families. 39 Now the club has over 100 members, and more and more students want to join us.

Volunteering is a precious experience that brings both warmth to others and growth to ourselves, and I truly understand this after six months of volunteer work in my school’s Warm Heart Club. I am an eighth-grader who used to be a shy and self-centered boy. I only cared about my own study and never thought about doing something for people in need. Last semester, my teacher advised our class to take part in a volunteer service for kids with physical challenges in a community center nearby, and I joined it with my deskmate just out of curiosity at first.
The community center has many kids who have trouble moving their bodies freely and hardly join outdoor social activities. My main volunteer task is to stay with these kids, play simple puzzle games with them and teach them to make easy paper crafts like paper cranes and paper flowers. At the very beginning, I was clumsy and didn’t know how to communicate with them. When I saw their sad faces, I even wanted to give up the volunteer work. But one day, a little boy who couldn’t walk told me that the paper crane I made for him was the most beautiful gift he had ever got. His sincere words touched me deeply, and I made up my mind to stick to this meaningful work.
Now I spend two hours in the community center every Saturday. I prepare different small hand-made gifts for the kids each time and learn to talk with them with more patience and kindness. Gradually, I find the kids start to smile more and are willing to share their feelings with me. For myself, I am not the shy boy any more. I become more outgoing and confident, and I learn to care for others and understand their needs. This volunteer experience changes me a lot. It lets me know that a small kind act can light up others’ life, and helping others is also a great way to make ourselves a better person.
46. What kind of boy did the writer use to be before joining the Warm Heart Club
47. Why did the writer join the volunteer service at the beginning

Our school’s voluntary work group has been bringing warmth to people around us for nearly a year. We started this activity because we wanted to help those living in difficult situations.

They do this by giving these items freely, and in other words, they d (52) these things to help make the kids happier. We also spend our spare time, the time that we don’t use for study and homework, accompanying the elderly who live alone in the nearby community. We chat with them about their life stories, help them tidy up their rooms, and teach them how to use smartphones to video call their children who work in other cities.
Last month, we met a boy named Xiao Yu in the hospital. He has been suffering from a serious disease for a long time and often stays in low s (53). We organized a small painting activity for him and other kids. Xiao Yu painted a bright sun and told us he hoped to recover soon. Seeing his smile, we all felt that every effort we made was valuable.
