Dear Mr Wang,
I'm Li Hua from Grade 8. I'm really willing to be a volunteer to help the foreign students from the International School and introduce traditional Chinese festivals to them.
I have many advantages as a volunteer. First, I'm good at communicating and expressing myself. Second, I can speak fluent English, which is important for introducing traditional Chinese festivals clearly. Moreover, I have a good understanding of Chinese culture. I am familiar with the customs of different traditional festivals, so it's easy for me to share our festival stories with them. Last but not least, I'm very warm-hearted and always ready to help people in need.
I sincerely hope to be one of the volunteers. It would be a precious opportunity for me to spread Chinese culture to foreign friends.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Good morning, everyone!
I'm Li Hua. Last week, my classmates and I volunteered at a nursing home.
First, we cleaned the rooms and watered plants. Besides, we chatted with the elderly, sang songs, and even taught them simple exercises. It was a meaningful experience. Why did we do this I believe helping others is the best way to help ourselves. By caring for the elderly,we learn patience and responsibility. What’s more, their smiles make us realize the joy of giving.
In my opinion, volunteering brings a strong feeling of satisfaction. It connects us with people in need and makes our world warmer. It shows everyone can make a differences as long as he or she is willing to
