To start as a volunteer, you could look for an organization(机构)or activity in your area．Some volunteers sign up for the Peace Corps(和平部队)or other organizations and travel to faraway parts of the world．But you already have things to do at home．So maybe you should start with a small project．
Meng Chen is a student in Beijing．He goes to the Forbidden City almost every day．The 20-year-old volunteers there．He tells visitors about the clocks in the clock gallery(钟表馆)．
Meng is one of around 300 volunteer tour guides in the Forbidden City．One-third of them are university students．They hang around the palace like other visitors, but with red “volunteer” cards on their clothes．
Meng said he loves spending time in the buildings where 25 emperors(皇帝)spent their whole lives．“Every brick has a story to tell, ” he said．
But volunteer work is more than fun．Meng has to study for the job．It took him about three months to remember every detail(细节)of the 176 clocks in the clock gallery．
And it can be frustrating(让人泄气的)．Often, tourists turn down volunteering guides．“Too many people are in a rush to finish sightseeing．They don't have time to listen to us, ” said Shi Hui．He is a university student who volunteers there．
On his first day, Shi walked around for three hours until he found a man in his 50s who was happy to listen to him．
“It's always fun to have listeners who are interested in your talk, ” Shi said．

After the Tiger Mom comes the "Wolf Father"
Tan Xiaoyan, 15：
My dream is to go to Tsinghua University．There are top educational resources(资源), world famous teachers and excellent students in this university．If we spend years studying there, we surely will get a good job and live a better life in the future．However, there must be a lot of challenges and difficulties on the way．So I will accept(接受)the wolf father's strict educational style if it can really make my dream come true．
Liu Boyu, 15：
I would accept a wolf father because I really need a strict person to help me control(控制)myself．Now I am interested in playing computer games all day．And I don't want to study．A wolf father can help me focus on my studies．I believe under his strict control I can study better and go to one of the key universities．

I don't believe life is only made for studying．There are many meaningful things to do in life．Studying is one of them．So I will say no to the wolf father's educational style．Even if I don't enter a university as good as Peking or Tsinghua University, I would still be very happy because I would be going to a university as a person, not a learning machine．
