目前，一种新的时尚正在美国社会流行——当志愿者。据报道，每年约有一亿零九百万名美国人担任志愿者，占美国成年人的56%。大多数人每周当志愿者约三个半小时。志愿者或做家教，教小孩子阅读、算术，或打扫公园与街道，或到医院或疗养院帮忙。

你愿意做志愿者吗？请陈述理由。

Answer 1

I would like to be a volunteer in my spare time. My reasons are as follows:

    First of all, it is a good virtue to help others, even in modern society. We all need others’ help in case we get into trouble. Secondly, we are able to better ourselves by helping others because we gain valuable experience and build up our confidence while serving others. What’s more, volunteering makes us feel better about ourselves, thus making our life more enjoyable. More importantly, we can make the world a better place to live in by volunteering to improve it.  

In summary, volunteering can make a difference to our life, so I think it is very rewarding to be a volunteer.
