Sorry I haven’t written to you for a long time. I was lucky to be a volunteer in the Olympic Games. I’ve learned a lot from the volunteer work.
Before the Olympic Games, all of us received special training. Under the guidance of the trainer, we got to know what jobs we could do and what we should pay attention to.
During the Games, some of us stood outside the stadium, guiding the audience to go into the Bird’s Nest with loudspeakers. Some worked at the information center and offered all kinds of help. Others acted as tour guides and took foreigners to some places of interest, such as the Great Wall and the Summer Palace, which helped them to get a better understanding of Chinese culture.
Being a volunteer was a valuable experience for me. Not only did I help others, but also I made many friends. Besides, I felt I could do something for our country.
The 2012 Olympic Games will be held in London. Would you like to be a volunteer as well? Please tell me your plan in your next letter.
