I gain a lot of rewarding experiences from some social activities. Our local Community Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town. I have been a member for four years now and I’ve taken part in a lot of interesting projects, 1. include fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have organized sports competitions and we have even made a video.
But it isn’t all just enjoyment, we have also started doing social work to help people in our neighborhood. We 2.(organize) activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a special support group to help young people stop3.(smoke).
We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits4.the local old people’s home. My class spent an afternoon at a home and everyone found the visit very rewarding. The old people there were5.(talk) and they told us their personal stories 6.(cheer). During our visit, the home was filled with 7.(laugh). But we realized that life wasn’t always easy. Some of them were in poor health and were very8.(happy).
Many young people like me do not live with our grandparents and we have little contact with elderly people. As a result, many young people don’t know9. they are like. After this visit, my friends and I decided that we should do 10. to help improve the quality of their lives.
Follow the four tips to avoid the common mistakes that turn good roommate relationships sour:
You've heard it before:Communication is key.If something happens,sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation.I've seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and,instead of talking to each other,the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs.This method creates nothing but awkward situations and general unhappiness.
Some roommates become the best of friends,and some don't.don't'put pressure on yourself or your roommate to reach this level,especially when you first meet.Remember,you've trying to make a new friend,not scare your roommate away.And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend,don't worry about it.My first-year roommate and I didn't end up becoming best friends,but we are friends---and I couldn't have been happier with my roommate situation.
Everyone hates dirty places.If you make a mess,don't leave it for someone else to clean up.This should go without saying.Don't be a slob (懒汉).Make sure you do your fair share of dormitory chores,such as taking out the trash and recycling,and cleaning the washroom.Or,at last,just don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage and you should be all right.Most people I've encountered(遭遇)in college are messy.You don't have all the time in the world to clean your room and keep it organized.But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.
If you want to lose a friend,borrow everything without asking.If you want to keep the relationship going,show you roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first.Even if you both agree to share everything,you should still ask whenever you want to reach for snacks,clothes,supplies and anything else that you don't own.And upon moving into the dorm,you need to make clear which items you both feel comfortable sharing.
If you want a good roommate,you have to be a good roommate,Yes,there are exceptions.Sometimes being a good person and reaching out to your roommate simply isn't enough.Sometimes you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy or just isn't happy and doesn't want any sort of relationship.Whatever the case may be,the name of the game is always the same:respect.If you can't give it,you definitely don't deserve to get it.
