答案 The Benefits of Volunteering Nowadays, an increasing number of people are willing to serve as volunteers, especially the university students in that they consider it helpful not only to our society, but also to themselves in many aspects. First of all, there is no doubt that volunteering makes contributions to our society. Through volunteer work, people can improve basic health and education, reduce environmental issues, and combat social exclusion. Take volunteer teachers for example, not a few college students go to rural areas to work as volunteer teachers. Although most of them do not stay there for a long period, they make a huge difference to the local area, especially the students there. Those volunteers show a different way of living and thinking which could be impressive for local people. Moreover, they are the bridge linking two different groups of people. In this case, volunteers not only improve basic education, but also help combat social exclusion. Apart from that, it is not rare to find volunteers participate in environmental protection activities in their spare time. Usually, they can learn basic knowledge about how to protect the environment and they have the opportunities to put the knowledge into practice. Secondly, serving as a volunteer is also beneficial to the volunteers themselves. Basically, volunteering provides an opportunity for caregivers to increase their social engagement. During volunteering, volunteers are surrounded by people with a common interest. And those volunteers are more likely to make friends with each other. In addition to this, volunteering teaches valuable skills. Volunteers who work in the nursery house can learn basic massage skills; those in the primary school can learn teaching skills. More importantly, volunteers can develop interpersonal skills which is important and useful in many respects. Besides that, helping others gives volunteers a good feeling inside, something that researchers call a "helpers high". Although it seems that people in need get help from volunteers, it is those caregivers that actually benefit the most when they help others. To sum up, volunteering not only helps to tackle social problems, such as educational inequality and environmental issues, but also benefits volunteers by providing them with opportunities to meet new friends and learn new skills. It is a win-win situation. And I believe that the world would definitely be a better place to live in if there are more volunteers.
