答案 On Being Volunteers With China becoming increasingly prosperous by the day, large-scale events such as world expositions and sports games frequent this hot land, virtually all of which are thirsty for a large number of volunteers. Apart from gaining some working and social experiences, the realistic advantages to serving as a volunteer are also obvious. Volunteers for the World Expo in Shanghai, for instance, may visit any pavilion after work, which makes them the envy of billions of queuers; likewise, volunteers of Beijing Olympics got allowances, quality uniforms, free riding of bus and metro, etc. More beneficially, their experience may add luster to their resume in job-hunting. But as the saying goes, "A penny has two sides. " The disadvantages to being volunteers are also elephants in the room. Doing voluntary jobs is undoubtedly time-consuming, and to those students, the majority of volunteers, the sacrifice is not only time but their school work. Besides, longtime exposure to various unexpected weather may do great harm to their health. But anyway, if I have a chance to be a volunteer, I am sure to try my utmost, because during the course, I will learn how to carry out better team work and how to cope with emergencies, etc. , thus I will mature sooner than otherwise.
解析     这是一篇以分析某现象的利弊为主的说明文。
    第一段用一句话说明了现在很多大型活动频频在中国举办(with引导的短语简要指出原因：中国日益繁荣)，它们都需要志愿者这一现象。其中语言亮点有increasingly修饰形容词prosperous，表示“越来越”；by the day表示“日益”；large-scale events表示“大规模的活动”；frequent作动词，表示“频频发生”；virtually修饰all，表示“几乎”；of which介词+关系代词，引导定语从句，使句型出现变化；be thirsty for使用了拟人的手法，表达“迫切需要”。
    第二段分析了做志愿者的利弊。第一句以Apart from开头，引出了两个“利”——获得工作、社会经验以及一些现实性的好处，随后举了北京奥运会和上海世博会作为后者的例证(likewise自然地把两个例子衔接到了一起)，并用More beneficially说明前者对找工作更有帮助。在转折到“弊”时，用了谚语(But as the saying goes, "A penny, has two sides.")，而成语elephants in the room表示“明显的”，也是闪光用词。Besides连接了两个弊端——耗费时间、影响健康。
    最后一段表明了自己的态度——如果有机会，将竭尽全力做好志愿者，同时简要说明了理由：学会合作和应急以便更快地成熟起来。开头的But anyway“但不管怎样(尽管有上述的弊端)”属于过渡词，把第二段和第三段自然衔接到了一起。
