Question

If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?

Don’t listen to people who say that young people today often think only of themselves. It’s not true at all. More and more young people in the USA volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don’t do it for money. Here are some of their stories.

Alice Hamilton, 17 ??? I’m going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths(小道) in the mountains. It’s going to be terrific(棒極了). I will spend the whole summer living in a tent(帳篷) and breathing the fresh mountain air. I’m going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I will be able to do something good at the same time!

Jason Moore, 18 ??? This summer, I’ll volunteer with Special House Program. They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to the poor. They’ll teach me what to do, so I am going to help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.

Trish Anderson, 16 ??? I’m going to teach children who have trouble in reading. I’ll work for a program called Reading For Life. Every day, I’m going to help children choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me.
