my experience as a volunteer大学英语四级作文

Answer 1

 
Dear everyone，

Today, I’d like to share with you my past experience of being a volunteer. Although Shanghai World Expo has already drawn its curtain successfully in our city, the spirit of being a volunteer is still here to stay with every one of us.

In my eyes, the real meaning of voluntary spirit lies in the unselfish devotion of time and energy to helping others.

Here I want to give a simple example of how I realized this voluntary spirit myself. It was during the just past summer vacation that I served in the Shanghai Museum for the Anti-drug Scientific Educational Campaign. My duty was to showcase the harms of taking drugs to visitors. Meanwhile, I showed people around separate galleries to teach them the basic knowledge about how to forbid drugs in our daily life. The harm is everywhere actually. For instance, it will bring huge financial losses and psychological problems to the drug user himself, as well as to his family, work, health and even the whole society at large. Every year, it`s estimated that nearly 27 billion RMB is spent in drug-dealing in China! But the most dangerous thing is that once you get addicted to drugs, you can hardly get rid of them.

Although sometimes I felt exhausted during the process, I think it is worthwhile. Since I was not only helping people to get more idea about drug prohibition, but also I helped myself. I realized that I could bring more positive impact on this society within my limited capacities, and how important it is to spread love and care to this cold society. Audrey Hepburn once said:Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

And that`s what I think best manifests the spirit of being a volunteer.

Thanks for your listening
