Volunteering has a positive effect on our community. It can benefit us in several ways. First of all, volunteering can help us learn more about society and gain valuable experience. Secondly, it provides us with a good opportunity to put what we have learned to good use.
I hope more and more students will join the voluntary club of our school. Let's express concern for the old and disabled people around us and offer a helping hand. Let's clean the parks near our home. Let's go to nursing homes to bring love to those in need.
Remember, we can make a difference to society if we are willing to lend a helping hand, so let's take action.
