One rainy afternoon, I had nothing to do at home and felt very bored. "Why not volunteer to meet people and try something new?" I thought. So I turned on my computer and on a website (网 站 ), I 1 a farm in France that wanted some volunteers for a month. It was summer holiday, so I2 go. I sent them an e-mail, and soon I was working there.
On the farm, I 3 fifteen horses and sheep! I soon found I was a terrible "father" but I was 4 happy that I made some great friends and also improved my French. In fact, you needn't go to other countries to 5 . I've had lots of volunteer experiences at home too.
It is true that helping others makes us feel good but volunteering can6 other good things, too. I once volunteered in a clothes shop so I could fill my wardrobe (衣橱)7 lots of nice cheap clothes.
Volunteering is really fun, 8 my favorite part of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My 9 on the farm gave me many funny stories to tell. Talking to volunteers from different countries also helped me 10 more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people because of volunteering!
