Volunteer for the chiidren

All Saturadays of April, I went to Hou Zaimen community with my classmates in a group of four to taught students there for 10 hours. The students were the children that lived in this community.

The duties for us to do was to help the students with their homework and to teach them some new things. Each person usually taught one child at once. I have taught five girls for five times, each of them are from different grades in primary school. They usually ask me questions about English and Maths.

The most interesting girl I have taught was a lovely girl in grade 2, she wanted me to taught her English. She said she can't read the new words and the sentences so I read first and let her follow me. She could read it very clearly, but after 30 minutes, I found a problem, If I let her read the sentence by herself, she always forgot how to read it. That's made me repeat the sentences again and again.After she could read it by herself, I also felt very tired and thirsty.

Some children put chinese under the sentence to help them read it but It isn't the meaning of these sentence but the homophony of these sentence. It was a bad way to learn English, I helped them erase these Chinese and told them the ture way of learning English. I remembered that when I was a Primary school student, my teacher also taught me too, because at that time I did this wrong thing at the beginning of studying English too.

I think this kind of volunteer is meaningful for us, it can told us every work is difficult espeacilly teachers, because teach someone who doesn't know anything must be a hard work, they need to explain one thing by themslf in a different way and they need to do more homework than you.

When you feel tired, think about the teacher!
