Every Friday and Saturday, we spent a few hours picking up trash. We started early each morning. The team leaders gave us gloves, trash bags, and special grabbers to pick up the trash. Some volunteers were students like me, and others were families or local people. Each weekend, we cleaned the beach and along the shore. I couldn't believe how much trash we found. There were bottles, cans, old shoes, and lots of plastic! I felt very proud to be part of the volunteer team, and pleased that we were helping to keep our beach clean. Nadia, Egypt Last summer, a group of students from my class volunteered at a community garden. We volunteered three days a week for a month. We looked after the vegetables and fruit trees, and we tidied the garden to keep the plants healthy. It was a hot summer so we watered the garden to keep the soil wet. When the vegetables were ready to pick, we put them in boxes and took them to families and old people in the community. I really enjoyed helping people in this way. I learned a lot about gardening and how to grow vegetables without using harmful products. I can't wait to visit the garden again next year. Ben, United States Last week, I volunteered at a day care center for children where my aunt Mary works. I love children so I was excited. I arrived early in the morning and met the people who work there. First, I helped set up toys and games to play with the children. We built towers with bricks and we played in the toy kitchen. Then, we sang some songs and drew colorful pictures. At the end of the day, I read the children a story which they loved. Then, I helped clean up the playroom and I said goodbye. I was very tired, but I felt happy. I learned a lot about child care and I'm going to volunteer there again! Maggie, UK 2 Read the posts again.

Writing 1 Read Nesma's reflective journal entry and circle T (true) or F (false). Today, I spent the afternoon with Donia. Donia is my older sister who loves sport. So today, she was teaching me how to play table tennis. I was really excited because it looks fun and I wanted to learn. First, Donía showed me how to hold the bat in my right hand. Then, she showed me how to throw the ball into the air with my left hand and hit it with my bat. At first, I couldn't hit the ball. If I hit the ball, it went into the net. I was really upset but Donia told me to keep trying. She was very kind and she didn't get angry. She kept showing me what to do. After a while, I actually hit the ball over the net! I was so pleased! I practiced again and I got better. Then Donia said "OK, I'll hit the ball to you and now you hit it back to me." After a while, we were hitting the ball to each other. I missed the ball sometimes but it was fine. In the end, I could play a game. Donia won the game of course but that didn't matter.
