　　这个题目是近期出的新题，看上去很吓人，其实也不难，学生的话可以讲讲学校的团体，工作的话就讲讲某个单位，比如说我就可以讲新东方喽。或者讲讲一些慈善机构、基金会、志愿者团体等。范文中讲的是学校的青年志愿者联盟。

　　I joined the Youth Volunteer Association (YVA) of my university when I was a junior. I havebenefited a lot from that experience.

　　There are many student organizations in my university. At the beginning of every newsemester, there is a big day for all those clubs and associations to recruit. I joined the YVA becauseI wanted to help others. To my understanding, just like what I said at the recruitment interview,being a volunteer means to take out my personal time to do something for others.

　　My first volunteering experience was to give English lessons to residents from aneighourhood. Due to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more people are willing to learn some basicEnglish. I major in English, so I think maybe I could help these people with my expertise. We did itevery weekend and kept doing it for almost three months. I not only gave lessons to people, moreimportantly, I communicated with them. Many of them are older than me. They come from allwalks of life. They brought to class different life stories. I exchanged my school experiences withtheir social experiences. Sharing with them has added to my insight into the world I am living in,which was a good thing for someone like me who did not have much access to the real worldoutside school campus.

　　My association offers the young good chance to be helpful, to get to know more people, tolearn something that’s not written on the text book.
