调休申请3. “Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You e how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to encourage others to take their first step towards becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first
step can be the biggest problem, becau they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone el in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.

4. When people talk to each other, write letters or make phone calls, words of the spoken form or the written form can nd any message they want to pass on.
But are there any other ways you can u to communicate with people? Yes. Rich expressions on your face can be one of them. A smile on your face shows that you are happy. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad or excited. Body languages can do the same job. When you put your hand up in class, the teacher knows that you want to say something or you may have some questions to ask. You shake your head from side to side and people know you are saying “no”. When you nod, people will understand that you are saying “yes” or agree to others’ opinions or suggestions.
Other forms can also carry different messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop gives pasngers instructions on which bus to take. The flag language made by soldiers can pass different orders. Sound from the school bell tells the students and teachers when to begin or end a class. A photographer can u the photos he has taken to tell others about what he thinks of the world around him. Music and films also convey（传递）the feelings and ideas of the musicians and the directions. So next time when you e a piece of art or listen to some music, take it as communication with its creator and try to get the meaning behind it.
