Volunteers
① Volunteers are people who work without being paid.They do the work because they want to. We need volunteers because there are many things that need to be done in society which the Government can’t afford to pay for.
② Volunteers are motivated by a desire to help others and to make the world a better place. Statistics suggest that more than one million people do voluntary work in New Zealand. Some volunteers do the kind of work that they are particularly interested in,but perhaps haven’t had the chance to do during their working lives. Others make use of their professional skills and experience.
③ Volunteers contribute to society in a number of ways. For example, some give their time to help preserve the natural environment. While there are government-run projects to maintain national parks and forests,the projects would not succeed without volunteers. Some environmental organizations rely solely on voluntary labor.
④ "Meals on Wheels" is a voluntary organization run by the Red Cross. It delivers meals to elderly people who are unable to cook for themselves. Every year volunteer drivers deliver a million meals. This enables elderly people to remain in their own houses.
⑤ Volunteer Service Abroad was started in 1962. It sends volunteers to poor countries. To be a volunteer you should be between the ages of 25 and 77,of good health and have a skill or ability that is requested by the country. Volunteers spend two years helping the local people improve their lives. Two years is a long time,but when they return,many volunteers say: It was the best two years of my life.

【文章大意】志愿者
志愿者是无偿工作的人。他们做这项工作是因为他们想做。我们需要志愿者,因为社会上有很多需要做的事情,而政府负担不起。
志愿者的动机是帮助他人,让世界变得更美好。统计数据表明,超过 100 万人在新西兰从事志愿工作。一些志愿者做他们特别感兴趣,但可能在他们的工作生涯中没有机会做的事情。其他人则利用他们的专业技能和经验。
志愿者通过多种方式为社会做出贡献。例如,有些人花时间帮助保护自然环境。虽然有政府运营的项目来维护国家公园和森林,但如果没有志愿者,这些项目就不会成功。一些环保组织完全依赖志愿劳动。
“送餐”是红十字会运营的志愿组织。它为无法自己做饭的老人送餐。每年志愿司机送餐一百万份。这使老年人能够留在自己的房子里。
海外志愿服务始于1962年,向贫困国家派遣志愿者。志愿者年龄在25-77周岁之间,身体健康,具备国家要求的技能或能力。志愿者花了两年时间帮助当地人民改善生活。两年是很长的时间,但是当他们回来时,很多志愿者说:这是我生命中最美好的两年。
