The volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people in recent years, especially among young people.

Volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and society. Take the Wenchuan Earthquake as an example. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers play an active role in Wenchuan quake-hit areas. And they contribute daily necessaries, offer medical help and psychological help to the disaster relief work.

Besides, volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers themselves~ Getting involved in volunteering, volunteers will be exposed to a new environment, and they can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve their interpersonal skills and organizational skills, all of which are critical for their professional growth.

As a college student, I sincerely hope that everyone would join the volunteering work. It is not only good to our society, but also a chance for us to grow and to learn.

初三英语学习，课上是比较重要的，像语法、翻译、答题技巧等主要就是通过课上习得的，所以一定要专心。同时，也要学会：根据自己的学习情况、薄弱板块、项目等来制定学习计划，然后去落实、提高。语法实在不行的同学建议去买本语法书攻克一下。

几点经验：在阅读中记忆单词是一种比较有效的记忆方法，不像纯粹的单词记忆乏味，同时记得更牢;在阅读时不要逐字逐句的翻译，也不要一句话反复阅读，即阅读时碰到一时不理解的句子就一遍一遍地沉浸在阅读那个句子当中，反复琢磨。其实完全没有必要，因为要选对答案并不意味着对原文的每个句子都要读懂，抓住一些重点句子就够了，正确的做法是，以理解整个段落和整篇文章为主，在涵盖出题点的句子上用心捉摸。写作是一个综合的东西，单词、语法、阅读都是基础，有了前面的积淀，写作就不是问题了。
