Read and do the tasks on the
text: Volunteering
Volunteering a few hours each week to some community activity is an important way of investing in
the future of our society. I chose to spend my time working with elementary school children
helping them to learn to read. Developing good reading skills will help these students keep up with
their classmates, open new worlds to them, and help them succeed in life.
Students who are not good readers cannot keep up with their studies. They will not understand the
lessons; they will come to school unprepared; they will not be able to perform. By learning to read,
students will be on equal footing with their classmates. They will be active participants in class.
Books on different lifestyles, occupations, cultures, or governments will open new doors to
students. Students who cannot read will only know what they see around them. Students who can
read will be able to travel to new worlds and experience new ideas without ever leaving their
classrooms. Today, a person who cannot read is severely handicapped. A non-reader will have to
work at the most menial jobs. Readers, especially good readers, have the whole universe open to
them. They will have the possibility to learn any job that interests them.
By volunteering to help an elementary school child learn to read, I am helping him or her not only
today, but also for the rest of his or her life. I am helping them keep pace with their peers and
explore the world and themselves through books.
