段子：

我要说最难忘的志愿者工作是去中国西北部的山区做一名教师志愿者。那里绝对是一个贫穷的地区。我仍然可以记得孩子们直接从水龙头里喝泥水,更不用说他们所吃的食物,而不是令人惊讶的是,许多孩子患营养不良。我在一个校园里教了一个月的数学,这段经历让我更加感激生活,而不是把事情视为理所当然。同时,我觉得社会需要我同时为社会贡献一份力量让我的生命更有使命感。基于这些原因,我觉得这件事是最令我难忘的。

I would say the memorable volunteer work that I did was to volunteer as ateacher in a mountainous region in the northwest of China. It is definitely apoverty stricken region. I can still remember that the kids drink muddy waterfrom right from the faucet, to say nothing about the food they eat, and notsurprisingly, many of the kids suffer from malnutrition. I taught math in acampus for a month, the experience makes me appreciate life more and not takethings for granted. Also, I feel like I am needed by the community and havingsomething to offer back to society gives my life a sense of purpose. Based onthese reasons, I find it most memorable.
