11."Volunteering makes you look at the world differently.You see 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 (機會) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer.Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem,because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations (期望).Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group.Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities. The following tips can help if you have some of these worries. ★ Start out slowly,don't add too much pressure.Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life. ★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values. ★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers,even if it is not asked. ★ Work with aveteranvolunteer.He volunteered a lot,he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations. ★ Invite a friend or family member to serve.It is a good experience to volunteer with them. ★ Finally,it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect.If one experience doesn't work,don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity. Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives.As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, "…little things can change a person's life."

13.You can travel alone,with friends,or with a tour group.They all have strong points and weak points. The best thing about traveling alone is that you can do what you want.No waiting around in places you aren't interested in,no missing a bus because your friend was late,etc.This may sound selfish,but this is your experience.Your experience will be rich by traveling alone.The main worry of traveling alone is loneliness,and there's also the problem of safety,especially in some dangerous places. Traveling with a friend sounds nice,but it depends on how well you get on.If you have similar (相似的) interests or travel ideas,it should be wonderful.You will find it much cheaper to share a room and food.However,a lot of people I meet traveling together don't seem to have much fun and often go their separate (各自的) ways. Some of my best travelling memories are with tour groups.The key is the tours go well.Remember,a terrible tour guide (導游),quiet group and terrible food can ruin (毀掉) your time.My advice is never to take part in a group tour that is too long except in countries with safety problems or poor traffic. All in all,traveling alone is the best,but it is good to try different ways.Invite a friend from home to meet you for a few weeks.Try one or two group tours,and it's best to start with a one-day one.
