我是上海燎原国际高中十年级三班的学生常欢，很荣幸能有这个机会和大家分享关于社区服务这门选修课的体验。

I’m Evelyn from class three grade ten, it’s my great honor to have the chance to share my experience in the community service elective with you.

选择选修课时，我对社区服务要做些什么其实并不太清楚。在这之前，我曾有幸在养老院当过几次志愿者，也十分享受陪伴老人聊天的时光。因此，我最终还是决定选择这门选修课，想着或许还有机会去做类似的事。

When I was selecting the electives, I was not so sure about what would we do in this elective. I have been served in a nursing home for several times before, and I really enjoyed the time in accompanying those old people and chatting with them. Thus, I finally decided to choose this elective and thought about that maybe I can have some other chances to do these kind of similar things.

当听说我们要给小学部的孩子们当助教时，我心里是有些紧张的。我已经许久没有和小孩子相处过了，也不太确定自己是否能够和他们打成一片或是真正帮助到他们。但对他们来说，我不仅是大姐姐，更是他们生活中的榜样，所以我们要在自己的言行举止上多加注意。真的开始有了接触，我才发现和小孩子交朋友其实很简单。

I was a little nervous when I heard that we were going to be the teaching assistant for those kids in the primary school. I haven't been with such young kids for a long time, I was not sure whether I can be part of them and help them at all. To them, I'm not only an elder sister, but also their model in life. We need to be careful about our behavior and the way we speak. I found it was easy to make friends with them when I really start to get along with them.

**个学期，我帮孩子们一起给图片上色。我发现大部分女生在上色时都很小心，相比起来男生普遍有些草率。有一个男孩每次都会寻求我的帮助，我们很快便成了好朋友。每当他**了一些新歌，总会在**时间唱给我听，还会在上色时给我讲一些学校里发生的趣事。我们配合默契，画出了不少令人满意的作品。

In the first semester, I helped those kids coloring pictures through the elective. I found that most of the girls color the pictures really carefully, but the boys are usually cursory. There was a boy who asked me for help every time, and we suddenly became good friends. If he learned some new songs, he would sang for me at once, and he usually told me some interesting things while coloring. We cooperated well, and always had some satisfying paintings.

这个学期，我被分配去帮助孩子们完成作业。有一些孩子在我们到来之后开始变得懒惰，自己不愿意动脑子，经常跑来向我们求助。因此，我尝试着引导他们独立思考和解决，而不是直接告诉他们方法和答案。

In this semester, I am allotted to help kids finishing their homework. Some of them start to be lazy and ask us for help very often.Thus, I tried to lead them thinking about the questions by themselves and solve them instead of just telling them the solutions.

社区服务这门选修课，从某种意义上说是一项公益活动，它**我善待他人，奉献爱心;也促使我越发成熟地去思考，如何在最合适的时间向需要帮助的人伸出援助之手。这样的生命教育，也正是燎原学子走向贤善人格的光明之路。

Community service is a public welfare activity in sense. It taught me to be kind to others and devote my love, and also made me think more maturely, how to lend a helping hand to people in need at the most appropriate time. Such life education, is the light path for our Liaoyuan students towards good personality.
