答案                         The Benefits for Volunteering
    As an international metropolis, Beijing is the venue for various kinds of international meetings and events. When such conventions take place, college volunteers are involved to provide language service, coordination and other services. They gain a lot from volunteering. Indeed, volunteering does a lot of good to us.
    To begin with, by taking part in volunteer work, we can apply our knowledge and skills acquired in college to practice. In this way, we are given the opportunity to see if we have got a good command of the knowledge. This is especially true for us who major in foreign languages, for face to face communication with foreigners is the touchstone for our linguistic competence.
    What’s more, we can also gain experience from hosting meetings and obtain team work spirit. As is known, the success of the meetings or activities lies in the concerted efforts of both the organizers and volunteers. So through personal participation, we can realize the significance of team work spirit and gain the experience which is beneficial for us in future job application and career development.
    Finally, volunteering also benefits us both psychologically and physically. Being able to help others simply makes us feel good, providing us with a sense of spiritual fulfillment which helps to reduce stress.
    As is discussed above, volunteering can benefit us a lot in many aspects. We should actively apply for volunteering service to the community and the society.

解析     本题是一个给定观点型题目。要求考生论述参加志愿者工作的益处。随着志愿者事业日益受到关注,越来越多的人加入到志愿者行列。尤其是2008年中国举办奥运会期间,奥运志愿者也成为当时的一道风景,选择这个话题进行考查紧扣时事热点。写作时要注意两点:一是题目中已经限定了范围,要讨论的是参加志愿者工作的益处,如果谈论其坏处或者优劣并举都属于偏题;二是要讨论的是你能从志愿者工作中收获什么。对于这种题目,首先可以提出志愿者工作的有关话题,并指出参加志愿者工作是有益的;接着重点阐述参加志愿者工作的益处,比如能够学以致用,开阔眼界,在实践中获得锻炼,能够培养团队精神,增强社会交际能力,能够为社会和国家做出贡献,能够培养人的高尚情操,等等;最后总结全文,重申参加志愿者工作有益的观点。
