21、In October 2012, I joined an organization to be a volunteer to work in Thailand. When I arrived in Thailand, I thought I would be taken to an orphanage (孤儿院). However, I was told that I had to go to a place by train alone. And then I knew that my job was to teach English in a school instead of working at an orphanage.

The next day I went to the school and met the children I would teach. In the classroom, the children looked at me, saying nothing. No one could speak English. But from their eyes, I knew they were really nervous to learn English. It seemed like a big challenge for me, but that was just what I wanted.

Although I loved the children and the challenge, my life in Thailand was quite hard at first. I was alone and there was nobody I could talk to. However, I didn’t give up. If I had been afraid of difficulties, I wouldn’t have traveled all the way from England to Thailand to be a volunteer. Little by little, I learned some Thai and started to fall in love with Thailand. Every time I saw the children’s pleasure of learning English, I was happy and felt that what I was doing was really meaningful.

I began to work in a hospital in Thailand last month. If you also want to be a volunteer like me, don’t worry too much about the food or the place where you live. After all, as a volunteer, the most important thing is to help people who need help!

22、Andrea Bocelli is a famous Italian singer-songwriter. When he was born in 1958, Bocelli had poor eyesight. He lived on a farm in the small village with his family. At twelve years old, he became completely blind, when he was hit on the head while playing football. Bocelli does his best to ignore his blindness. He says, “Italy’s traditions, as well as my parents, have taught me never to accept life’s difficulties in passive (被动的) way, but rather to draw strength (力量) from them.”

Bocelli showed musical ability early in life. As young boy, Bocelli showed a great passion for music. His mother has said that music was the only thing that would comfort him. At the age of six, he started piano lessons, and later, also learned to play the saxophone, guitar and drums and so on. He won his first singing competition when he was twelve. He was discovered in 1992 by the Italian rock star Zucchero. Zucchero wrote a song and he wanted the famous opera singer Pavarotti to record it. But he had to look for a singer to make a demonstration tape of the song. Bocelli sang for him. Pavarotti heard the tape and thought that Bocelli sang as well as himself.

Bocelli became famous the following year, when he performed many concerts with Zucchero. In 1994, Bocelli recorded the first CD and made his first appearance in an opera, Macbeth. He began to try other kinds of music and became internationally known in 1996 when he recorded Time to Say Goodbye with singer Sarab Brightman.

Bocelli starred in many famous operas in 1998. He has also made many recordings of complete operas and selected songs from operas. Although Bocelli is certainly popular, some people say that his voice is not as strong or expressive as it should be. Because opera singers do not usually need microphones, but he uses them during performances.
