Dear grandfather:

How are you?

I am writing to invite you to join us, in the next year, to be a volunteer in the great event, which is to hold in Shanghai. We, a generation born in the 90s in our city, have made a team to do the volunteer work. And you are welcomed by all our team members awing to your great amount of knowledge about Chinese traditions and culture. Please don’t tell me you are too old to do this job. I believe you are sure to accept my invitation after reading my following explanation of the importance of the volunteer work.

Nowadays, volunteer work, which has raised public interest and concern, is becoming more and more popular throughout the world. As is known to all, volunteer work is not only meaningful but also necessary.  what’s more, it’s interesting and pleasant! It help us develop ourselves .

Firstly, for individuals, especially those young, to do volunteer work is an available way to going social experience. By doing volunteer work, they can meet various people and they may run across all kinds of troubles. They however, can become mature and determined by solving these problems. You know, no pains, no gains. Also, individuals will realize that they do make a difference in someone else’s life, even the whole event, the world!

For families, if you’re the side that received the help of the volunteers, of course your issue will be more easily dealt with. If you’re the side who give others your hand, you will realize there exists no better way to educate your children because you’ll get the best present – smile deeply from one’s heart, in the whole world.

It is a great chance for all members getting closer to each other in communities by taking part in volunteer work. Their team spirits, their co-operation will be great improved. So, why not?
