READING

Schools often look for ways to help students learn outside the classroom. They believe that supporting communities and cooperating with other people can help students grow. Based on this idea, some schools ask students to join volunteer activities.

What are some good things about doing volunteer activities? These activities can help students develop a strong sense of responsibility. For example, they may need to arrive on time, complete tasks, and keep promises. In addition, students can meet people of different ages. By working with children, adults, or older people, they can learn how to communicate with many kinds of people.

However, volunteer activities also have some drawbacks. Taking part in them may reduce students' free time. Students may have less time for hobbies, rest, or their families. Another problem is that volunteer activities can cost money. Students may need to pay for transportation, special clothes, or materials needed for the activity.
