F. 1 Voluntary Work-- Visiting an elderly centre
Recently, my classmates and I went to do some charity work, that is visiting a home for the elderly. It was only a short bus trip there.

   When we arrived, the place was quiet and there was not much happiness. We greeted the elderly bravely and tried to create a good atmosphere. Before the first game started, we first played the “Towel exercise”. We had to follow the instruction of the social worker and imitate her movements. Afterwards, she moved faster and faster. We had a lot of fun doing this exercise. The second game was called “Guess the next number”. The social worker drew a number card and we had to guess if the next number she drew would be bigger or smaller than the original one. A small gift would be given if we made a correct guess.

     This was a great experience for me to learn how to get along with the elderly. I will remember this activity as it was very memorable and found the elderly to be lovely. .
