A Neighborhood Party

A neighborhood party is a great way to raise money for a charity, to celebrate a holiday, or to get to know the people in your neighborhood. There’s no better way to bring the community together than to throw a party!

Before you begin, you first need to find out where to have the party. Churches or community centers are often suitable for neighborhood events. If the weather is nice, many people prefer to have the party outside. It could be at a park or on a street that has been closed for you ahead of time.

Next, ask your friends and neighbors to help. Volunteers (志愿者) are important for making sure the party runs smoothly. Get plenty of people to help tell others about the party, set up the party, and clean up after the party. A volunteer can post fliers or pass out cards to people in the neighborhood.

During the party, be sure to have lots of things to do. Many parties feature activities for kids, such as relay race or face painting. At most parties, food and drinks are necessary.

The best parties are when everyone brings something to share. After all, that’s what being part of a neighborhood is about!

As the saying goes, “Helping others is helping ourselves.” Everyone needs help some time in life.

Today our head teacher Ms. Li led us to do some volunteer work in our school. She also led us to the City Park and the Children’s Hospital. It was my first time to be a volunteer. I was shy at first. Little by little, I became excited about helping others. I cleaned the benches and picked up litter in the City Park. At that time, I found people smiling at me. In the Children’s Hospital, I told some stories and jokes which made the children feel happy. At the end of the day, I felt quite tired but happy. If I have a chance to be a volunteer after I graduate from college, I would like to go to the countryside to teach children. I hope that I could do something for them.

Volunteering is a great job. It can not only help others but also bring us happiness and improve ourselves. Although it may be a small thing, it can also make a great difference to the world. So take action and be helpful.
