Because of COVID-19, fewer people in Thailand have been visiting zoos. The animals are getting a little lonely.

An 11-year-old girl has found a great way to cheer them up.

Seenlada Supat takes her keyboard（电子琴）to a zoo once a week to play popular songs for the animals. She dresses herself up as an alligator（鳄鱼）.“I’m playing music to the animals to help them feel relaxed. So they are not too lonely.” she said on May 26, 2021. For her, it’s also a way to practice before a group of audience（听众）. It is really a win-win on both sides.

Her audience are monkeys, hippos, zebras and many other animals. “We find that the animals are listening,” Tawin, the head of the zoo said. “Some become curious（好奇的）while others seem to be enjoying the music,” Once a monkey even jumped onto Seenlada’s keyboard. “▲       . It’s like he is playing music with me too,” the girl said.

Museums play a big role in our society. They serve as a window into the past and help us understand the present. Sichuan Science and Technology Museum offers different activities that help visitors learn about science and technology in a fun way. The museum has a volunteer program where volunteers can serve as tour guides and explain the exhibits (展览) to visitors.

As a volunteer, I had the chance to take part in this program and help visitors understand the science and technology behind the exhibits. During my time as a volunteer, I learned many things. Firstly, I learned the importance of communication when explaining exhibits to visitors. I had to use simple and understandable language to explain difficult scientific knowledge. Secondly, I learned the importance of patience and helpfulness. Some visitors may have a difficult time understanding some knowledge, so it was necessary to explain things again.

All in all, being a volunteer at Sichuan Science and Technology Museum was a meaningful experience. I am proud to be a volunteer at the museum.

Several years ago. Ed’s teacher asked him to take part in a volunteer activity. It brought normal children and disabled children together. Each week Ed spent an hour in the special school helping the disabled children with their schoolwork, games and eating. Ed’s mother was a teacher, so he often met a lot of children. At first, Ed thought it would be scary to be with children who were so different, but later he found there was something special with those children.

Every Wednesday, Tom, Susan and Anna couldn’t wait to see Ed. Tom had to sit on the wheelchair. He was only able to say some simple words like yes or no. Susan, a deaf girl, always welcomed Ed with a big smile. As for Anna, she was born with an illness, and it made her really small for her age. In a normal classroom, it would be common to stop children playing with something, speaking loudly or making noises. However, in that school, the teachers didn’t mind noises. They were signs of the children’s feelings.

Working with those children made Ed learn to notice others’ needs. One of Ed’s teachers said, “We should be part of something bigger than ourselves.” Ed never understood that until he worked with those children.
