If you want to be a volunteer, you have to answer the following questions. Do you want to work with people, animals or machines (机器)? Do you want to work indoors or outdoors, directly (直接地) serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? Every year, thousands of people in the West offer (提供) volunteer service.

Volunteers usually help in many different ways.
They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age), tell kids about healthy lifestyle, work as helpers in schools or nursing homes, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things.

You don’t need to speak French to understand the Parisians (people living in Paris). You just need to know how to make gestures (手势). A new guide has come out by French tourism (旅游业) officials, which is to help foreign visitors understand Parisians with a list of common gestures like “shut up” and “wait a minute”. These gestures are easy and vivid (生动的). “If you use them the next time when you’re in Paris, people will start mistaking（误认）you for a native in no time,” says the online guide at www.cestsoparis.com.
Some of the city’s rude native people in Paris have been a headache for the tourism authorities (旅游当局) for a long time. They have tried their best to ask Parisians to be friendlier to foreign visitors. At the same time, they have decided to show visitors commonly used gestures by Parisians at www.cestsoparis.com. Visitors can learn and get help from there.
The website includes the common gestures such as “Bof” and “Camembert”. “Bof” is used to mean “I don’t know” or “I disagree”, and “Camembert” is to tell someone to shut up.
And it also includes a note. It warns visitors not to use the gestures too freely. Otherwise, they may see some even ruder Parisian expressions.

There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Crane Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering（提供）food and home for some special kinds of animals is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize that we should protect the wetlands as soon as possible. Every year, on February 2nd, people have many activities to tell other people more about wetlands.
