八年级下册英语u2作文志愿者全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Volunteering is super cool! I recently joined the volunteering club at school and it has been an awesome experience. In our English class, we learned all about volunteering in Unit 2 and it got me super excited to help others in need.The first time I volunteered was at a local animal shelter. I got to help walk the dogs, feed the cats, and clean out the cages. It was so much fun playing with all the animals and knowing that I was making a difference in their lives. The best part was seeing the smile on the animals' faces when they got some love and attention.Next, I volunteered at a homeless shelter. We helped serve food to the people in need and it was such a rewarding experience. I got to talk to some of the people there and hear their stories. It made me realize how lucky I am to have a home and a warm meal every day.I also volunteered at a beach clean-up event. We picked up trash and helped keep our environment clean. It felt good toknow that I was helping to protect the ocean and the animals that live in it.Volunteering has taught me so much and I can't wait to do more in the future. It feels amazing to give back to my community and make a positive impact in the world. I encourage everyone to try volunteering, you'll be surprised at how much joy and fulfillment it can bring!篇2Title: My Experience as a VolunteerHey guys, it's me! Today I want to talk about something super cool - being a volunteer! I know some of you might think it's just for adults, but guess what, even us kids can make a difference too!So, a few weeks ago, my school organized a volunteer program and I was super excited to join. We went to a local orphanage to spend time with the kids there. Let me tell you, it was an amazing experience! The kids were so happy to see us and we played games, sang songs, and even helped them with their homework.I also volunteered at a soup kitchen with my family. It was eye-opening to see how many people are in need of food and how a simple meal can make a big difference in someone's day. I felt really proud to be able to help out.Being a volunteer is not only about helping others, but also about learning and growing ourselves. I met so many different people and heard their stories, which made me realize how lucky I am.I think being a volunteer is a great way for us kids to be kind and make the world a better place. I can't wait to do more volunteering in the future and I hope you guys will join me too! Let's make a difference together!篇3Being a volunteer is super cool! In English class, we learned about volunteers and how they help people in need. I think it's important to give back to the community and make a difference in someone's life.I want to share with you all about my experience as a volunteer. Last month, I joined a volunteering program at a local animal shelter. I love animals so much, and I was excited to help take care of them. My job was to feed the dogs and cats, cleantheir cages, and play with them. It was hard work, but it was also so much fun!One of the dogs at the shelter, Max, had been there for a long time. He was so sweet and friendly, but no one had adopted him yet. I spent a lot of time with Max, taking him for walks and playing fetch with him. I knew he deserved a loving home, and I was determined to help him find one.After a few weeks of volunteering, I was thrilled to hear that Max had finally been adopted! I was so happy for him, and I knew that I had made a difference in his life. It felt amazing to know that my small actions had helped a furry friend find a forever home.Being a volunteer has taught me so much about kindness, compassion, and the power of giving back. I can't wait to continue volunteering and making a positive impact in the world.I hope you all consider becoming volunteers too - it's a truly rewarding experience!篇4Hey guys! Today I wanna talk to you about volunteers. Volunteers are super important people who help out in the community and make a big difference in the world. In our Englishtextbook for Grade 8 Unit 2, we learned a lot about volunteering and how it can be so cool!There are many ways we can volunteer. Some people like to volunteer at animal shelters, helping to take care of cute little animals. Others like to volunteer at hospitals, helping sick people feel better. There are also volunteers who clean up parks and beaches to keep our planet clean and safe.I think being a volunteer is awesome because you get to meet new friends, learn new skills, and make the world a better place. Plus, it’s so cool to know that you’re helping others and making a difference in someone’s life. Being a volunteer can be hard work sometimes, but it’s totally worth it!I want to be a volunteer too when I grow up. I want to help kids who don’t have toys or books to play with. I think it would be so much fun to organize games and activities for them. It would make me happy to see them smiling and having a good time.So, let’s all try to be volunteers and make the world a better place together! We can start by helping out in our own community and then maybe even volunteer in other countries. Let’s show everyone how awesome it is to be a volunteer!篇5Hello everyone, I want to talk about something really cool today - being a volunteer! In our English textbook, there's a unit all about volunteering, and I think it's super important to help others in need.First of all, volunteering is a great way to make friends and have fun. You get to meet new people who also want to help out, and together you can do some really awesome things like clean up the park or visit elderly people in a nursing home.Secondly, volunteering is a chance to learn new skills and gain valuable experience. You might learn how to organize events, communicate with different people, or problem solve in a team. These are all things that will help you in the future, whether it's in school, in your job, or just in your everyday life.Another reason why volunteering is so important is because it makes a real difference in the world. You can help to protect the environment, support people in need, or promote important causes like education or health. Even though you might think that one person can't make a big impact, when we all come together and volunteer, we can create positive change in our communities.So, if you have the chance to be a volunteer, go for it! It's a great way to have fun, learn new things, and make a difference in the world. Let's all work together to make the world a better place!篇6Title: My Experience as a VolunteerHey guys! Today I want to share with you all about my experience as a volunteer. Last month, my school organized a volunteering activity and I decided to join in because I wanted to help others and make a difference.As a volunteer, I had the chance to visit an orphanage and spent time with the kids there. It was such a heartwarming experience to see their smiles and hear their laughter. We played games, read stories, and even did some art and craft activities together. I also helped the staff with some chores like cleaning and organizing the children's belongings.I also had the opportunity to volunteer at a local food bank where we sorted and packed food items for those in need. It was a humbling experience to see how much need there is in our community and how we can make a difference by giving our time to help out.One of the most rewarding parts of being a volunteer was meeting new people and making new friends. I got to work with my classmates and other students from different grades, and we all worked together as a team to make a difference in the lives of others. It was truly inspiring to see the power of unity and kindness.Overall, being a volunteer has taught me the importance of giving back to the community and helping those in need. I feel grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact, and I can't wait to continue volunteering in the future. I encourage all of you to get involved in volunteering activities, as it is truly a rewarding experience that will make a difference in the world. Thanks for listening!。

General(A)According to popular folk tales, many animals are smarter than they appear．Dogs bark before earthquakes; cattle predict rainfall by sitting on the ground．But cattle may have another hidden talent of being able to tell which direction is north．Small animals including birds are known to use the Earth's magnetic fields in migration, like a natural GPS(Global Position System)．Dr．Begall and her colleagues wanted to know whether larger animals also have this magnetic sense．They investigated this possibility by studying images of 8,510 grazing(吃草)and resting cattle in 308 plains across the globe on Google Earth, a website that puts together satellite photographs to produce an image of the Earth's surface．Grazing animals are known to orient themselves in a way that minimizes wind cold from the north and maximizes the warmth of the sun when they are cold．The study ruled out the possibility that the sun position or wind direction were major influences on the orientation of the cattle．Theresearchers therefore had to study a lot of cows grazing in lots of different places at different times of day, in order to average out these factors and see whether cattle could act like compass needles．The researchers concluded that cattle do generally orient themselves in a north-south direction．This north-south preference has also been noted in flies and honeybees．But unfortunately, even the high resolution of Google Earth is not powerful enough to tell which end of the cow is its head, and which its tail．The researchers were therefore unable to answer their research questions of whether cattle prefer to look north or south, and whether that differs in the northern and southern hemisphere．46. What is the article mainly about?A. The usefulness of Google Earth.B. Whether cattle are superior to other animals.C. Animals’ sensitivity to natural disasters.D, Whether cattle behave like compass needles.47.Which of the following factors might affect Dr.Begall’s research result?A.Rainfall.B. EarthquakesC. LocationD. Cost48.What is the major finding of Dr.Begall’s study?A.Cattle point north-south.B.Magnetism can’t be studied scientificallyC.Animals prefer to look south.D.Google Earth is a reliable research tool.49.Why couldn’t the researchers get the answer to their research question?A.Many cattle in their study were sitting on the groundB.The cattle constantly change directions to avoid wind chill.C.There is magnetic difference between the two hemispheres.D.They couldn’t tell a cow’s head from its tail in the satellite pictures(B)Astronauts often work 16 hours a day on the space shuttle in order to complete all the projects set out for the mission. From space, astronauts study the geography, pollution, and weather patterns on Earth. They take many photographs to record their observations. Also, astronauts conduct experiments on the shuttle to learn how space conditions, such as microgravity, affect humans, animals, plants, and insects. Besides working, regular exercise is essential to keep the astronauts healthy in microgravity.Astronauts sometimes go outside the shuttle to work. They are protected by a space suit from the radiation of the sun. Meanwhile, the space suit provides necessary oxygen supply and keeps the astronauts from feeling the extreme heat or cold outside the shuttle.When the mission is over, the crew members get ready to return to Earth. the shuttle does notuse its engines for a landing. It glides through the atmosphere. When the shuttle touches the land, a drag parachute opens to steady the aircraft, get the speed right, and help the brakes on the landing-gear wheels to bring it to a complete stop.50.The passage is mainly about______A. how astronauts fly the space shuttleB. how a space mission is completedC. how a space shuttle is constructedD. how far astronauts travel in space.51.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The astronauts need a space suit to work outside the shuttle.B. The astronauts keep themselves warm in a space suit.C. The astronauts need a space suit to survive in space.D. The astronauts can hardly breathe in a space suit.52.A parachute need to be opened because it can_____.A show down the shuttleB. stop the shuttle from fallingC. make the shuttle get closer to EarthD. help the shuttle glide through the atmosphere.(C)Jet lag，caused by traveling between time zones，is becoming a common problem for frequent travelers：for 49 percent it is only a nuisance and for 45 percent it is a real problem. It is caused by disruption（混乱）to the internal biological clock，and may lead to digestive problems，tiredness，and sleep disruption.Generally speaking，our biological clock is slightly disturbed if we just move into the next time zone，but jet lag becomes a problem once we have passed through three or four time zones. The body takes about one day to get over each hour of time difference. But the seriousness of jet lag problems also depends on our direction of travel. If we go north or south，we won’t notice any difference，because there is usually no time zone change. However if we travel west we will be in advance of ourselves as far as our internal clock is concerned，and problems may arise. A west-to-east journey，on the other hand，makes us late compared to the local time. It often demands even greater effort in adjustment since we are not quick enough to catch up with the new time schedule. Therefore，a trip from New York to Los Angeles often causes fewer problems than a Los Angeles-New York trip.53. A traveler who suffers from jet lag has problems in ____________.A. adjusting his biological clockB. knowing the direction of a jetC. knowing the distance of his flightD. getting used to the weather of a new place54. If one travels across three time zones，he needs about ____________ hours to get over his jet lag problem.A. 24B. 36C. 48D. 7255. A person may suffer the most serious case of jet lag when he takes a ____________ journey.A. east-to-westB. west-to-eastC. north-to-southD. south-to-north（D）There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality (普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness (独创性). Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.Answer the questions in COMPLETE sentences.1.A civilization can’t develop without toys, can it?2.Why are the toys most boys play with different from those that girls play with?3.What is remarkable about the history of toys?4.Why do children in different places play various toys?5.Can you give some specific examples of the toys played by children in nearly every country according to the passages?(at least two examples)Paper Twohave any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good d 3 about the people who lived in china 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know a 4 nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the p 5 . They have heard it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many g 6 , for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call 'remembered history'. Some of it had now been written down. It is not m exact or so v 7 to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.IV. Sentence transformation:5%1.Michael was so diligent that he kept working although he was seriously ill.Michael was so diligent that he kept working .2.It is impossible for us to shop at home with the development of the Internet.The development of the InternetShop at home.3.He can’t make us believe that he is able to finish the project alone.He can’t to finish the projectalone.4.Can they catch the express train to Nanjing?
