Volunteering actions are of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Olympic Games are a good example. As is known to all, volunteers played an active role in Beijing Olympic Games. Without them, it would be a tough task to hold this un-precedent Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games.
志愿行为对于那些需要帮助的人和社会都是有极大的好处。奥运会就是一个很好的例子。众所周知,志愿者在北京奥运会中扮演了积极的角色。没有他们,这将会是一个艰巨的任务去完成这史无前例的奥运会。因此,我们可以说,是那些志愿者保证了那些运动的成功举行。
