Earth Hour
Earth Hour started in Australia with millions of homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour.People are all joining together in a global effort to show that it’s possible to take action on global warming.
Beijing took part in Earth Hour this year .The “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium and the nearby “Water Cube”，usually illuminated by floodlights，went dark at 8：30 p.m.，while dozens of hotel office buildings，shopping malls and restaurants also switched their lights off.People joined in activities such as candle-lit dinners and star-gazing patties as a response to the call for “going dark”.
I support the action.In my opinion, Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of actor. It will have a great influence on people’s attitude towards global warming.We should take responsibility and get involved in working towards a bright future.Everyone can make a difference.

Nowadays, in China more and more young people are engaged in voluntary work. They are doing many different kinds of jobs. Some volunteers go into communities to care for the old people who live alone, and offer them free medical care, which helps the elders become more energetic and optimistic. Meanwhile, some join the Go West Project, trying to improve the standard of education in those remote and less developed areas. What’s more, some others organize various activities to help people realize the importance and significance of protecting our environment, or take action to plant trees, clear up rivers, recycle waste and so on..
In my opinion, doing voluntary work will do much good not only to society but also to the volunteers themselves. Also, all the voluntary work, no matter how small, can help make a difference. Therefore, volunteers are honorable, and, with their efforts, the world will be more beautiful.
