Volunteer Teaching in the West

西部支教

　　In recent years, college students are encouraged to help students with their study in rural China. They have been doing their utmost to impart knowledge and otIering help to those students who want to learn eagerly.

　　近些年来，大学生被鼓励去帮助中国农村学生的学习。他们一直竭尽全力在为那些急切渴望求学的学生传授知识和提供帮助。

　　The volunteer teaching is beneficial in the following two aspects. On the one hand, college volunteers are really devoted themselves to the teaching and they take an active role in developing teaching materials and organizing classes. They help to widen the horizon of students in underdeveloped regions and impart them new knowledge and thoughts. As a result, they are extremely welcomed and respected by the children there. On the other hand, by adapting themselves to the hard living conditions, college students can learn how to deal with difficulties and face challenges as well. What's more, the volunteer experience will be always a valuable treasure in his or her life.

　　支教在以下两个方面有帮助。其一，大学志愿者确实会投入到教学中去，他们在研发教育资料和组织课堂方面起了积极作用。他们帮助不发达地区的学生开拓视野，并且传授给他们新的知识和想法。所以，他们极其受那里的孩子们的欢迎和尊重。其二，通过让他们自己适应艰苦的生活条件，大学生可以学到如何处理困难以及面对挑战。另外，志愿者的经历总是能成为他或她人生中一笔宝贵的财富。
