【今日基础词】Community

【Transcript】

A: Would you like to join the Volunteers’League?

B: Do you think I’m crazy? I just quit the Student Council. I don’t want to be so busy. I gave up a good chance of getting scholarships for that。

A: Joining the Volunteers’League won’t take you much time. It only has activities on the weekends. Come on, you won’t regret about joining this club. It’s different from other student clubs or unions.

B: What’s the difference?

A: We can do something for the community in Beijing. Isn’t that special? You can also learn a lot in the Volunteers’League. You will have a chance to learn how to communicate, how to arrange an activity and how to cooperate with your group members.

B: Oh, it means that I will have a good chance to practice my Chinese. You win. Just tell me how to get enrolled¹ for that club.

A：你想参加志愿者联盟吗？

B：你觉得我疯了吗？我刚从学生会退出来，我可不想那么忙了，我已经因为学生会的事儿放弃了获奖学金的大好机会了。

A：加入志愿者联盟不会占用你太多时间的，只是在周末有活动。来吧，参加这个社团你不会后悔的。同其他的学生社团或协会不一样。

B：有什么不一样啊？

A：我们可以为北京的社区做一些事情。是不是很特别？同时你也可以学到很多东西。你将有机会学习怎样交流，怎样组织安排活动，以及怎样和队友们合作。

B：哦，这就意味着我有机会练习汉语了。你把我说服了，告诉我怎么参加吧
