3. Why do some people enjoy helping others? Well, it's always a good feeling to be helpful. I guess you could say it is rewarding to do a
good deed. Whenever you do something good, people will smile at you or thank you. It definitely
makes you look good, and feel good inside. Just like a doctor for example, when he cures a patient,
he can feel proud of himself. It means his life is meaningful. I am sure that some teachers feel the
same, when their students become successful. They know they played a role in their success. It's
impossible to be completely selfless.
4. Which kinds of organizations do work to help people in your country? There are many charity groups in my country that help the less fortunate. After natural
disasters such as the earthquake that hit Sichuan in 2008
,
many charity organizations collected
money from all over the world to give a hand to the victims there. Some aid organizations went to
Sichuan to help them rebuild their houses and other social facilities. I am sure the government also
has a special branch that assists people in need.
5. Which groups of people should be given most help from aid organizations? I just mentioned the victims of natural disasters
.
A terrible typhoon devastated (=destroyed)
parts of Taiwan last year. Aid organizations should definitely come to the rescue f those people
who lost everything. There have been many similar cases all around the world these last few years,
with earthquakes in China, Haiti, and Chile, and tsunamis in Indonesia, Thailand and Japan. I also
remember that Hurricane Katrina hit the city of New Orleans really badly a few years ago.
International help is greatly beneficial and appreciated in these stricken areas of the world. In
addition, I think that charity groups should alsc assist people in poor areas of the country. For

example, many families in western China don't have enough money to buy school supplies for
their children. I think we could all donate money to help these kids enjoy a better life.
