3/28 Free Online English Class

Volunteering work has been popular in Taiwan these years. Some people do it because they believe they can contribute their time to help people in need and make a better world. Others do it because they follow suit or jump on the wagon after their friends do it. Some people do community service because they did something wrong, and it's court-ordered.
