老年英语志愿者在行动 DAVID TOOL 在北京，除了教书育人，体验中国文化，大卫还十分关注老年人、在京外地人和残障人士的生活状态。本期他将介绍老年英语志愿者的活动。 MANY elderly people are now happily studying English, and they can greet foreign visitors at the Beijing Olympics. Their weekends are completely filled with English learning activities. The “Ask Me” program helps them a lot and they are actually using their English to help the foreign friends who need their help. Starting on May 5, three of their members will go to Shou Shui Jie (秀水街) every weekend from 9 to 11 am to do their volunteer work. They wear their “Ask Me” sashes（肩带） and walk slowly along the market to answer questions, give directions, and chat with “Lao Wai”. They are often appreciated（欣赏）by the Lao Wai and can help as many as 100 foreign guests each day. These elderly volunteers and the Chaoyang district（朝阳区） government administration（行政部门） are setting a great example for how to create an excellent win-win-win situation with their “Three Wins Program”（三赢项目）: a. Tourists win because they get the answers they need. b. Markets win because they get bilingual（双语的）people to guide the guests and help the foreign shoppers find the products they want. c. Elderly volunteers win because they feel useful and happy in showing visitors that Beijing is a friendly city. Are you interested in these activities? Come on and join in! |  |
