Cherished Volunteering Memory of Being an Olympic Family Assistant

Volunteer Liu and the Secretary at a tourist site

Exhausted as Liu was, she thinks it was rewarding. Most of her work included designing the sightseeing route, contacting the car driver, and informing the Seecretary about the local culture. In doing all these things, Liu believes that she has developed many skills such as communication skills, cooperation skills and time management skills. Also Liu has become more careful with details. She learnt this lesson when she forgot to bring her volunteer card once. In addition, Liu believes that her oral English has improved a lot. "As many vocabulary words we seldom see in our text book, sometimes I got confused by some words, but through communicating, I learnt a lot of native English expressions." More interesting is that the Scottish Secretary taught Liu some Scottish and about the culture in Scotland, which Liu found very informative.
