Hi, my name is Joseph and there’s something I’d like to share with you.
My 16-year-old son, Dylan, told everyone that one of the most amazing experiences of his life was the trip to South Africa last summer. Most people would think that he was on a vacation there. But Dylan spent almost the whole ten days of his trip building houses for people there. It was hard and dirty work. I never thought that he would enjoy it, but he loved every minute of it.
Encouraging(鼓励) teenagers to do volunteer work is one of the most important things you can do for them as a parent. And the amazing thing is, once they get a taste of it, teenagers will love to volunteer. And students who do volunteer work do better in school than those who don’t volunteer. In fact, volunteering provides many things for teenagers, including a wonderful experience and a good chance(机会) to meet new people.
It’s not difficult to find volunteer jobs for teenagers. They can find them in hospitals, libraries, children’s museums and so on.
根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。
1. What did Dylan think of his trip to South Africa

Dear Joe,
Our village is very old but its mountains and rivers are so beautiful and attract many tourists every year.
The mountains are in different shapes. They look amazing. Of all the mountains, Mount Lingshi is the highest. It’s about 1,000 meters high. Few people in our village have climbed it. The rivers run quietly and the water in them is very clean. Shuiniu River is longer than any other river in our village and it’s about ten meters deep — the deepest of all the rivers in our village. Also, if you come to my village, you can enjoy the wonderful clean air.
Yours
