It was a great long time! I was a volunteer for seven days in Beijing during the International Business Meeting. I worked for Haier Group. Haier Company(公司)invited some foreign businessmen to Beijing to take part in the meeting. Those people who were invited by Haier from overseas(海外的)countries all stayed at a 5-star hotel. We volunteers helped those VIPs rest in the hotel,wrote down VIPs’ information,translated (翻译)Chinese into English, and sent them gifts every day. Sometimes some of them needed some help like calling for a taxi and we were there to help.
Since we worked at the 5-star hotel,our meals were wonderful. We all loved them! There was also milk and fruit in the office. We could have them when there was not much work to do. By the way,those things were all free. If we worked late at night,we could stay at the hotel instead of going home alone.
I got on very well with other volunteers. The last day,we took photos,exchanged (交换)our phone numbers with each other and said we would keep in touch often.
I learned a lot from this special experience. It was not easy to organize an activity. It was not easy to make friends with other volunteers if most of them were not nice. Anyway, I got through it and I am a little bit stronger now.
