With the process of the Western Development, a growing number of students are volunteered to be a teacher in western area. In my point of the view, volunteer teaching¹ in the west is beneficial to both the volunteers themselves and the children in the west.

随着西部大开发的进程，越来越多的学生自愿在西部地区做老师。我觉得在西部支教对志愿者自己和西部地区的孩子都是有好处的。

For one thing, volunteers can benefit a lot from their volunteer teaching. To help the children in the poor area, they will feel proud and create a sense of achievement; to learn to livein an under-developed area, they will strengthen their living skills and abandon their habit of luxury² and waste as well as establish the concept³ offrugality; to serve as volunteers, they will enjoy the happiness of making acontribution to our society, which is good for their psychological⁴ health.

首先，志愿者可以从他们的支教中获益匪浅。在贫困地区帮助孩子们，志愿者们会感到骄傲和成就感；学习在一个欠发达地区生活，志愿者们会加强他们的生活技能，舍弃自己奢侈浪费的习惯，并树立节俭的思想；作为志愿者，他们将享受到为社会做贡献的幸福，这有利于他们的心理健康。

For another thing, those children who receive the education can also benefit a lot. Volunteer teaching not only provides a good chance for them to receive education and increase their knowledge but also brings more attention and warm to them. To some extent⁵, the volunteers set a good example to those children in contributing our society.

另一方面，接受教育的那些孩子也能获益。支教不仅为他们提供受教育、增长知识的机会同时也给他们带来了更多的关注和温暖。在某种程度上，志愿者们也为他们树立了一个贡献社会的好榜样。

Except the above benefits,volunteer teaching is also an important method to increase our national education and achieve education equality. To sum up, volunteer teaching in the west will bring a lot benefits in many aspects, so we should encourage students to take part in it.

除了上述好处，支教也增加国民教育，实现教育平等的重要方法。总之，在西部支教可以在多方面带来很多的好处，所以我们应该鼓励学生参加支教。
