May: Would you like to join the Olympic Volunteers' League?

Roommate: Am I crazy？I just quitted the Students' Counsel. I don't want to be as busy as before. I've given up a big chance of getting scholarships for that.

May: No, joining the Olympic Volunteers' League won't take you much time. It only has activities on the weekends.

Roommate: Really? That's good. I was just wondering about how to spend my free time on weekends.

May: Come on, you won't regret about joining Olympic Volunteers' League. It's different from other student clubs or unions.

Roommate: What's the difference?

May: We can do something for the upcoming Olympics in Beijing. Isn't that special?

Roommate: Not really. I'd rather join the Entrepreneurs' Club, so my experience will be helpful, when I look for jobs in the future.

May: That's also a good choice. But the Entrepreneurs' Club just hold some boring activities, you know, speeches, competitions…

Roommate: But you can learn a lot of things from the activities and it's related to our major.

May: You can also learn a lot in Olympic Volunteers' League. You will have the chance to learn how to communicate, how to arrange an activity and how to cooperate with your group members.

Roommate: What activities does Olympic Volunteers' League have?

May: We will be voluntary guides, translators in Olympic Park and other nearby places.

Roommate: Does the mean I have lots of chances to practice my English?

May: You can say that again?

Roommate: OK, May, you win. Just tell me how to get enrolled for that club.

阿美: 你愿意参加奥运志愿者协会吗？

室友: 我疯了？我刚刚退出学生会。我不想像以前那么忙，我放弃了获得奖学金的大好机会。

阿美: 不是的，参加奥运志愿者协会不会占用你太多时间的。它只是在周末有活动。

室友: 真的吗？太好了，我正在想怎么打发我的周末时间呢？

阿美: 来吧，参加奥运志愿者协会你不会后悔的。它跟其他的学生组织和团体不一样。

室友: 有什么区别吗？

阿美: 我们可以为即将到来的奥运会做一些事情，这很特别，不是吗？

室友: 也不全是，我想参加企业协会，这样学到的经验对我将来找工作很有用。

阿美: 也是一个不错的选择。但是你知道企业协会会举办一些比较枯燥的活动，如演讲、比赛等等。

室友: 但是你可以从中学到跟专业相关的知识呀。

阿美: 你在奥运志愿者协会也可以学到很多东西。你有机会学会怎样交流，怎样组织安排活动，怎样和队员们合作。

室友: 奥运志愿者协会有什么样的活动呢？

阿美: 我们在奥运公园和其他附近的地方做志愿引导员和翻译人员。

室友: 那就意味着我有很多机会锻炼我的英语了？

阿美: 可以这样说。

室友: 好的，阿美，你赢了。告诉我如何参加那个协会。
