27. Discussion Would you like to work as a volunteer in a poor area? I think I will be a volunteer in a poor area. Whenever I saw the poor living state of the poor in the western areas and mountainous areas, I was eager to do something for them. All men are created equal. But they can’t get what we can enjoy. What a pity! If possible, I will try to help.
