If I decided to spend several hours every month helping my community, I would give free English lessons to children from poor families. In this essay, I will explain why I chose this activity.
Firstly, English is very important for young people in my country. Today, many good jobs require English, especially in international companies, tourism and technology. Students who speak English well can also apply for scholarships to study abroad. However, many children from poor families cannot afford to go to English centres, because the fees are very expensive. As a result, they have fewer opportunities than children from rich families. By teaching them for free, I can help them to have a better future.
Secondly, I have the right skills to do this. I have studied English for many years, and I have a good level. I also enjoy working with children. When I was at university, I helped my younger cousin with her English homework, and she improved a lot. So, I believe I can teach children in my community effectively.
Thirdly, this activity can have a long-term effect on the whole community. If children learn English well, they can get better jobs in the future and help their families to escape poverty. They may also come back and help other children in the community. In addition, learning English can make children more confident and open-minded.
To do this, I would ask the local community centre to let me use a room on weekend mornings. I would also ask my friends to join me and donate books.
In conclusion, I would give free English lessons to poor children in my community, because English is very useful, I have the right skills, and it can help to improve the future of the whole community.
