1、题目大意
越来越来来自富裕国家的年轻人会在相对贫困的国家的社区中做一段时间的免费义工（教学或者修房子）。为什么他们会选择做这个？谁会因此而受益？
2、思路解析
这是一道报告类大作文，聊的是富裕国家年轻人做志愿者的事宜。报告类文章结构比较简单，两个主体段分别回应两个问题，主体段一讨论这么做的原因，主体段二讨论谁会收益。审题时候注意两点，一是 more and more 包含了变化关系，需要在论证原因时讨论为什么这一现象变多了。二是限定对象“people from wealthy countries”和“poor countries”，需要考虑各自的特性。下面月半鸭和大家一起来看下具体观点。
首先来看原因，可以有三方面。
一是生活富足使得这些年轻人认为自己有能力可以帮助更多需要的人。同时也有更多精力思考人生意义，或是他们对未来目标感到迷茫，因此希望通过海外志愿者项目来寻找自我价值。
二是如今信息更加透明以及交通更加发达，更多年轻人有机会了解到这些志愿者项目，报名参与的难度相较过去也更低，因此吸引越来越多有想法的人参与其中，
三是许多发达国家本身有非常浓厚的宗教氛围，这些宗教会不断鼓励年轻人更多去参与公益活动，帮助需要的人，同时起到传播教义的作用。
然后来看谁会获益，可以分别对年轻人和贫穷地区进行讨论。
对于年轻人来说，志愿者活动能够开拓眼界，了解不同文化、结交更多朋友伙伴，对这个世界产生更加健全的认识。并且这些履历作为背景，在其未来升学和求职过程中，可能会有所助益。
对于贫穷地区来说，志愿者作能帮助当地建设或推动教育发展，同时由于免费，不会给当地造成额外的财政负担。并且，一些志愿者项目可能本身还需要年轻人支付一定的费用，这些费用对于当地社区或公益组织来说，也是一种收益。
3、提纲
4、高分范文示例
A growing trend among young people is to spend a few months or a year volunteering in developing nations. It seems to me that the primary grounds for this occurrence are the aspiration to better one's own self-awareness and the readiness to offer a helping hand to others.
The primary motivation for such a choice among young people is the desire to boost their own self-esteem. In recent years, as a result of world peace and rapid economic growth, a greater number of young people lack a clear sense of future life planning and self-worth despite fairly consistent education and employment. By participating in overseas volunteer programs, one can observe the gap between the rich and the poor in many nations and discover that the compassion can benefit the locals and receive a positive feedbacks. The second reason is to express affection. Church-going households tend to have more youngsters engaged in foreign volunteer work. Religion encourages a feeling of equality and brotherhood, which has led to a rise in the number of young people participating in efforts to support underprivileged communities.
In addition, several individuals would profit from volunteer activity. First, through mingling with other volunteers and locals, young people can not only obtain an in-depth understanding of the local culture, but also meet friends from different cultures. Second, local welfare institutions and residents can also receive further advantages. Although young people perform volunteer work for free, they are typically required to pay a daily fee to the organisation before beginning. In other words, volunteers will not only contribute free labour to the local community, but they will also contribute financial assistance.
In conclusion, helping others is not merely for a resume bullet point or a sense of moral superiority, but for a sense of social responsibility. I hope that every voluntary effort will have a major impact on the globe.
