    Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college  1 in the USA often spend many hours as volunteers(志愿者) in the orphanages(孤儿院) or rest homes. They read books to the people in these places， or they just visit them and play games with them or  2with them about their classmates and school life.

    Other young volunteers go and work in the  3 of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up or repair their houses and do their shopping or mow(割；修剪) their lawns. For boys who no longer have  4, there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or fishing trips and help them get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

    Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games. Some of these clubs show films or organize short trips to the mountains or some places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to know the  5 of young boys and girls.

    Volunteers believe that some of the  6 people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

    Finland is a great country to visit, especially for relaxing. It is easy to find peaceful and quiet places there because much of the country is covered with forests. It also has rolling hills and thousands of lakes and islands. Depending on the season, visitors can take pleasure in bird-watching, hiking, fishing and other outdoor activities. There is even a part of Finland where people can easily view the beautiful Auro Borealis, also known as Northern Lights.

    If you are a nature lover, you will discover plenty of things to enjoy in Finland. You will also find that the people of Finland are easy-going. This might be because they spend a lot of time relaxing together in saunas(桑拿室).Finland even has a contest that is about spending time in one sauna. In the Sauna World Championships, people try to stay as long as they can in a hot sauna. This is really a sweaty competition! Finland is always voted as one of the best places in the world to live in. From its capital Helsinki(赫尔辛基) to its numerous(众多的) lakes and forests, Finland is truly one of the world's greatest treasures.
