Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example, working for charity, improving the neighborhood, or teaching sports to the younger). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is often mentioned that high school students must join the volunteering programmes provided by their school. Personally, I fully agree that the benefits of these activities, which include increasing the value of the students and helping students find their passion, outweigh the drawbacks if the students just do the regular tasks that they usually do in school. I will explain my reasons in the essay.
