I am Ashraf from Cairo, Egypt. Last summer, my cousin Sami came to Cairo for the first time. He is 28 and he lives in London. He is an architect(建筑师) and he was visiting Cairo for his job.
On the morning of his last day here, we went to Khan el-Khalili, It is a big market in the centre of Cairo. Hundreds of people come to the market every day. It is quieter in the morning than in the afternoon when lots of tourists visit it.
My dad is a taxi driver. He gave us a ride to the market. On the way, we saw many buildings. Sami liked them a lot. He said, "I like the buildings in London, but Cairo's buildings are more interesting. And the people here are friendly, too. But the streets are busier and noisier than those in London!"
The things in the market are not too expensive. Sami bought a dress for his daughter and a toy violin for his son. We had lunch at a coffee house and Sami admired the food. He said it was both beautiful and tasty. While we were eating, we enjoyed some wonderful Egyptian music. A band was playing the violin and the drums. We also took a lot of photos.
Finally, it was time for Sami to go home. "Thank you for showing me around this beautiful city, " Sami said. "One day, I want to show you around my city!"

Volunteering in your community gives you a chance to give back. You' ll feel proud that you are volunteering your time, and a local organization will benefit, too. There are some tips(建议) you can follow to help you do your volunteer jobs well. You should choose a volunteer job first and pay attention to the volunteer job you feel strongly about. When you decide to volunteer, you shouldn't accept the first volunteer chance you come across easily, because you' re likely to be happier and volunteer longer at an organization that supports a job you care about. So you may need to find a volunteer job that makes full use of your abilities or skills. Then, treat the volunteer job like a real job or your study task. That means being serious. Spend some time preparing for the interview, much as you would prepare for a job interview. During your volunteering, you should take responsibility (责任) for everything you do instead of giving up. You may even complete any needed training to help you volunteer well, such as learning some useful skills to help others. Being active and creative is also necessary. Both of the two traits(特质) will help you be great volunteers.
