Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But, before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist(存在). That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments.

One day Merlin was invited to a music party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance (隆重出场) at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates in the world. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of getting to the party on wheels while playing the violin.

On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates.

Teenagers and adults can learn a lot from volunteering. Here are some great places for them to volunteer.

Hospitals

Teens working in hospitals can get job experience in the medical field. They also have the chance to work with people and learn some social skills. Adults, especially retired adults, volunteering in hospitals can get the chance to stay healthy and spend their free time.

Nursing homes

For teens, volunteering in a nursing home can help them realize how they should respect the old. For working adults, it’s a chance to share work skills in a special way. There they can help teach computer classes, art or dance to keep the old happy and satisfied.

Museums

Museums are always looking for volunteers. They need office workers to serve the visitors or help clean the rooms. And they prefer museum docents (讲解员) who know a lot about how the museums work.

Remember wherever you volunteer, be willing to do anything without being asked. Then you can get the most out of volunteering.
