Show model answer
Suggestion 1: Provide flexible volunteering opportunities
[POINT] Community groups can encourage young working adults to volunteer regularly by providing flexible volunteering opportunities.
[ELABORATION] For example, community groups can organise volunteering activities during weekends or evenings when young working adults are not working. They can also allow volunteers to choose their preferred time slots through online registration. Volunteers could help elderly residents buy groceries, deliver meals or teach them how to use smartphones.
[EXPLANATION] As a result, young working adults can volunteer without affecting their work schedules or personal commitments. This makes volunteering more convenient and manageable for them.
[LINK] Therefore, more young working adults may be willing to volunteer regularly and provide continued support to elderly residents.
