How much time is appropriate?
This may vary by the week and individual, but I think a good measure is to think of volunteering as similar to tithing. In other words, as a tithe in the Judeo-Christian tradition, as well as the cultures of some other religions, is one-tenth of one’s income (crops, animals, wealth, etc.) given to the church or charity, perhaps one-tenth of one’s work (study) week (i.e., one-tenth of 40 hours) could be used for volunteering.
新聞はやはり英語の勉強にも役立ちますね。
