十、A possible version:

A school did a survey among 100 students about their plans for social practice activities during the summer vacation. Here are the results. Sixty-six students want to do community volunteer work. Twenty-four percent are going to learn a life skill. And only one tenth are interested in having a yard sale. In my view, it's good to do community volunteer work.

First, I need to make a group of volunteers by talking with the teenagers. Then we're going to work out different plans based on old people's needs. We can also organize some outdoor activities for the kids and hand out advertisements to better our environment. They all need us to communicate and work well with others. Now, I'm already looking forward to the coming vacation
