1. 在你家乡有很多的倶乐部或团队么？
There are not so many clubs or teams in my hometown as in Beijing. Beijing is a metropolitan area that a great variety of people who have diversified interest in activities. There are demands for different people going to various clubs. Besides,those consumer groups would like to spend money on the clubs because they earn enough money. People in my hometown might not be so willing to spend money on clubs because they don't have much extra money as those people in the big cities.
我的家乡没有北京那么多的俱乐部或者是社团活动。北京是一个有着形形色色人的大都市，他们有着多元化兴趣爱好，因此他们会参加各种不同的俱乐部。那些消费群体喜欢花钱参加倶乐部活动，因为他们赚足够的钱。我家乡的人就不大愿意花钱参加俱乐部的活动，因为他们不像大城市的人那样有多余的钱。
2. Are they proper for elder people?
2. 适合老年人么？
Some clubs or teams are proper for the elderly, such as clubs for ball games and chesses. Elderly can properly do those activities. However, many tough activities are harmful for the elderly,such as street dancing and mountain climbing. The mountain climbing club usually only recruit young people with sufficient energy. It's too dangerous for the elderly people to join.
有些俱乐部或社团适合老年人，比如说球类和棋类的倶乐部，老人比较适合从事这些活动。然而，许多剧烈的活动对老人是有害的，比如街舞和爬山。爬山俱乐部通常只招收那些体力较充沛的青年人，老人参加这样的俱乐部活动是非常危险的。
3. Do the clubs and teams charge?
3. 倶乐部和团队要付费么？
Almost all the clubs and teams will charge a certain amount of membership fee. The organizers need money to invite professional expert to give lectures on the activities. The workers of the clubs and teams also need to be paid. However, that money is only part of the income of the clubs. Most of the clubs try to find sponsors once they hold some games.
几乎所有的俱乐部和社团都要收取一金数量的会员费。组织者需要一定的资金去邀请专家做有关活动的讲座。俱乐部和团队的工作人员也需要有一些报酬。然而，这些钱只是俱乐部收入的一小部分。大多数俱乐部要举办一些活动时，就会设法去拉赞助。
