My cousin Jiang Lili worked as a volunteer to tutor children of medical workers after the COVID-19 broke out. Many nurses and doctors went to fight with the virus day and night. Their kids were left at home and some felt anxious. Her job was to help several children with their homework and provide extracurricular activities and psychological support online. She told me that though she was not on the front line, she still wanted to contribute her efforts to this fight.

Listening material
Tony: Hi! Is this the meeting for student volunteers
Wang Li: Hi, Tony! Yes, it is!
Tony: Oh, hi, Wang Li! I used to volunteer at my high school in America, so I wanted to try it here in China.
Peipei: We’re glad you’re here! Our meeting today is to talk about what kind of volunteer project we should do this term.
Wang Li: Peipei, may I suggest that we do something for schools in poor areas Perhaps we could organise donations of things such as pens and notebooks, or other school supplies for poor students.
Peipei: Good idea, but we did that last year. Wouldn’t it be better if we did something different this year, like organising students to volunteer their time
Wang Li: Like what
Listening material
Peipei: Well, like cleaning up the community, taking down ads from walls, and picking up litter. It might be a good idea to contact the community office and ask how we can help. Do you guys have any other ideas
Wang Li: How about writing to some nursing homes to see if they need someone to spend time with the elderly people We can play games, sing, or just chat!
Tony: That sounds like one of my school’s volunteer projects.
Wang Li: Really What other volunteer projects does your school take part in
Tony: Oh, all kinds. Every year, our whole school raises money to give to a different charity. For instance, we donated to a medical charity last year, and to an education charity before that. We raise money in different ways, such as by making and selling things, or holding a marathon and asking people to promise to donate for every kilometre we run. We also have weekly volunteer groups.
Peipei: That sounds interesting! What do the groups do
Listening material
Tony: Well, on Fridays, there are student volunteers who help serve food to homeless people. And on Saturday mornings, a group of students goes to a children’s hospital to cheer up all the little kids there.
Wang Li: Hey, I was also thinking we could contact a children’s hospital and ask how we could help. How does that idea sound, Peipei
Peipei: I love that idea! Thanks, Tony and Wang Li!
Tony: No problem, I’m glad to help. Volunteering is something we should all do.
Listening strategy
Recognise examples
An example is a thing, person, or situation that helps explain or illustrate what one is talking about. An example is nearly always introduced by words such as like, such as, for example, for instance, to illustrate, and to demonstrate.
Activity 4
Think about the following questions and write down your ideas.
1. Do you think students doing volunteer work is of any use Why or why not
Yes, it is of great use. While it is true that often they may be making only a small, temporary difference to the lives of others, the overall effect of a society helping each other can be quite great. Volunteering also makes a difference to volunteers, making them more aware of the needs of others.
2. In your opinion, which is better, giving people things, time, or money Why do you think so
I think all three are important. People should give what they have. Not everyone has money, but they may have time. On the other hand, some people have a lot of money to give, but are quite busy. Giving people things may not always be the best, as so often money is more useful—with money people can easily buy things they need. However, if the things are given with love and the person receiving that gift can feel that love, then it is a good gift.
Activity 5
In groups, talk about ways to help others.
1. What kinds of help do you think people need How do you think volunteers could help
Place What are the needs How could volunteers help
Neighbourhood There are many elderly people in my neighbourhood who are living alone. Volunteers could visit the elderly, make sure they are OK, and provide companionship and support.
School The school owns some land not being used. Volunteers could clear it, plant grass, and put a fence around it so that it can be used by students.
City/Town We live in a scenic area, but there is a bad issue of litter on empty plots of land. Volunteers can go out and pick up the litter. They can also install public rubbish bins along the streets.
Country There are some poor people in rural areas who do not have access to many of the things people living in the city take for granted. Volunteers could join or help the poverty alleviation programmes to revitalise the poor areas, send money, or provide trainings and support to the needy.

Jessie: No, it said on Sundays, and in the mornings. So let’s not just talk about it — let’s do it! It’s so exciting — do you like cats best, or dogs
Susan: Oh, hey wait, Jessie, do you think it matters that I’m allergic to cats And what if there are snakes

Reading material
Zhan Bingbing took part in an English speech contest. Read the speech
transcript and answer the questions on page 45.
Hello! My name is Zhan Bingbing.
Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world, helping other countries to develop. We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo, a port in Pakistan, railways in Panama, and an airport in Sri Lanka. And we see Chinese miners, oil workers, agricultural experts, mechanics, and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world. And some people may ask, “Is it worth it Why help people overseas when China has many areas that are still in need of development ”
I had the same questions myself. But for me, it was much more personal. You see, my mother is a medical doctor, and for the last two years, she has been working as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government.
Reading material
To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was upset. My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me. But more importantly, she was my best friend. We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and work, we were never apart. So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input.
But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am singing a different tune. Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania. And, while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted, such as electricity, running water, cars and good transport systems, and supermarkets. One project that my mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac hospital. Prior to this, if a Tanzanian had a heart condition and needed surgery, they would have to go abroad. Since this was quite expensive, many people went without medical treatment and some even died. Now, not only are Tanzanians helped by the hospital, but people in neighbouring countries are helped as well. It has made a big difference to their lives. My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with disabilities, and provide consultation and training for local doctors. In addition, her team has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in China, and this has saved many lives.
Reading material
Today, I want to relay to you that I’m proud of the work my mother has done, and I am now supportive of it. Is her work worth it Yes, to the lives of the people she is helping, it is worth it. But by any criteria this work is worth it to us as well, because it shows that we are global citizens interested in world stability, and that we feel responsible for others and are ready to build a community with a shared future for mankind. Everyone deserves a fair chance in life. When I think of all the things that we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of, helping others comes at the top of this list. Now that I understand how important my mother’s work is, I’ve decided to become a volunteer myself to help people in other lands. In the future, I pray that you will do the same.
Thank you!

Writing
写作指导
1. The beginning of your speech should get the attention and interest of your audience.
2. By asking a rhetorical question, the audience will answer mentally and focus on your topic.
3. People are egocentric. Pay close attention to message that affect their own values, beliefs and well-being.
4. Two main functions of conclusion: to let the audience know you are ending the speech; to reinforce the audiences’ understanding of your speech.
5. When you have chosen a topic and a general purpose, you must narrow your choice to determine the specific purpose of your speech.
6. Use an example to explain your idea because in most cases, audiences need a more personal viewpoint on issues.
Activity 3
Write a speech about China’s aid to other countries.
1. In groups, brainstorm a list of possible causes that you could talk about.
2. In pairs, go over the list and discuss these points:
* Which, if any, of the causes do you have a personal connection with
* What personal story could you tell in relation to that cause
* How did that affect your opinions on the issue
* What rhetorical question could you use to begin your speech
* What is the answer to that rhetorical question
* What action do you want people to take as a result of your speech
3. Using what you have discussed, write a short speech.
Activity 3
My dear fellows,
What is the No.1 problem in the world today War Maybe. Pollution Kind of. While these are problems, there is another problem that many people don’t know about, which affects about 1.2 billion people now, and 500 million people are approaching this situation. And what is it A lack of water!
I had no idea about this problem myself, until my father volunteered to go to Ghana to dig wells. At first, I was a little upset and worried about his trip. After all, he would be gone for up to two years! Then I began to study up on this issue, and I learnt that what my father did was right. It is thought that as many as 300 million people in Africa are affected by water shortages. Due to the lack of water, farms can not produce enough food and many people go hungry. Since water is scarce, even though the water is harmful, people go ahead and drink the water, which makes them sick.
Sample
Activity 3
In addition, people may have to walk many kilometres a day to get enough water for their daily use. The task of getting water usually falls to the female. Women end up not having enough time to work, and girls do not have time to go to school.
Can you imagine what a difference it will make to people there just to have a new well Suddenly, they have all the clean water they need within easy walking distance. They can use this to grow crops, to drink, and to cook with. Now women have time to work and earn extra money for their families, and girls can go to school. When I think about what a difference my father is making to them, my chest swells with pride. Yes, my father did that! He helped those people!
My father is an inspiration to me. I now want to make a difference to this world. It might be here in China, or somewhere else. Would you like to join me
