Period 1 Reading and Thinking
Help the needy
What do you think is happening in the photo
Some young people in Africa are enjoying water at a new well which was provided by China.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
——Sam Levenson
The shortage of water is one of major issues in Africa.
First ,there is often not enough water to grow crops, leading to famine饥荒; and the water that can be found is often filled with viruses, bacteri, making it unsafe for drinking, yet people drink it anyway.
second, Traditionally, in Africa, women or girls are responsible for fetching the water. they may have to walk several kilometres to fetch the water, which means that wives do not have time to earn money, and that girls have no time to go to school.
The existence of a well in such a place will provide plenty of easy-to- access, safe, and clean water and will free up women and girls.
A well can be a life- changing resource to a small village.
Volunteering to dig a well is important
Share your experiences as a volunteer, if you have any.
Example
I spent a summer volunteering to help feed homeless people. It was a wonderful but busy time. Though the work was quite hard, I felt good about my contribution to society and my role in helping others.
How do you understand this quote
In context, the quote means that we should take care of ourselves, and that we should take care of others in an equal fashion.
随着年龄的增长，你会发现你有两只手，一只帮助自己，另一只帮助别人。
——山姆·莱文森
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
—Sam Levenson
