If you have a chance to do volunteer work, what kind of work would you like to do
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.
Suggested Answer
Have you or someone you know ever worked as a volunteer Tell your partner about the experience.

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
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
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.
Transcript
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.
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.
Think about the following questions and write down your ideas.
Post-listening
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
School
City/Town
Country
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.
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.
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.
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.
2. What kinds of skills and qualities could you offer as a volunteer
Skill Quality
I am good at writing and photography, and I know how to organise things.
I am patient and hardworking.

Making suggestions
A: So, what kind of volunteer project should we do this term
B: There are many elderly people living in my neighbourhood. Perhaps we could go visit them and see how we can help them.
C: Well, that’s true of your neighbourhood, but it isn’t true of mine.
D: It isn’t true of mine either.
C: You know, there are a lot of empty plots of land in our city that are full of rubbish. We might try cleaning them up.
D: The problem is that there are only a few of us. We don’t have enough people to do all that work.
A: Well, my advice would be to start a public campaign to get others involved.
B: That’s a great idea! I volunteer at a local radio station. I could appeal for help.
A: And I love to write. I could write the text for those posters.
C: Wonderful! So we’re all set
B: It looks like we are.
Sample Conversation
Jessie: Hi, Susan! Did you see the animal shelter advertisement I think it’d be great for our volunteering
project!
Susan: Hello, Jessie. Yes, I did see it. I’d love to help out in a shelter. Think of all those cute, little animals!
Jessie: Exactly, and it would also look great on our CVs. But maybe it’s too good to be true ...
Susan: Yeah, what if we have to clean out the smelly cages I’d hate that!
Jessie: Well, we can ask for gloves. How about you clean the outside of the cages, and I’ll clean the inside
Susan: Thanks, Jessie, you’re a true friend! Anyway, we should check the timing. Did the ad say Saturday
afternoons I’m usually busy on Saturday afternoons.
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
Read the conversation below. Decide which type of stress the words in bold show: 1) strong emotion; 2) emphasis of important information; 3) correction of a mistake; 4) contrast or comparison.
