Read the speech by a Blue Sky Rescue volunteer. What kind of hook does the speaker use Which paragraph includes a call to action
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to speak to you about Blue Sky Rescue today. Let me begin with my own story.
Back in 2008, I was hiking in the mountains with some friends when one of them fell and got a bad head injury. We had to find help quickly, so we called an emergency number. It was already dark, and we couldn’t even see where we were. After some time, we heard dogs barking and the voices of the Blue Sky Rescue team. I nearly started crying. We were so thankful that they found us!

As we all know, reading is one of the best ways to get knowledge. That’s why I have kept volunteering in the school library for two years.
I volunteer in the library twice a week. As I go into the library, I help to clean the bookshelves and help the teacher lend the books to students.
Besides these, I have more chances to read different books than others. That’s the most important reason why I like doing this. Reading makes me open up my eyes and makes my life meaningful and colourful. I hope to take part in more volunteering
activities in the future and encourage everyone to join as well.
