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!
I've never forgotten that day. Since then, I've wanted to help others too. I signed up with Blue Sky Rescue in 2009, and I’ve been a volunteer ever since. We’ve been to schools and other communities to teach children and adults how to stay safe and prepare for the worst. We've also rescued people during emergencies. We've provided medical aid and searched for missing people after natural disasters like the 2013 earthquake in Ya'an and the typhoon in the Philippines in the same year. In 2023, we even helped in places as far away as Turkiye!
Working as a volunteer has taught me many practical life-saving skills. It has also helped me understand the power of teamwork because it's the key to successful rescues. Most of all, being a volunteer has taught me the value of every life.
The work is difficult. It's voluntary, so we aren't paid. We often go without food or sleep. But our primary goal has always been to save as many people as we can. I'm just an ordinary person, but I'll rush into danger, just like everyone else in Blue Sky Rescue. To the people we've saved and their loved ones, I know we're their heroes. And that makes everything we do worth it.9We want to do even more, but we can't do it all alone. Will you join us as a volunteer Together we can make a difference!

Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better Every person has his own interests. Find something you care about, and you will see the difference.
Organize a clean-up program. People often throw litter in the place where there is already litter. This leaves the community in a mess. The environment will become better if
someone volunteers to help. You could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighbourhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few days. Surely, a clean and tidy neighbourhood will be worth the work.
Show your love to the old. Our city has some old people’s homes. Without children around them, the old people there might feel lonely once in a while. Maybe they need your help. In fact, you can do a lot for them. For example, you can talk
with them or play games with them. Listening to them carefully is also a good idea. No matter what small things you do, you can make them feel loved.
Set up a reading project with your friends. Share your favourite books with them. Besides, you may read aloud(大声) to each other and talk about what you read. Either a book or an article can spark a lively discussion(讨论)and your further
thinking. The process often challenges more people to take action.
A two-month summer vacation isn’t that long, but it’s enough to make a difference.
