Look at the pictures of some Blue Sky Rescue volunteers and discuss the questions.
1. What do you think the volunteers in blue are doing
I think they are rescuing people from danger and teaching students practical life-saving skills.
2. Have you heard any stories about Blue Sky Rescue
Yes, I heard that Blue Sky Rescue saved many people in natural disasters.
Today we'll read a speech by one of its members.
、
Skim for main idea
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 Türkiye!
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 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. We 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!
The speaker is a _________ of Blue Sky Rescue. The speech mainly tells his ________________ with the rescue team and __________________ people to join as volunteers.

1b
Read the speech by a Blue Sky Rescue volunteer.
What kind of hook does the speaker use
Which paragraph includes a call to action
hook，顾名思义，就像鱼钩一样 “钩住” 听众的兴趣，让他们迫不及待地听下去。
call to action 通常位于演讲的结尾部分，旨在号召听众采取行动。
两者相辅相成：一个成功的开场能够吸引听众注意力，为后续的呼吁奠定基础；一个强有力的呼吁则能将开场引发的兴趣转化为实际行动，从而助力实现演讲的目的。
、
Identifying the features of a speech
A speech can start with a hook to make the audience curious about what the speaker will say next. A story, an interesting fact, or even a question can be a hook. A speech can also include a call to action by encouraging people to do something.
The speaker uses a story from his past experience. He tells the audience his own story about how he was involved in a rescue himself. The final paragraph gives a call to action. He calls on the audience to volunteer too.
成功的演讲离不开精心设计的开场 “钩子”（hook）和行动呼吁（call to action），分别承担吸引听众注意力和激励听众采取行动的重要作用。
