TEST 3

DJ: Good evening and welcome to the show! Joining us today, we have Virginia Bell, the founder of Rockjoy Shelter. It's great to have you here, Virginia.

VB: It's a pleasure to be on the show!

DJ: So, tell us a bit about the shelter.

VB: Well, the organisation was established in 1963 by members of the community working together with the local council. At that time, we weren't a shelter, but a small soup kitchen that offered hot meals to homeless people.

DJ: I see. And you were based in the town hall, is that right?

VB: Yes, that was the building we used initially. Then, the local council moved us to an abandoned warehouse, which was ideal since it was larger and allowed us to take in more people. Eventually, we raised enough money to purchase our own building, which was previously a hotel.

DJ: Sounds like an expensive project! How did you raise the money for this work?

VB: Well, in order to launch our campaign, the local council gave us a small grant. But since then, we have had to rely on the generosity of local people. We also have a charity shop on the high street that generates a small amount of income.

DJ: I see. And is the shelter open to all people?

VB: Our shelter does not exclude anyone, although one area is reserved for women only. Most of our residents are parents with children, so there is a children's centre as well.

DJ: What does the children's centre do?

VB: Well, it's open to children of all ages and offers classes in Maths and English. It's much like a conventional school; however, instead of having the same curriculum for all students, each child decides on their own study plan and works to achieve individual goals.

DJ: That sounds great. What other services does the shelter offer?

VB: Well, we are unable to offer financial assistance to our residents and instead concentrate on providing them with the skills to live independently. To do this, we offer a variety of courses. These are designed to develop essential skills for the workplace.

DJ: And finally, how can local people get involved with this great project?

VB: Well, we are always looking for volunteers! A mandatory training session is provided for all volunteers, and those under eighteen must seek consent from a parent or guardian before training begins.

DJ: I'm sure plenty of our listeners would love to get involved! Thank you for coming on the show today, Virginia. I wish you the best of luck in the future.

VB: You're most welcome. Thanks for having me!

Итак, расскажите нам немного о приюте.

Ответ:

The Rockjoy Shelter, founded by Virginia Bell, began in 1963 as a small soup kitchen providing hot meals to homeless people, established by community members working with the local council. Initially based in the town hall, the organization later moved to a larger abandoned warehouse and eventually purchased its own building, which was previously a hotel. The shelter is open to all people, although one area is reserved for women only. Many residents are parents with children, so there is a children's centre that offers classes in Maths and English. Instead of a conventional curriculum, each child decides on their own study plan and works towards individual goals. The shelter does not offer financial assistance but concentrates on providing residents with skills to live independently by offering various courses designed to develop essential skills for the workplace. The project was initially launched with a small grant from the local council, but since then, it relies on the generosity of local people and income from a charity shop. Local people can get involved by volunteering; a mandatory training session is provided for all volunteers, and those under eighteen must seek consent from a parent or guardian before training begins.

Приют Rockjoy, основанный Вирджинией Белл, начал свою деятельность в 1963 году как небольшая благотворительная столовая, предоставлявшая горячие обеды бездомным, и был создан членами общины в сотрудничестве с местным советом. Первоначально располагаясь в здании ратуши, организация позже переехала на более крупный заброшенный склад и в конечном итоге приобрела собственное здание, которое ранее было отелем. Приют открыт для всех людей, хотя одна зона зарезервирована только для женщин. Многие жители являются родителями с детьми, поэтому при приюте есть детский центр, который предлагает занятия по математике и английскому языку. Вместо традиционной учебной программы каждый ребенок самостоятельно определяет свой план обучения и работает над достижением индивидуальных целей. Приют не предлагает финансовую помощь, но сосредоточен на предоставлении жильцам навыков для самостоятельной жизни, предлагая различные курсы, разработанные для развития основных навыков для трудоустройства. Проект был первоначально запущен при поддержке небольшого гранта от местного совета, но с тех пор он полагается на щедрость местных жителей и доход от благотворительного магазина. Местные жители могут принять участие в проекте, став волонтерами; для всех волонтеров предусмотрено обязательное обучение, а лицам до восемнадцати лет необходимо получить согласие родителя или опекуна перед началом обучения.
