1. Match the statements (1–7) to the texts (A–F).

There is one extra statement.

1. I like the fact that the volunteer work I do helps other people feel better.

2. I think it’s not difficult to get involved in charity work.

3. Volunteering helps me see how lucky I am.

4. It’s satisfying to support a successful community project.

5. It’s of great importance to see the difference I’m making.

6. I’ve started my own community project and it is going well.

7. I want to help people have better opportunities in life.

A. I want to help the homeless in the city where I live, so I called my local shelter and asked what I could do. They suggested a few ideas and in the long run I made up my mind that a good way for me to help would be to organize a food and clothes collection for charity at my school. I put up posters there and placed large boxes near the entrance to the school building for pupils to donate old clothing and canned foods. The amount we have collected so far is incredible.

B. When I finish school, I am going to spend a year doing volunteer work in Africa. I want to help the children of Ghana learn the English language. I hear that the demand for the language in that country is high, so learning English will give the young people there a head start in life and increase their chances of finding well-paid jobs. I know this experience will be quite challenging for me since I’m used to a very different way of life, but I feel it’s something I need to do.

C. I believe that all teens should try to be more active in their communities. I don’t think it is hard to find something small to do to help. In my area you can read books to young children at the library on Saturday mornings. There’s also a scheme where you can visit elderly people once or twice a week, which is what I do. And I always see posters about community events, such as beach or park clean-ups. There’s no excuse for not doing something. The possibilities are really endless!

D. This year, for an environmental project, my class decided to help promote a recycling project in our community. Since the idea was already in progress, we met with the town officials and they gave us permission to design our own leaflets. We went from door to door handing them out. We also explained to the residents the need for the new recycling boxes and bins that they would soon have outside their homes. Many people found our leaflets very informative and thanked us for our efforts. I’m really happy we have been doing something great for our community!

E. Eventually, I would like to become a doctor, but I’m not waiting until then to help those who are in poor health. For the last six months, I’ve been volunteering at the children’s hospital in my area. It’s a great experience. What do I do? I mainly read stories and organize arts and crafts projects for the children. But I feel that I’m actually doing a lot more than that. I hope I’m helping lessen the fear and stress these children and their families often feel while they are in hospital. What could be more rewarding than that?

F. Every Sunday, I train a youth football team at the local community centre. What I really like about it is the positive response I get from the children — they are so keen to learn and I can really see that they are getting better and better each week. I can also see that they are learning to work well in a team, which will help them in many different situations when they are older. I think I’m enjoying the experience of volunteering a lot more because I can really see how I’m helping.
