Post-listening
Think about the following questions and write down your ideas.
1. Do you think students doing volunteer work is of any use Why or why not
While it is true that often they may be making only a small, temporary difference to the lives of others, the overall effect of a society helping each other can be quite great. volunteering also makes a difference to volunteers, making them more aware of the needs of others.
=useful
Yes, it is of great/vital/much use.
2. In your opinion, which is better, giving people things, time, or money Why do you think so
I think all three are important. People should give what they have. Not everyone has money, but they may have time. On the other hand, some people have a lot of money to give, but are quite busy. Giving people things may not always be the best, as so often money is more useful – with money people can easily buy things they need. However, if the things are given with love and the things are given with love and the person receiving that gift can feel that love, then it is a good gift.
money>time> things

There are many elderly people in my neighbourhood who are living alone.

Volunteers could clear it, plant grass, and put a fence around it so that it can be used by students.
Suggested answers
Place What are the needs How could voluunteers help
City/ Town
Country
We live in a scenic area, but there is a bad issue of litter on empty plots of land.
Volunteers can go out and pick up the litter. They can also install public rubbish bins along the streets.
There are some poor people in rural areas who do not have access to many of the things people living in the city take for granted.
Volunteers could join or help the poverty alleviation programmes to revitalize the poor areas, send money, or provide trainings and support to the needy.

Susan: Hello, Jessie. Yes, I did see it. I'd love to help out in a shelter. Think of all those cute, little animals!
Jessie: Exactly, and it would also look great on our CVs. But maybe it's too good to be true...
Susan: Yeah, what if we have to clean out the smelly cages
I'd hate that!
1) strong emotion
2)emphasis of important information
Jessie: Well, we can ask for gloves. How about you clean the outside of the cages, and I'll clean the inside
Susan: Thanks, Jessie, you're a true friend! Anyway, we should check the timing. Did the ad say Saturday afternoons I'm usually busy on Saturday afternoons
Jessie: No, it said on Sundays, and in the mornings. So let's not just talk about it– let's do it! It's so exciting– do you like cats best, or dogs
Susan: Oh, hey wait, Jessie, do you think it matters that I'm allergic to cats And what if there are snakes
