Thinking
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.
Some people have a lot of money to give, but are quite busy.
If the things are given with love and the person receiving that gift can feel that love, then it is a good gift.
And what people should give is also based on what is needed.
Discussing and brainstorming
What kinds of help do you think people need How do you think volunteers could help

Country
There are many elderly people in my neighbourhood who are living alone.
The school owns some land not being used.
People drop litter on empty plots of land.
There are some poor people in rural areas having no access to many of the things people living in the city take for granted.
visit the elderly, make sure they are OK, and provide companionship and support
clear it, and put a fence around it so that it can be used by students
go out and pick up the litter; install more public rubbish bins along the streets
join or help the poverty alleviation programmes to send money, or provide trainings and support to the needy
What kinds of help do you think people need How do you think volunteers could help
Talking
In groups, discuss where and how you can help.
Where would it be possible for you and your group members to volunteer
What kind of volunteer work could you do, based on your group’s skills and qualities
Sample conversation
A: So, what kind of volunteer project should we do this term
B: There are many elderly people living in my neighbourhood. Perhaps we could go to visit them and see how we can help them.
C: Well, that’s true of your neighbourhood, but it isn’t true of mine.
D: It isn’t true of mine either.
C: You know, there are a lot of empty plots of land in our city that are full of rubbish. My advice would be to try cleaning them up.
D: The problem is that there are only a few of us. We don’t have enough people to do all that work.
A: Well, if I may suggest an idea, I could start a public campaign to get others involved.
B: That’s a great idea! I volunteer at a local radio station. I could appeal for help.
A: And I love to write. I could write the text for those posters.
C: Wonderful! So we’re all set
B: It looks like we are.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
