1. Why do you think Jo become a volunteer in PNG? Give as many possible reasons as you can.
2. Would you like to work as a volunteer in a poor area? Give reasons.A sample of the discussions:A: I think, first of all, Jo was a kind-hearted woman, who is willing to help others. Second, she knew enough about the poor conditions in PNG and thought that she could help teach in the schools. If I am given the chance, I will do whatever I can to help.
B: In my opinion, Jo must have worked as a teacher in Australia, and she applied to become a volunteer abroad, and then she was sent to PNG as a volunteer.
C: Maybe she thinks that education is the key to solving all the problems in PNG, so she, as a teacher, goes to PNG to help.
D: Perhaps she likes traveling abroad, helping the poor wherever she goes. E: I don’t agree with you. You know, she stayed there for two years. A traveler once did that. She was willing to help the poor children in PNG to be educated. She was doing her bit to change the poor’s state of living and education. Ifdo you bit 干分内的事 everyone in the rich countries should do like her, all the problems stemming from poverty could be solved easily.
F: I would like to say something about the second topic. I think I will be a volunteer in a poor area. Whenever I saw the poor living state of the poor in the western areas and mountainous areas, I was eager to do something for them. All are created equal. But they can’t get what we can enjoy. What a pity! If possible, I will try to help.
