Section A 2a

A group of students are planning a City Park Clean-Up Day. Listen and check (√) the things they are going to do to tell people about it.

Now we need to come up with a plan to tell people about the city park clean-up. Yeah, but I'm hungry, Bob. Let's have lunch first.

No, we need to start now. Clean-up Day is only two weeks from now.

You're right, Sally. We can't put off making a plan. As we talk, I'll write down all our ideas. Then we can decide which ideas are best.

Um... well... we could put up signs. That's a good idea!

Let's make some notices, too. Then I'll hand them out after school.

OK. Great! And we could each call up 10 students and ask them to come. Hey, we're coming up with a lot of good ideas, aren't we?

Section A 2b

Section A 2d

Role-play the conversation.

Hi, Tom. I'm making some plans to work in an old people's home this summer. Really? I did that last summer!

Oh, what did they ask you to help out with?

Mm... things like reading the newspaper to the old people, or just talking to them. They told me stories about the past and how things used to be.

That sounds interesting.

Yeah, a lot of old people are lonely. We should listen to them and care for them. You're right. I mean, we're all going to be old one day, too.

Section A 3a

Read the article. What do Mario and Mary volunteer to do?

Students Who Volunteer

Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High School give up several hours each week to help others. Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor. He volunteers at an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job.

"It's hard work, "he says, "but I want to learn more about how to care for animals. I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their owners' faces."

Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four. Last year, she decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program. She still works there once a week to help kids learn to read." The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that they're going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me .I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time."

Section B 1c

Listen and number the pictures 1-4 in the correct order.

This morning I'm talking with a very wonderful young man, Jimmy the Bike Boy. Good morning, Jimmy.

Good morning.

So, Jimmy, tell our listeners what you do.

Well, I find or buy old bikes that nobody wants. Then I fix up the bikes and give them away to kids who don't have enough money to buy their own bikes.

That's fantastic. What gave you the idea?

I guess I take after my father. He loves to help people. He always volunteers to help people in need.

Wow! Your parents must be proud of you.

I guess so. But now I've run out of money, so I can't buy any more old bikes. Oh, that's too bad.

Yeah. I need to come up with some way of getting money or I'll have to stop.

Section B 1d

Listen again. Circle T for true or F for false.

Section B 2b

Skim the letter and answer the questions.

Dear Miss Li,

I'd like to thank you for giving money to Animal Helpers. I'm sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.

What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can't walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can't use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me.

Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.

After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog's name is Lucky — a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I'm only able to have a "dog helper" because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders. For example, I say, "Lucky! Get my book," and he does it at once. Lucky is a fantastic dog. I'll send

you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life.

Best wishes, Ben Smith
