Marta: What kind of volunteer job do you have?
Haru: I work at a nature museum. I teach children’s groups about animals, birds and plants. Last month, I helped some students write a report about the birds they didn’t know.
Marta: That’s interesting. Where did you hear about this job?
Haru: I found it through United We Serve. It’s a great website for us to volunteer in our own communities. You can find it on www. serve. gov.
Marta: Is it just for young people?
Haru: No, it isn’t. There are chances for everyone!
Marta: I have an idea for a volunteer project. What should I do?
Haru: Before you start, you should put your idea on the site and ask for volunteers. Many people are volunteering these days. And more people are going to volunteer in the future. In America, there is a law in which student volunteers can get money for their education. Besides, the number of older people rockets. That means we are going to have more older volunteers, too.
Marta: Fine. What do you want to say to other young men?
Haru: ____▲____
Marta: A good call! Hope more young people can join you! Thank you for your time, Haru.
Haru: My pleasure.

a I studied in Los Angeles in July 2019. During that time, I often went to a nearby library when I had time. Because I am a book lover. In this library, I met a girl called Elena. She gave up several hours to help us there every Friday afternoon. Her job was to read books to us and listen to our reading. She spoke very slowly. So we all could understand her. We liked her very much. She was a very kind woman. She thinks teaching the students to read is very meaningful. And she can do what she loves to do. | |
b Have you ever helped your parents with household chores? If so, what do you think the worst chore is? You may have thought of several things already, but for English people, cleaning the oven is the most hated chore, a study released (发布) by Braun Care Style ironing (熨烫) systems on Sept 8 showed. Ironing is the second most disliked task, followed closely by changing the bed sheets (床单). However, their favorite chores—which they actually enjoy doing—are cooking, gardening and vacuuming (除尘). | |
c If people around you have had a fever recently, it may not be COVID-19. According to China Daily, many places in China have come into the peak (高峰) period for seasonal flu. Influenza A is sweeping across the country. In the past three years, people did things to stop COVID-19 from spreading (传播), which also stopped the spreading of flu. As a result, people’s immunity to the flu went down. Besides, the flu and COVID-19 are different viruses (病毒), so getting COVID-19 does not stop you from getting the flu. Symptoms (症状) of influenza A: Cough, Fever above 38℃, Headache, Sore throat. |

March 25, 2024 Sunny Today the students in our class did some volunteer work in different places. In the morning, our teacher divided (划分) us into three groups according to our hobbies. I was in Group 1. We went to the hospital to help look after patients (病人). It was a good way for us to have this chance because we were interested in the medical field. With the help of the nurses, we learned many things we didn’t know. The students in Group 2 went to the City Park. They cleaned up the park, picked up the rubbish, watered the trees and flowers and fixed some of the broken chairs. The students in Group 3 went to Main Street. There, they helped the old and disabled people cross the street. They also explained traffic rules to the younger children. After volunteering for a day, we all felt happy to help others. |
