Unit1 Helping those in needVoluntary workThree teenagers offered to do some voluntary work during the school holidays. They wrote the following reports. Betty I did some voluntary work in a children's hospital. The children there all suffer from serious illness. We organized a painting petition for them. I met a girl called Cindy. She wanted to paint a picture of the park near her home. I went there and took some photos of it. Cindy used them for her painting. Mark There are many children without parents. I met som e of these children with my mother. We taught them to tell stories. This helps them express their feelings. One child said," My friends don't understand my pain". We spent some time with a girl called Vivien. Her parents died in a car accident, and she is unhappy and very lonely. She needs friendship. My mother and I will continue to visit Vivien. AnnieI wanted to help disabled children. They have difficulty walking or moving. I taught them to sing because music can bring them joy and peace. I met a boy called Tim. He hurt his legs in an accident, but he has lots of courage. We need to help children like Tim and raise their spirits. I will continue to do voluntary work in the future.CVocabularyC1 The words in italics are from the reports.
