II. PRACTICE Volunteering in the community

Act 1

Listen and read.

Kim: Hi, Tam. I went to your house at 9 am,
but you weren't there.
Tam: Oh, when you came, I was working as a
volunteer at our local centre for community
development.
Kim: Ah, I see. How did you become a
volunteer there?
Tam: Just by chance. Last summer, while I was
visiting the centre, I saw an advertisement for
volunteers. I applied and my application was
successful.
Kim: I also want to be a volunteer. I find
community work very interesting.
Tam: I agree. Community service not only
benefits the local area, but can also boost our
confidence and help us learn many useful skills.

Kim: What are the regular activities organised
by the centre?
Tam: Oh, there are endless opportunities for
getting involved. For example, you can join a
local environmental group to clean up the park
once a week or volunteer at an orphanage.
Kim: Sounds good. How can I apply?
Tam: I'll email you the form. You just fill it in
and send it in.
Kim: Thanks so much. I'm so excited about
volunteering at the centre.
Tam: No problem. Good luck. Hope your
application is successful and you enjoy the
work.
