Activity 4

Think about the following questions and write down your ideas.

1. Do you think students doing volunteer work is of

 any use? Why or why not?

2. In your opinion, which is better, giving people things, time, or money? Why do you think so?

Answers:

1.Yes, it is of great use. While it is true that often they may be making only a small, temporary difference to the lives of others, the overall effect of a society helping each other can be quite great. volunteering also makes a difference to volunteers, making them more aware of the needs of others.

2.I think all three are important. People should give what they have. Not everyone has money, but they may have time. On the other hand, some people have a lot of money to give, but are quite busy. Giving people things may not always be the best, as so often money is more useful – with money people can easily buy things they need. However, if the things are given with love and the things are given with love and the person receiving that gift can feel that love, then it is a good gift.

Activity 5

In groups, talk about ways to help others.

1. What kinds of help do you think people need?

 How do you think volunteers could help?

2. What kinds of skills and qualities could you offer as

    a volunteer?

Where would it be possible for you and your classmates to volunteer?

What kind of volunteer work could you and your classmates do, based on your group’s skills and qualities?

D: It isn’t true of mine either.

C: You know, there are a lot of empty plots of land in our city that are full of rubbish. We might try cleaning them  up.

D: The problem is that there are only a few of us. We don’t have enough people to do all that work.

A: Well, my advice would be to start a public campaign to  get others involved.
