【題目】Why Volunteer?

Teacher: Thank you, Mary and Mario, for agreeing to speak to Grade 8 students about volunteering! Please tell us how and why you do it.

Mary: To volunteer means to carry out a duty or job without expecting payment.

Mario: In some places, the idea of working without being paid is thought to be a bad use of time, but we don't think so!

Mary: There are many benefits (好處) to gain through volunteering. You can really make a difference in other people's lives, and there is little or no training involved (涉及)!

Mario: When you volunteer to help out a friend, teacher or parent, you are seen as helpful and caring. For example, if you help the teacher clean up the classroom, she will see you as more mature(成熟的) and respectful (有禮貌的).

Mary: Yes, and volunteering for an organization or group that cares for disabled children cheers them up. The same is true for lonely people at an old people's home. So is spending time to fix or repair people's homes.

Mario: By volunteering, you not only gain experience, but also learn a variety of new interests and skills. You will learn to understand the lives of others.

Mary: You can learn to be brave and independent. You can learn how to effectively talk with and make friends with people you don't know.

Members of an international organization are called the Global Greeters. They offer travelers the chance to get to know a city as well as local people do.
Unlike the professional guides(專業(yè)導游), the volunteer greeters act more like neighbours. They take visitors to visit the city–either on foot or public traffic—to discover favourite neighbourhoods, cafes and parks.
All the programs work a little differently, but the basics(基本項目) are the same. The tours are free and last anywhere for two or four hours. Volunteers can be all ages, and their ages and interests try to match the travelers.
New York City(USA)
Big Apple Greeter is the pioneer “welcome visitor” program founded in 1992 by New Yorker Lynn Brooks. More than 300 volunteers now can welcome guests from all over the world in 22 languages. Greeters explain the New York City subway and bus systems and show guests around one or more of their favourite neighbourhoods. Like many greeter organizations, Big Apple accepts online donations to help with its daily costs.
Houston(USA)
Houston Greeters will organize activities such as golf, biking or an outing to an Astros game(太空人隊的比賽). Another activity is to arrange a tour in need of a particular interest.
Chicago(USA)
Chicago Greeters help visitors visit one of the city's many famous neighbourhoods. The group organizes walks through Ukrainian Village on the Near North Side and Andersonville, home to Scandinavian restaurants and shops and Middle Eastern bakeries. Guides will also organize tours around themes such as fashion, film or public art.
France
In France, English speaking volunteers for Parisien d'un Jour lead visitors through hidden corners of Paris, often ending with a lively discussion on a café balcony. Guides in Lyon organize walks around themes such as shopping, markets and sports.
