Skills 6 Exercise 1D, page 112 Speaker 1 Last year I volunteered at an orphanage in Kenya.0:01
It was the most amazing experience.0:13
Volunteering makes you realize how lucky you are and teaches you to be grateful for what you have.0:17
The children at the orphanage were really sweet and I grew very close to all of them.0:23
When the time came to leave, I was really sad to say goodbye.0:29
I still send the kids postcards and letters in the mail and I write to the other volunteers who were at the orphanage with me.0:33
Speaker 2 this summer, I volunteered for two weeks at an orphanage in China.0:43
It was one of the best experiences of my life.0:50
I took lots of things from home to give to the children as presents.0:54
Things like board games, toys, and paints.0:59
It was so much fun watching the kids play with their new toys.1:03
Volunteering is very hard work, though.1:08
I loved the time I spent at the orphanage, but two weeks was enough for me.1:11
Many of the people I volunteered with stayed for longer than two weeks, but for me, two weeks was just the right amount of time.1:18
Speaker 3 Two years ago, I volunteered at a large orphanage in Brazil.1:29
I made friends from all over the world and had the chance to work with an amazing group of children.1:35
Volunteering is an incredible thing to do because when you volunteer, you aren't just a tourist.1:42
You actually feel like you're living in that country.1:48
The local people treat you differently too.1:51
They're so happy that you have come to help their community that they do everything to make you feel welcome.1:55
They treat you like you're a local, not just a tourist.2:01
Speaker 4 Last year I volunteered for a month at an orphanage in Vietnam.2:07
I chose a tiny orphanage in a mountain village in northern Vietnam.2:14
So I was really surprised to find lots of other foreign volunteers at the orphanage.2:17
There were people from Europe, Australia, and even South Africa, which was really great.2:22
I loved every minute of my volunteer experience.2:27
The children at the orphanage were all really happy and well looked after.2:30
I've already written to the manager of the orphanage to say that I want to come back next summer.2:34
Speaker 5 Last summer I volunteered at an orphanage in Thailand.2:41
My work at the orphanage was the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life.2:47
However, it was also the best experience of my life.2:52
I was only meant to spend a month at the orphanage, but when the time came to leave, I didn't want to.2:56
That's why I stayed for two months instead of one.3:02
The children at the orphanage were really happy to have me there and it felt great to see the smiles on their faces every day.3:05
I really recommend volunteering.3:12
