 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
For years, charities across the globe have been encouraging students to join their volunteering
programmes to help make a difference in the world. Volunteers are an integral part of any charitable
organization; without them, there would be no charity. Not only can volunteering benefit a wealth of causes,
but it can also boost a student’s prospects once they head out into the working world.
Volunteering can be a humbling experience, allowing you to see the world in a different way. Whether
you agree to volunteer for a number of consecutive months or a day a week, the impact you have could be
life-changing. There’s also a strong sense of achievement and pride that comes with generously giving up
your time for a worthy cause.
[I] When it comes to volunteering, there are countless opportunities at home or away. [II] Many students
choose to volunteer abroad to experience a new culture and learn more about other countries. It can be a
wonderful way to experience another country, with support and guidance during the stay of the organizations.
[III] Volunteering overseas involves more group-based work than volunteering at home. [IV]
At home, opportunities are likely to be helping with youth clubs, childcare support, medical support or
charity shops. Working for a cause while at home will allow for flexibility around a student’s timetable, they
may be able to give up some of their spare time at the weekend or a few hours in the evening.
