Please tell us if you have volunteered before. What did you do: 
When I was back home in my country, I volunteered once a month. I used to teach English to 
poor children in Mumbai.
Part 3: You are speaking to fellow members of the volunteer organization in a group 
chat. Respond to them in full sentences (30-40 words per answer). You have 10 minutes.
Emily: Hey! Welcome to the group. I like to help out at a homeless shelter. Where do you 
like to volunteer? 
Since I am a teacher, I really like to volunteer with children. Besides teaching at a home for 
poor children, I would also help out at schools with after-school activities like coaching sports 
and homework club.
Luc: I donate money to different charities. What charity organizations can you donate to in 
your area?
I think donating money is really important for international catastrophes, so I tend to donate 
to the Red Cross. Recently, I gave money to the relief program for Lebanon after the terrible 
explosion in Beirut.
Sylvie: I heard that the club is organizing weekly outings to volunteer.
What is your opinion on this? 
It is important for organizations to have regular volunteers, so I believe this is a great idea. 
However, I cannot commit to helping once a week because my schedule is too busy.
