A2 Key - Reading Matching Exercise 15

Helping Others

David

I'm David, and I spend my weekends doing voluntary work at the local animal shelter. I've always loved animals. This work feels rewarding. Seeing the animals find new homes is the best part. My colleagues are surprised by how much time I dedicate, but it's worth it. Last year, I helped organise a fundraising event. It was a big success and we raised a lot of money to help us run the shelter.

Emily

Hi, I'm Emily. I volunteer at a community library. I've been doing it for a year now. I help organise events and sort books. It's a way to give back to my community. My friends volunteer in different places, so we share our experiences. Last month, I helped set up a reading programme for the local kids. It's amazing to see them getting excited about books. My parents are proud of my commitment to volunteering.

Frank

My name is Frank, and I do voluntary work in a local soup kitchen. I started a few months ago. It's important to help those in need. I cook and serve meals. The gratitude from people we help is amazing, they really appreciate it. My work colleagues sometimes join me. Last Christmas, we served a special meal. It was a day I'll never forget. My partner is also involved in charity work, so we understand each other's passion for helping others.
