Reading

Text 1 Volunteer work

1. You are going to read a text about volunteer work for young people. Choose form the list (A-G) the heading which fits each paragraph (1-6). there is one extra heading which you don't need to use.

1 ____________

It is a sweltering summer's day in a suburb of Africa, Ghana. Despite the heat, small teams of workers are labouring diligently over back-breaking tasks like shovelling sand, sawing wood and painting steel frames. All the workers are young people and their common goal is to create a children's playground here. But that's where the similarities end. Every one of the team comes from a different background and a different country. They are here as volunteer workers and they are enjoying the opportunity of a lifetime.

2 ____________

The Accra playground is just one of the hundreds of similar projects run by unity, a UK based charity that operates volunteer schemes for young people from all over the world. Unity was the brainchild of Eric Grisham. Fifteen years ago Grisham was a Maths teacher at a Birmingham college. He realised that many of his young students were looking for work experience, the chance to travel and an opportunity to help others. He also realised that around the world there were communities who desperately needed workers, but didn't have the funds to pay them. Eric's idea was simple:bring the young people and the disadvantaged communities together so that they can help each other. That's exactly what Unity does.

3____________

With projects of over forty countries across the globe, Unity volunteers can be posted in Armenia or Zambia or almost anywhere in between. Within the country, projects can be based in remote mountain villages or in deprived inner-city neighbourhood. And the work is just varied as the locations. It might be helping out at an orphanage in Bulgaria, working on an organic farm in Korea, building footbridges in Indonesia or rebuilding a school in Namibia.

4 ___________

To be eligible to volunteer you have to be aged between 16 and 30, be enthusiastic and have a genuine desire to make a difference. Until five years ago, Unity volunteers were mostly British youngsters, but Grisham has since opened the scheme globally and volunteers now come from all over the world. They come from all walks of life, too: rich and poor, university students and the unemployed, all are welcome on the scheme.

5___________

As they are volunteers, of course, there's no payment. Food and basic accommodation are provided, but that's all. Participants even have to pay their own airfares. So, why bother? In fact, the rewards are enormous. For many young participants it's the first time they have travelled abroad. They get to make friendships with people from cultures and social backgrounds other than their own. They learn new skills and discover talents they never knew they had. They gain valuable work experience and in doing so make themselves more attractive to future employers. Most of all, though, they do their bit to making a world a better place.

6___________

So, if you're wondering what on earth you're going to do with yourself now you've left school, why not do yourself a favour by doing others a favour? Find out more about Unity from their website at www.unityvolunteering.co.uk or call them on 2067345. you can also pick up an application form from your school career advisor or local job centre.

5) Find five adjectives that describe a career in the hospitality industry.

Hospitality may be one of the most exciting industries to work but as Asha Khan reports, it isn't an easy life.

The hospitality industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. It offers some exciting careers and a lot of job satisfaction. But it isn't easy working in a hotel – the peak holiday season is hard work, with employees often working long hours and sometimes seven days a week.

Teamwork

Every member of staff, from the housekeeper to the hotel manager, is responsible for the hotel. In smaller hotels and motels one manager is usually responsible for rooms, the food and beverage service, registration and general management. There is a wide variety of jobs in larger hotels, including administration jobs such as accountant and marketing executive.

Benefits

Hotel employees get paid sick leave and holidays as well as other benefits like free food and, occasionally, free holidays! Many hotels also offer free or cheap live-in accommodation and have resident managers and concierges.

People

The hospitality industry is different from other industries. Hospitality is people dealing with people, from the porter to the hotel manager. If you don't like people, this isn't the career for you.
