I saw an advert about volunteering, you know, doing some unpaid work for charity, and I wanted to get some more information. 00:01:00,480 Sure. Can I take your name? 00:01:02,260 Yes, it's John Smith. 00:01:04,280 Well, hi John. My name is Karen, and I'm one of the advisors here at the Volunteer Center. What would you like to know? 00:01:11,240 Well, I've been thinking about volunteering for a while, but then I was put off as I heard that you need to give a minimum of ten hours a month. Is that right? 00:01:20,920 No, though we do say people have to give at least five hours a month. That way, both organization and volunteer benefit from the experience. 00:01:29,880 Right. Well, that'd be much more manageable, as I'm also studying full time. 00:01:35,480 Yes, many volunteers are students, and they seem to find that works for them. But can I ask, are you at university every day, as we really need people to volunteer in the week rather than over the weekend? 00:01:48,240 I was really hoping to be able to do Saturdays. 00:01:51,520 Oh, okay. Uh, just thought I'd ask. Now, what else did you want to know? 00:01:55,920 Well, there was one other thing that was worrying me. 00:01:59,260 What was that? 00:02:00,340 Well [chuckles] again, I've also heard that I would need to keep doing the job for ten weeks or more. Is that right? 00:02:07,400 Well, yes. This time your information is right. We ask for that as a minimum commitment, though many people carry on for years. It's a good amount of time for you to give it a fair go before you decided whether to continue or not. 00:02:20,900 Oh, I nearly forgot. Do I need to have my own car? 00:02:25,000 No, you don't need one. But if you have a driver's license, that's a bonus for some types of work. 00:02:30,780 Right. Well, that's good. So how do I find out what's available, and what about actually applying for a post? 00:02:38,260 We have a database here, so I can look now and see what posts come up. 00:02:42,620 Would I need to go there in person? 00:02:44,880 Not straight away. The first step is usually to fill in an application form. 00:02:49,420 Would I find that on the website? 00:02:51,280 Yes. You'll need to give your personal details and experience and so on. 00:02:55,960 What about photos? 00:02:57,660 They're not necessary, but you'll need a couple of references. 00:03:00,800 Okay. And what happens after that? Will there be an interview? 00:03:05,480 There might be, though that doesn't always happen. 00:03:08,500 So some accept you just like that? 00:03:11,080 Well, if they think you'd be good, then yes. 00:03:16,060 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. 00:03:48,240 Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 00:03:55,040 The search has come up with a few vacancies that should suit you if I give you the basic details. 00:03:59,880 Okay. 00:04:00,940 We have some work for volunteers who can offer domestic help. You'd be doing things like DIY, um, you know, putting up shelves and things, and you'd probably also be shopping for them, but not cooking. 00:04:12,780 And who would I be helping? 00:04:14,800 That depends, but it's often people who are sick. 00:04:17,860 Hmm, sounds interesting. Is there anything else I need to know? 00:04:22,560 Well, since these people can't get out much, they often enjoy having someone to talk to, so it helps if you're a friendly person who will chat with them. 00:04:31,040 Okay. And what about working in a charity shop? You know, where people donate stuff they don't need so the shop can sell it. 00:04:38,820 Yes, we do have a vacancy in one shop nearby. 00:04:41,640 Great. But it wouldn't be just making tea, would it? 00:04:45,260 No. You'd be doing things like arranging the displays in the windows, among other things. 00:04:50,120 Hmm. And which charity would that be for? Who would the money raised be helping? 00:04:55,500 It'd be for a charity that works to improve the lives of elderly residents in the area. 00:05:00,060 Right. I'd be happy to do that. 00:05:03,000 They also give you training on the job, so it can be really useful for people who want to work in customer service. 00:05:08,620 Oh [chuckles] well, that's a bonus. 00:05:11,240 Now, you might also be interested in volunteering to help the environment. 00:05:15,190 The environment? Hmm. Now that's something I hadn't thought of. What would I be doing? 00:05:21,260 To give you an example, it might include picking up rubbish from beauty spots in a national park. 00:05:26,520 Hmm. Sounds interesting. I like the thought of being outdoors. 00:05:30,960 Trips tend to take place over the weekend, but the bonus is accommodation is provided, even though it usually means you're sleeping in a tent. 00:05:38,770 [chuckles] Right. Well, I think I'd like some more informa- 00:05:45,560 That is the end of part one. You now have one minute to check your answers to part one. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
