Thanks for coming today and for your interest in volunteering abroad. 00:00:07,300 For those that don't know much about our company, Time Abroad, let me start by telling you a bit more. 00:00:15,240 Time Abroad is one of the largest volunteer abroad organizations in the UK. 00:00:21,330 The company was founded in two thousand. In two thousand and seven, the company grew by joining with another company, PT Travel, making us even larger. 00:00:33,760 In two thousand and fourteen, we sent ten thousand people abroad on a variety of service projects and internships overseas, more than any other company. 00:00:45,800 All participants receive the best support from our full-time professional staff to ensure that the experience is safe, worthwhile, and fun. We have lots of very experienced staff working for us. We have around a hundred and fifty full-time staff members, many of whom are former volunteers themselves, inspired by their own experience. 00:01:10,320 Some of these people are even part of the original groups of volunteers back in the early nineties. About seventy-five of those staff are not located in the UK at all and spend their whole time in another country supporting the volunteers. 00:01:26,370 They are experts on the local communities you are working in, having spent their whole lives there. 00:01:33,360 They have vast experience in fields such as community development or education. 00:01:39,180 The times that volunteers join the program vary a lot. Some join in July because they have just finished studying at college or university and want to do some volunteering before they move on to work or further study. The winter months are also popular because people want to escape the cold weather in the UK. 00:01:59,120 But there are no set start dates, and programs run continuously throughout the year, so the majority of volunteers start when it is best for them. Time Abroad is an entirely independent organization which does not receive any funding from religious bodies, political parties, development organizations, or other sources. 00:02:21,260 And of course, we don't request money from our partner organizations in the developing world. 00:02:27,300 All our work is a hundred percent funded through your contributions as a volunteer. 00:02:32,960 We do get help from the government, but that is from reduced business taxes, not financial contributions. It is this financial independence that gives us the freedom to set up projects wherever we think it may be useful and where we think that our volunteers can make a valuable contribution. 00:02:52,040 Before you listen to the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions fifteen to twenty. 00:03:00,200 Now listen to questions fifteen to twenty. 00:03:05,960 Now I'm going to tell you about some of the more popular opportunities in a bit more detail. 00:03:12,080 One of the most popular volunteering choices is teaching. You'll find a warm welcome awaits you from our students around the world. 00:03:21,049 The main thing you will do is assisting with English conversation, because although the local teachers are very capable of teaching the structural aspects of the English language, such as the grammar, they do not use the correct intonation or pronunciation because they lack the confidence of a native speaker. 00:03:39,800 By providing conversational English teaching, you can greatly enhance the learning experience of thousands of children and adults with whom we work in the developing world. You can also volunteer in agriculture and farming. Access to safe and healthy food is a major concern of any society. 00:03:59,380 Volunteers work on a farm with the aim of promoting sustainable local food sources and responsible farming. Using pesticides and other destructive agricultural techniques can have a long-term negative impact on the environment and threaten the future well-being of whole regions. 00:04:17,860 Time Abroad's agricultural and farming projects focus on organic farming practices and educating local communities on their benefits. 00:04:27,960 You could also volunteer in the field of veterinary medicine. If you do this, you will be working alongside a vet in a local veterinary practice. 00:04:37,820 You will help the vet when people bring in sick animals or join the vet on visits to people's houses or other places. 00:04:45,560 You will gain fantastic insight that would not be possible in your own country. You are likely to see many exciting types of animals like snakes, big cats, or even elephants. And you will develop a better understanding of the problems people are faced with in both urban and rural areas of the Third World. 00:05:05,760 So I hope that's helped you to learn a bit more about Time Abroad. Does anybody have any questions? 00:05:12,940 That is the end of part two. ## 题目与答案 ### 11. 11 The company expanded in 11 The company expanded in - 2007 - 2014 - 2000 **答案**：2007 原文定位：The company was founded in two thousand.
