8、ping others.What is volunteer? Volunteers are not paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless. There are many volunteers working in different mountainous areas or developing countries.Papua New Guinea is an island nation that takes up the eastern half of the island of New Gu

9、inea along with some smaller islands. It is located just to the north of Australia. About eight million people speaking about 820 languages live in this nation, most in small villages in remote jungles. As the interior of Papua New Guinea is one of the least explored areas on the earth, it is though

10、t that there are numerous uncontacted people groups there. As a developing country, 40% of the population is self-sustainingthey raise or gather their own food and everything they need for their existence, and have little or no experience of having money, getting a salary, or buying things in shops.

11、 The countrys literacy rate is about 64%. Though education is provided for free, it is not compulsory, and many communities do not have schools. Many schools have volunteer groups teaching languages, games and sports, construction, medical work or environmental conservation.A young Australian, Jo, w

12、orked for two years as a volunteer teacher in Papua New Guinea. What challenges do you think she might have faced?It would be hard to get used to living without a TV, computer, or other modern conveniences. The food and overall lifestyle might also be a challenge, as it is so different from her coun

If it is difficult or contains useful details, read it a bit slower and try to understand more.Reasons why someone would read some parts of a passage more slowly than others:It contains words and concepts that are more di

15、fficult to understand. It is packed full of detailed information. The language is beautiful or enriching and the reader may want to savour the enjoyment of reading it. 1. What does Jo mainly talk about in her blogs? Her experience of voluntary teaching at a bush school and a visit to a local family,

16、 the challenges she met, and the positive aspects of her voluntary work. She also shared her feelings and attitudes to her voluntary work, the people, and the life there.2.

It took about two weeks to arrive, and it was a bit damaged, but it was so nice to get some sweets and jam from home; Ive been dying to have some of my favourite sweets, and its always nice to get mai

20、l!So Ive been here in the jungle for about a month now. My secondary school is a bush school. The classrooms are made of bamboo, with clay floors and roots of grass. It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a dusty track covered in weeds. When I reach the school grounds, Im greeted by a

21、 chorus of “good morning” from the boys. Unlike students in our country, these boys do not wear cotton uniforms, and many of them also have to walk a long way, sometimes for up to two hours, just to get to school.Theres no electricity, running water or even textbooks, not to mention laptops, tablets

22、, or other modern devices! All the students have are pencils, rubbers, and paper. Im still trying to adapt to these conditions. Ive had to become much more imaginative in my teaching. Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments. There is no equipment, a

23、nd since there isnt even a washroom, if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a basin! Its important not to be too rigid about rules here, too. The other day I was showing the boys a chemistry experiment when, before I knew it, the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube spilling everyw

24、here! The class became a circus as the boys, who had never come across anything like this before, started jumping out of the windows. Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these studentsfew will ever become chemistsand most will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway. To be ho

25、nest, I doubt whether Im making any difference to these boys lives at all.1. How did Jo feel when receiving the parcel from home?She was excited to receive the parcel. 2. Which expression shows her feeling?. it was so nice to get some sweets and jam from home . Ive been dying to have some of my favo

26、urite sweets, and its always nice to get mail!3. Why would Jo feel that way? What can you infer from the reasons?Because she is expecting the parcel and eager to receive it. It reflects the inconvenience of transportation and express delivery, as well as the lack of essential supplies. Para 1 a parc

30、 village, home to one of our students, Tombe. Another teacher and I walked for two and a half hours to get therefirst, up a mountain from where we had fantastic views, and then down a shaded path to the valley below. When we arrived at the village, Tombes mother, Kiak, saw us coming and started cryi

31、ng “ieee ieee”. We shook hands with all the villagers. Everyone seemed to be related to Tombe.Tombes father, Mukap, a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead, led us to his house, a low, round bamboo hut with no windows, with a door just big enough to get through, and with grass sticking out o

32、f the roofthis shows it isa mans house. Such housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyesto adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to sleep on. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut. The only possessions I could see were one broom, a

33、few saucers, a kettle, cups, pans, and a couple of jars. Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat. He then placed the hot stones in an empty oil drum with kau kau (sweet potato), ripe corn, and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam. It smell

34、ed delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family talking softly to each other in their language, even though I could not participate much in the conversation. Luckily, Tombe interpreted for us. Later, I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill over t

35、he fire. After a while, Tombe threw it out of the doorway. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. His family believes that leftovers attract bad spirits in the night, so any leftover food is dried up in a can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.We left the village

36、the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes. My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we dragged ourselves down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into bed. It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombes family.destination_s homea _ villagecompaniondis
