Imagine that you and your friend are doing a school project "Volunteering". You have found some photos to illustrate it but for technical reasons you cannot send them now. Leave a voice message to your friend explaining your choice of the photos and sharing some ideas about the project. In 2.5 minutes be ready to:
— explain the choice of the illustrations for the project by briefly describing them and noting the differences;
— mention the advantages (1–2) of the two types of volunteering;
— mention the disadvantages (1–2) of the two types of volunteering
— express your opinion on the subject of the project — which type of volunteering presented in the pictures you’d prefer and why.
You will speak for not more than 3 minutes (12–15 sentences). You have to talk continuously.
Hey, Kate. You know what? I’ve just found two illustrations suitable for our project "Volunteering". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
These pictures are relevant to our project because there are people volunteering. In one photo there are people collecting rubbish somewhere near the lake. In another picture there is a woman in an animal shelter taking care of a homeless dog.
There are a few differences to illustrate our project better. Obviously, the one picture presents eco-volunteering. However, another one depicts helping animal as a type of volunteering.
In my opinion, the two types of volunteering have their advantages. For instance, helping nature around us people make their environment cleaner. As for taking care of animals in shelters, this type of volunteering can help people relax after a busy day as animals there appreciate goodness. Of course, the two types of volunteering have their disadvantages as well. For instance, eco-volunteering depends on weather conditions and season. When the weather is bad or it’s cold collecting rubbish is not very pleasant activity. Meanwhile, homeless animals can be aggressive.
As for me, I’m allergic to dogs that is why I can’t help animals in a shelter. I prefer helping the environment as I consider it very important for our future. Moreover, I like living in the clean area.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-bye.
