READING

Pág. 1
Read text A carefully.

My name is Theo and I'm a photographer. Photography has always been my passion.
As a child, I used to ask my parents to let me be the one to take photos at birthday
parties, picnics and other special occasions. My parents saw I was becoming good at it
and they were happy that I had a hobby. So, for my fifteenth birthday they bought me
a good-quality camera. I still have it, along with several others! Later I did a physics
degree at university, which helps but is not necessary to understand photography.

Most of my work these days is at weddings. I need good communication skills and I
must be patient, because clients are demanding and they want their photos to be
perfect. I also spend a lot of time travelling. However, other photographers need
different qualities. Some work with journalists and go to dangerous places, so they
need to be brave. The same is true for wildlife photographers, who have to get close
to dangerous animals, often in bad weather.

However, one thing is true for all photographers: we don't have fixed working hours. We need to be ready to
work at any time of the day. Still, the pay is good and I feel very lucky to have my hobby as my job. I suppose
it's all thanks to my parents encouraging me!

Volunteer ideas for teens

Unpaid work can help you learn new skills, understand
more about the workplace, and – best of all – give you
something to put in your CV when you’re looking for a
job in the future. Many communities have a volunteer
centre that can help you find that perfect volunteer
opportunity. Opportunities include recycling centres,
hospitals, museums, summer camps, and libraries.
Search online or call your city or town hall to see if there’s
a volunteer centre in your community. Ask to speak to the
volunteer director or the volunteer coordinator.
Summer Camps
You might want to find out about the counselor-in-training
programme at a camp you’ve attended.
Hospitals
Interested in medicine? Enjoy helping people? Then volunteering at your local hospital
might be just the thing for you. Just call a hospital in your area and ask to speak to the
volunteer coordinator or the director of volunteers.
Museums and aquariums
Museums and aquariums are great places to learn but many also offer volunteer opportunities
for kids and teens. Call the museum or aquarium in your area to find out what’s available
and what the requirements are. Opportunities vary greatly from museum to museum.
