A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated
village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from' a rich country, I got quite a shock
as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there. The
people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside
was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the
women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted
organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it
worked first time. It wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers,
who had never had running water before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was
hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day. All in all, I think .my time with OV was a good
experience. Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone
who was considering working for a charity.

A. has been working for OV for a year B. is living in the capital N'Djamena
C. was born in a rich family D. used to be a volunteer working in a remote village

B. The villagers used to live in conditions without running water.
C. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes.
D. Solar energy was used to heat water.
Question 49: The word 'It' in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. running water B. the pump C. the pine line D. the supply of water
Question 50: What does the author think about his time with OV?
A. It was paid a lot of money. B. It was not worth working.
C. It wasted time. D. It provided good experience.

This is part of a report by the Chairman of the Charities Committee of a Club.
By Match this year, we shall have raised enough money, we hope, to buy the equipment for the Youth
Club. When we have raised the money, we are planning to go back to the Youth Club leaders in order to
discover exactly what is needed most. Plans have been made for the Book Sale which will be held on 15th
February, This means that many of us will be spending the first two weeks of February collecting books.
The event is likely to be held in the Town Hall. If there are problems here, however, we hope that other Club
members might come up with some alternative suggestions.
As we are proposing to sponsor a student from Africa on a three-month language course in this country,
we also intend to hold a Charity Dance in the spring. Such events are apt to be difficult to organize, so all
members of the Club are invited to contribute or help in any way they can.
The moment I was asked if we could possibly help in some way with the new Club for the Disabled. I
said yes. As Chairman, lam bound to say that this is the sort of social work many Club members would like
to do, other than simply raising money. We are therefore planning to ask members if they can perhaps help
out 'on one Saturday every month (on a rota basis).
Finally, by January next year the Club will have been going for twenty years, and the Committee intend
to mark this anniversary with some kind of dinner, a dance or a party. We have already been offered
(unofficially) the use of the dance all at 'The Forest Hotel'. However, we shall be devoting one of our
meetings in the near future to full discussion on the form of the event, etc. Any suggestions will be welcome.

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of

Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)
VSO is a registered charity dedicated to assisting in developing countries. It is a recruitment agency
which finds, selects and places volunteers in response to overseas requests.
This work makes it distinctive among other charities and organizations in the UK. It sends people, not
money, so it tries to respond to requests from overseas which ask for volunteers. Its purpose is toward the
poorest members of the community. Both staff and volunteers also pay special attention to women’s roles in
development projects. This is because women’s roles in child-rearing, in education and community
relationship are essential in any healthy process of change.
Over the past 38 years, more than 21.000 volunteers have worked abroad with VSO. There are now over
1,900 volunteers working in 59 of the less developed countries in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the
Caribbean.
The application of each volunteer is carefully considered in order to select and interview candidates
against each job request from the field, to look for the person with the right blend of skills and personality.
VSO volunteers do not go to developing countries as visiting experts with all the answers. It is always a
process of sharing and learning. The aim is that when the volunteer returns home, there exists a community
with a stronger sense of independence, and a volunteer with a new understanding of life and people
everywhere. The range of jobs required of VSO is wide, reflecting the needs of any society in the modern
world.
Question 46: VSO is different from other charities and organizations in the UK because it .
A. is a registered body
B. sends financial aid to developing countries
C. sends volunteers to help abroad
D. recruits volunteer to work in Britain
Question47: Requests from overseas most likely to be dealt with are those which .
A. specially ask for female staff and volunteers
B. require volunteers to work with the local inhabitants
C. require help and advice on health care
D. need help to train less wealthy members of the community
Question 48: According to those who work for VSO, who plays the most important part in bringing about
change?
A. charitable organizations B. volunteers from abroad
C. women in local communities D. staff who recruit volunteers
Question 49: What happens when VSO wants to appoint new volunteers?
A. They give preference to applicants living abroad.
