2. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.. (ex 15-16)
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. (1) Its purpose is toward the poorest members of the
community.(2) Both staff and volunteers also pay special attention to women’s roles in development projects.(3) 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.(4)
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.(5) The range of jobs
required of VSO is wide, reflecting the needs of any society in the modern world.

1. 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
2. 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

4. What happens when VSO wants to appoint new volunteers?
