文档介绍：Module 2 A Job Worth Doing
Volunteering to help others is an American tradition. It
began when settlers first arrived in America. They built
homes and did farm work together, especially during
harvest time.
The tradition has continued through the years as Americans
have volunteered in times of war, disaster and need .Even
today, Americans still help others .About 109 million
Americans volunteer each year—that’s 56 percent of adults
in America. Most people volunteer about hours each week.
Some assist kids with reading or math. Others work at animal
shelters and play with the cats or take the dogs for walks.
Volunteers clean up parks and highways and spend time in
hospitals or nursing homes. Before elections, they knock on
people’ s doors or call people to remind them to vote.
Volunteers work for things they believe in—like better schools
or safer streets.①Without the hours volunteers put in,
America would not be nearly as nice a place to live in.
Volunteering is a great way of getting involved. Most sporting
events would never be possible without the support of the
dedication of thousands of people.
Volunteering is a great way to gain work experience. When
young people leave school or university they may have great
academic qualifications but may lack the “work experience”
which employers often require. Being a volunteer provides
valuable work experience, although it’s not a paid role;②it
offers a variety of skills that could be of great value to any
employer,eg. working in a team, working unsociable hours,
attending training, dealing with people, using initiative, etc.
