Tam: Oh, when you came, I was working as a volunteer at our local centre for
community development.
Kim: Ah, I see. How did you become a volunteer there?
Tam: Just by chance. Last summer, while I was visiting the centre, I saw an
advertisement for volunteers. I applied and my application was successful.

Tam: I agree. Community service not only benefits the local area, but can also boost our
confidence and help us learn many useful skills

a local environmental group to clean up the park once a week or volunteer at an
orphanage.
Kim: Sounds good. How can I apply?
Tam: I'll email you the form. You just fill it in and send it in.
Kim: Thanks so much. I'm so excited about volunteering at the centre.
