VOCABULARY
Activity 1: Listen and read
Quan: Hi, Hieu. I called you yesterday afternoon, but you didn’t answer.

Quan: At about 2 p.m. What were you doing then?
Hieu: Oh,when you called, I was working. I volunteer every Tuesday afternoon at the Happy Mind Charity Centre. I teach children.
Quan: Really? Why?
Hieu: Because these children are disadvantaged. They have many problems and they need help.
Quan: What subjects do you teach them?
Hieu: Vietnamese and Maths.
Quan: It sounds interesting. How did you get the job?

Hieu: Just by chance. I was interested in doing volunteer work,so when I saw the advertisement for volunteer positions in the newspaper last summer, I applied and was chosen.
Quan: Oh, I see. Was the job easy at first?
Hieu: Not really. When I worked with them for the first time, many of them couldn’t read or write. Some of them were hopeless at Maths!
Quan: What did you do then?
Hieu: I got some useful advice from my teacher. It was really helpful. All of the children can read and write now.
Quan: Your job is very meaningful. I also want to do something useful for our society.
Hieu: Well, if you are interested in this kind of work, I will introduce you to my team leader.
Quan: That sounds great. Thanks for your suggestion! I’m very excited
