Quan: Hi, Hieu. I called you yesterday afternoon, but you didn't answer. Hieu: Oh, really? What time? 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 our 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! |
