Exercise 8: Reading the following passage and decide if the following statements are
True or False.
For people who want to start 2022 by matching their good intentions with genuinely
beneficial actions, I’ve come up with some general principles of volunteering that will make
a tangible difference. It’s not useful to think of oneself simply as a socially aware person
who’s willing to just do anything for anyone - any charity, any cause, it doesn’t matter, as
long as it helps. It’s much more constructive to research and approach some initiatives, large
or small, whose work you have learned about and are interested in, whose services are
clearly streamlined and whose locations are convenient for you. Once you’ve chosen some,
contact them and offer specific skills that you yourself have developed to

excellence. Don’t give the person answering the phone or email the extra work of coming up
with stuff for you to do or suggesting solutions by saying you’ll do “whatever you need”.
It’s arrogant, not humble, to suggest that.
Be led by your education, training, natural proficiency and professional experience,
rather than any romantic notions or saintly visions of yourself randomly doing good for
grateful recipients. Charities are desperate for committed, quality people who can provide
reliable legal advice, medical or general health advice, physical therapy of any kind, admin
and secretarial work, accountancy and financial advice, form-filling assistance and
bureaucratic knowledge.

Exercise 9: Fill in the blank with ONE suitable word.
I (1) always been very fit and healthy, and I have (2)
had a serious illness. However, a couple of weeks (3) , I caught the flu. I must
admit that until then, I (4) not realised just how unpleasant the flu could be. 1 had
a high temperature for nearly a week, and my whole body hurt. I don’t think I have (5)
felt so miserable. It’s taking me ages to get my strength
back. It really bothers me that I haven’t had enough energy to play football (6)
I got ill. In fact, I have (7) been to the doctor to ask
if it’s normal to feel weak for so long.
He says I’ll soon feel better. Apparently I’m lucky. For some people, especially the old
and the weak, the flu can be very serious. Doctors have tried (8) years to find
a cure for the flu, but they haven’t found one (9) . Fortunately,
