VOLUNTEER WORK
Each nation has many people who voluntarily take care of others. For example, many high
school and college students in the United States often spend many houses as volunteers in
hospitals, orphanages or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places.
Sometimes the students just visit them, play games with or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers work in the homes of sick or old people. They clean up their houses, do
their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is a voluntary
organization called Big Brothers. College students take these boys to baseball games and help
them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Volunteers belive that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring
happiness to others.

SPRING SCHOOL
Spring school is an informal school. It provides classes to disadvantaged children in Ho Chi
Minh city. Around 30 street children live and study at school and about 250 children with special
difficulties from district 1 regularly attend classes.
The Organization for Education Development co- operated with Spring School to set up
English classes in 1998. Dance, theatre, singing and circus classes were set up a year later.
Children from these classes participate in fundraising performances. They raise money to
continue their English and performance Arts classes.
Spring school requires volunteers to help organizes their fundraising dinner held annually in
June. This is an exciting night in which children perform circus, theatre, dance, and singing at
one of the largest hotels in Ho Chi Minh city. They also need foreign volunteers to contact
sponsors and help to expand the school required from February until July to help organize these
events.
It is hoped that more schools like Spring School will soon be found in other cities in Viet

THE QUIZ SHOW

My best friend Jenny appeared on a TV quiz show a few nights ago. It was very exciting.
We all knew that she would be on, so all our friends met at her parents house to watch it. Her
parents videoed it too, of course. The programme started at half past seven. We screamed and
clapped when we saw Jenny. She looked great. She had had her hair done, and was wearing the
new top she had bought the day before. She sat in the chair in the middle of the studio while the
presenter asked her some questions. The questions got harder and harder as they increased in value
If she didnt make any mistakes and get the most difficult question right, she would win a million
pounds. By this time, Jerry had won a thousand pounds. That was definitely hers, whatever
happened. She answered the next question correctly, which was worth five thousand pounds. I
didnt know the answer, but she did know! Then with the next question, she took a risk but got the
answer wrong. She was gone out of the game. Still, she had her thousand pounds, and we were
very proud of her.
Answer the questions
1/ What is the name of the writers best friend ?
2/ How was a TV quiz show a few nights ago ?
3/ Why was she Jerry gone out of game?....................................................................
4/ Did she still have five thousand pounds?

February 14 is a Valentine Day. We celebrate Valentine day by giving flowers, gifts, and
cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering, Who is
Saint Valentine?
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest in Rome in the third century. There was an
Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II was recruiting a large of
men to serve as soldiers for his wars without much success. The men preferred not to leave their
wives, families, and sweethearts to fight in foreign lands. Claudius became angry and declared
that no more marriages could performed and all engagements were canceled. Valentine thought
this to be unfair and secretly married several couples. When Claudius found out, he threw
Valentine, where he died.
Another legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his
jailers daughter. Before he was put into death, he sent the first valentine himself when he
wrote her a letter and signed it Your Valentine, words still used on cards today.
Perhaps well never know the true story behind the man named Saint Valentine, but February
has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating back to the Middle Ages. In fact,
Valentine Day ranks second only to Christmas in the number of the greeting cards sent.
1. People express their love to each other on Valentine Day.
2. Valentine was put in prison because he loved a jailers daughter.
3. People have celebrated Valentine Day since the Middle Age.
4. Valentine died in prison.
