What do you think the volunteers in blue are doing?In the first picture, the volunteers in blue might be giving first-aid training. They seem to be teaching people how to help someone who gets hurt. In the second picture, they could be having a safety class. Maybe they’re telling the audience how to stay safe during disasters, like earthquakes or floods. In the third picture, they are probably doing a rescue practice. They seem to be learning how to save people in dangerous situations.2. Have you heard any stories about Blue Sky Rescue?Yes, I have. My teacher told us a story. Last year, there was a big flood in a village. Blue Sky Rescue volunteers came quickly. They used boats to save people trapped by water. They worked for a long time and helped many families. They’re really brave!（答案均不唯一）Identifying the features of a speechA speech can start with a hook to make the audience curious about what the speaker will say next. A story, an interesting fact, or even a question can be a hook. A speech can also include a call to action by encouraging people to do something.1b Read the speech by a Blue Sky Rescue volunteer. What kind of hook does the speaker use? Which paragraph includes a call to action? Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to speak to you about Blue Sky Rescue today. Let me begin with my own story. Back in 2008, I was hiking in the mountains with some friends when one of them fell and got a bad head injury. We had to find help quickly, so we called an emergency number. It was already dark, and we couldn’t even see where we were. After some time, we heard dogs barking and the voices of the Blue Sky Rescue team. I nearly started crying. We were so thankful that they found us! I’ve never forgotten that day. Since then, I’ve wanted to help others too. I signed up with Blue Sky Rescue in 2009, and I’ve been a volunteer ever since. We’ve been to schools and other communities to teach children and adults how to stay safe and prepare for the worst. We’ve also rescued people during emergencies. We’ve provided medical aid and searched for missing people after natural disasters, like the 2013 earthquake in Ya’an and the typhoon in the Philippines in the same year. In 2023, we even helped in places as far away as Trkiye! Working as a volunteer has taught me many practical life-saving skills. It has also helped me understand the power of teamwork because it’s the key to successful rescues. Most of all, being a volunteer has taught me the value of every life. The work is difficult. It’s voluntary, so we aren’t paid. We often go without food or sleep. But our goal has always been to save as many people as we can. I’m just an ordinary person, but I’ll rush into danger, just like everyone else in Blue Sky Rescue. To the people we’ve saved and their loved ones, I know we’re their heroes. And that makes everything we do worth it. 思考：that 指代什么？“that”指代前面提到的“To the people we’ve saved and their loved ones, I know we’re their heroes.”We want to do even more, but we can’t do it all alone. Will you join us as a volunteer? Together we can make a difference! The speaker uses a story hook — starting with his personal experience of being rescued by Blue Sky Rescue in 2008. And the last paragraph includes the call to action.As a volunteer of Blue Sky Rescue, the author has done the following work except _______.①teach safety knowledge in schools ②participate in rescue work after natural disasters③provide salaries for volunteers ④provide emergency preparedness guide in communitiesA. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④B1c Read the speech again. Write the correct paragraph number next to each paragraph summary._______ The speaker shares what he has learnt from his volunteer experience._______ The speaker tells a story about how he got to know Blue Sky Rescue._______ The speaker invites the audience to volunteer with Blue Sky Rescue._______ The speaker greets the audience and thanks them._______ The speaker talks about the work the Blue Sky Rescue volunteers have done.123451d Read again and answer the questions.1. When did the speaker join Blue Sky Rescue? Why did he join the organization?In 2009. Because one of his friends was rescued by Blue Sky Rescue in 2008 and he wanted to “help others too” after that experience.2. What has he learnt from his volunteer experience?Practical life-saving skills, the power of teamwork and the value of every life.3. What are some difficulties the Blue Sky Rescue volunteers face?The work is difficult and voluntary (no pay) and they oftengo without food or sleep.4. Why is the speaker willing to put his life in danger?He believes in their mission to “save as many people as we can” and feels a sense of purpose — being a hero to those they save and their loved ones.5. What qualities do you think a Blue Sky Rescue volunteer should have?Selflessness, reliability, sense of teamwork and so on.1e How do you understand the sentences blow?

I’m writing to share an unforgettable experience I had.Last weekend, I joined an environmental protection volunteer activity in my community. Together with other volunteers, I spent hours cleaning up garbage in the neighborhood park. We collected all kinds of waste, from plastic bottles to paper. After that, we shared knowledge about environmental protection with local residents and encouraged them to do garbage sorting.Thanks to our efforts, the park looked clean and tidy at the end of the day. I felt really proud. I believe everyone’s small actions can make a big difference to our environment.Do you have any similar volunteer stories? I’m looking forward to hearing from you.Yours,Li Hua
