Those were words I never expected to hear from my mum when I visited her in hospital. Mum has been sick for a long time now, and she often seemed sad and tired. I didn't expect to hear her laughing. It has been a long time since I heard my mum sounding so happy! But when I rounded the corner, I understood everything. Mum had a very unusual visitor-a dog! 在住院 很长时间 自从…… 已经很久了 A regular volunteer at the hospital, Anna, was there with her therapy dog, Banjo. Anna was kind enough to share her story with me. An animal lover from an early age, Anna has always had a dog or two at home since she was young. Often, just playing she was young. Often, just playing with them was enough to help her feel happy and relaxed after a long day. But one day, Anna realized that not everyone was lucky enough to have a pet. She started thinking: What could she do? Could she work with her own dogs to help others? 一名常规志愿者 足够友善去做…… 漫长的一天后 Before long, she found the answer. Today, Anna and Banjo often visit places like hospitals and nursing homes to bring a moment of joy to people who are sick, sad, lonely, or disabled. Banjo has worked as a therapy dog for almost three years. When people are stressed, it often takes them longer to get better. A therapy dog helps people feel better and be less stressed, often just by being there! At the hospital, Mum petted Banjo, gave him a snack, and even threw a small ball for him to catch. This made her forget that she was sick, if only for a moment. 去像…… 这样的地方 bring joy to… 给…… 带来欢乐 take longer to do… 花更长时间做…… throw a ball for sb.扔球给…… 接 For people like my mum, moments like this are very valuable. She always looks forward to my visits, but now she also looks forward to seeing Anna and Banjo again. If I'm lucky enough to have a dog of my own in the future, I'll try to volunteer just like Anna and Banjo! 期待…… 努力去做志愿者 of one’s own 属于某人自己的 Read the play and complete the summary. 1 Linda Mum Mum's doctor Anna Who What they said "I'm so happy Banjo and Anna visited my mum! " "I think therapy dogs are good for my patients. " "I'm taking Banjo to the hospital today." "I can't wait to see Banjo again next week!" "I wish everyone was lucky enough to have a dog!" Linda Mum's doctor Anna Mum Anna Discuss the questions. 2 1. How can therapy dogs help people to feel less stressed? Well, I think therapy dogs help people relax in really simple ways. Just being around a cute, gentle dog can make people forget their pain or worries for a little while. When patients pet the dog, give it snacks, or even play a small game like throwing a ball, it makes them feel happy and calm, which really lowers their stress. 2. What qualities do you think a therapy dog should have? First, a therapy dog has to be super gentle and patient—it can't get scared or snap at people, especially sick or nervous patients. It also needs to be calm and well-behaved, so it doesn't jump around or make noise in the hospital. And of course, it should be friendly and loving, so people feel safe and happy around it. 3. Can you think of any other ways to help people in hospital? Other ways to help people in hospital include: Reading books or telling stories to them Bringing small gifts (like flowers or cards) Listening to their worries and talking with them Organizing small activities (like drawing or singing) to cheer them up Helping with daily tasks (like getting water or adjusting the bed) 1. What kinds of volunteer work can people do? 2. Can you use the present perfect tense with since and for to express duration? 3. What features can you identify in a speech? 4. Can you explain why volunteering is important? 5. What have you done to help others? Can you talk about it? Reflecting The essence of life is to serve others and to do good. 1．Implement your action plan and keep a journal about your experience. 2．Write a reflection essay about what you have learned in this unit and how it has changed your thinking about volunteer work.
