We accompany the elderly and bring them warmth through caring activities. Volunteers need to chat with the elderly, help them with simple daily tasks (such as arranging clothes and reading newspapers) and organize small entertainment activities like singing and storytelling.
If you want to bring care and joy to the elderly and make their life more colorful, join us as a volunteer!

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?
What kinds of volunteer work can people do?
Volunteer work includes various in-person and online opportunities in fields like environmental conservation, animal care, healthcare, education and community development.
Environmental and Nature Conservation: Environmental volunteering contributes to sustainability through activities like reforestation, beach cleanups and sustainable education.
Animal Care: Animal-focused volunteering involves caring for shelter animals and providing companionship, ideal for animal lovers.
Social Services and Community Support: Volunteers assist vulnerable groups and help improve community infrastructure and local businesses.
Education and Tutoring: Volunteers can tutor children, read to students or teach vocational skills, with many opportunities available online.
2. Can you use the present perfect tense with since and for to express duration?
The use of FOR:
We use For when we measure the duration – when we say how long something lasts.
For + a period of time
(e.g., I have volunteered at the animal shelter for three years).
The use of SINCE:
Since gives the starting point of actions, events or states. It refers to when things began.
Since + a point in time (in the past), until now.
(e.g., She has been a volunteer since 2025).
Since can also be used in the structure It has been + period of time + since.
(e.g.,It has been two months since I became a member of a volunteer group.)
3. What features can you identify in a speech?
Key features of a speech include:
- Clear structure: Introduction, body (main points with evidence), and conclusion (summary, call to action).
- Audience adaptation: Language and content tailored to the listeners' background and interests.
- Rhetorical devices: Use of stories, questions, repetition, or emotional appeals to engage the audience.
- Delivery style: Tone, pace, and body language to reinforce the message.
- Purpose: To inform, persuade, inspire, or entertain (e.g., a volunteer recruitment speech aims to persuade people to join).
4. Can you explain why volunteering is important?
Volunteering is important for several reasons:
- Personal growth: It builds empathy, develops new skills, and boosts self-confidence.
- Community impact: It addresses social, environmental, and educational needs that formal systems may not fully cover.
- Social connection: It fosters a sense of belonging and strengthens community bonds.
- Global good: It supports causes like disaster relief, poverty alleviation, and environmental sustainability.
