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 two thousand and eight, 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. There 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 two thousand and nine, 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 twenty thirty earthquake in yan and the typhoon in the Philippines in the same year in twenty twenty three. We even helped in places as far away as took year. 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, is voluntary, so we aren't paid. We often go without food or sleep, but our primary goal has always been to save as many people as we can. I'm just an ordinary person, but i've rush into danger, just like everyone else in blue sky rescue to the people we've saved and their loved ones. I know we are their heroes, and that makes everything we do worth IT. 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.

Helping others makes a difference in many ways. For the people being helped, it can ease their troubles, give them hope, and even change their lives. For the people who help, it brings a sense of satisfaction, happiness, and a stronger sense of self-worth. It also makes society warmer and more connected by spreading kindness and encouraging more people to care for eavh other.
Helping others helps people in need get through hard times. Meanwhile, we gain happiness and a sense of achievement ourselves. Besides, small kindness builds a warmer society.
Q1--From the picture, we can see different scenarios(情景):
In the first picture, they are providing help and care to people in need( maybe victims of an emergency or disaster).
In the second picture, they are giving safety or rescue training/education to students.
In the third picture, they are carrying out search and rescue operations in a disaster-stricken area(like a collapsed building site)
So overall, the volunteers in blue are performing rescue missions, providing emergency aid, and teaching people safety knowledge.
Q2--Yes, I have. Blue Sky Rescue is a well-known volunteer rescue organization in China. They often participate in various rescue operations, such as searching for missing people in the wild, providing aid during natural disasters (like floods, earthquakes), and offering free first aid and safety training to the public.
For example, during floods in some southern areas, they risked their lives to rescue trapped residents and deliver supplies. They also go to remote schools to teach children how to protect themselves in dangerous situations.

Hello everyone, I'd like to share my thoughts on these three sentences.
First,"Help others, help yourself," Helping people not only makes them happy, but also brings us joy and satisfaction. Kindness often comes back to us.
Second, "The rose in your hand, the sweet smell in mine."It means when we do something kind for others, we also feel warm and good inside. Good deeds benefit both sides.
Third, "Today you, tomorrow me." No one can be strong all the time. When we help others now, we build a caring world where we can also get help when we need it.
All three sentences tell us: helping others is helping ourselves, and kindness goes around. Thank you.

人生的真谛,在于服务他人,行善向善。
Good morning/afternoon, everyone. Today I want to talk about what we've learned in this unit about volunteering.
First, there are many kinds of volunteer work people can do. For example, we can help elderly people in the community, take care of homeless animals, clean up parks, teach children new skills, or work in hospitals and libraries.
Second, we learned how to use the present perfect tense with "since" and "for" to talk about duration. We use "since" with a specific time point, like "I have volunteered at the animal shelter since 2024." We use "for" with a period of time, like "I have helped clean the park for three months."
Third, we talked about what makes a good speech. A good speech has a clear beginning, a clear body, and a clear ending. It uses simple language and a friendly tone so the audience can understand easily.
Fourth, we learned why volunteering is important. It helps people in need, makes our community better, teaches us new skills like teamwork and responsibility, and helps us make new friends. It also makes us feel happy to help others.
Finally, I want to share what I have done to help others. I have visited elderly people in my neighbourhood since last year. I have helped them clean their rooms and taught them how to use smartphones. I have also picked up litter in the local park for two months. These experiences have taught me to be more patient and kind.
