A B 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! 感谢你们邀请我今天来跟大家聊聊蓝天救援队 我想从自己的故事讲起。 我和几个朋友在山里徒步 其中一个人摔倒了，头部受了重伤 我们必须尽快找到救援，于是拨打了急救电话 天已经黑了，我们连自己在哪儿都看不清 过了一会儿，我们听到了狗叫声和蓝天救援队队员的声音 我差点哭了出来。我们非常感激他们找到了我们！ 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 Türkiye! 我从未忘记那一天 从那时起，我就想帮助别人 2009年，我报名加入了蓝天救援队，从那以后我一直是一名志愿者 我们去过学校和社区，教孩子和大人如何保护自身安全、做好最坏的准备。 我们还在紧急情况下救人。 在自然灾害发生后，我们提供医疗救助、搜寻失踪人员 比如2013年的雅安地震和同年的菲律宾台风 2023年，我们甚至远赴土耳其参与救援！ 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. 做志愿者的工作教会了我很多实用的救生技能 它还帮助我理解了团队合作的力量，因为这是成功救援的关键 最重要的是，做志愿者让我懂得了每一个生命的价值。 The work is difficult. It’s 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’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. 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! 这项工作很艰难 它是志愿性质的，所以我们没有报酬 我们常常顾不上吃饭和睡觉。 但我们的首要目标始终是尽可能多地救人 我只是一个普通人，但我会冲进危险之中，就像蓝天救援队的其他每一位队员一样 对于我们所救的人和他们的亲人来说，我知道我们是他们的英雄 这让我们的付出都值得 我们想做更多，但我们无法独自完成 你愿意加入我们，成为志愿者吗？我们可以一起带来改变！ Language points 教材 P76 1b 1.
