Global Teen English Tutoring Program

Launched in 2022, the Global Teen English Tutoring (辅导) Program is an international volunteer project that connects teens aged 16-18 with young learners from underserved communities worldwide. It is not run officially, but it is supported by many non-profit organizations. Based in Budapest, Hungary, and operating online year-round, it aims to improve English proficiency (熟练) for children who lack access to quality language education. So far, over 300 teen volunteers from 20 countries have joined, helping more than 500 young learners build confidence in speaking and writing English. Volunteers need a B1 level of English proficiency and basic computer skills for online participation.

Program Arrangement

Online volunteers commit to one-hour weekly Zoom sessions for 8 weeks, pairingone-on-one with a young learner to practice daily conversations and basic grammar. In-person volunteers attend a two-week summer camp in Budapest, where they lead small group English activities and cultural exchange games. Both online and in-person volunteers receive a free training course before starting, covering teaching basics and cross-cultural communication skills. Coordinators will hold weekly check-ins to offer guidance and collect feedback to smooth tutoring progress for all participants.

Volunteer Options

College student Ian Vanveen, 20, got into woodworking as a way of budget management. “I didn’t have a whole lot of money,” he says, “so I decided to build what I wanted myself.” The mostly self-taught craftsman started off making furniture, but was eventually eager to do more. So Ian took a carpentry (木工) class to learn about different woods and their properties. He then decided to combine his new-found knowledge with his building skills and start making electric guitars.

The first electric guitar that Ian handled was his dad’s old band guitar. As a high school student at the time, Ian immediately felt a connection with the instrument, and got it in his brain to make his own guitar. So he got to work building. He took a bunch of used wood. “I just cut it up and glued all the pieces together,” he says. “It turned out really bad.”

Then he started crafting a second guitar while at college. This time he went in with a bit more planning. While a fan of the famous Les Paul guitar shape, the student found it “so thick and really uncomfortable”. He decided instead to create the thinnest guitar possible without having it warp (变形) over time. Another non-negotiable: Ian wanted the instrument to sound loud when he played it even when it wasn’t plugged into an amp (扩音器). His first step was drawing a model of the instrument using Adobe Illustrator. “I didn’t have any of the dimensions, really,” says Ian. “I just figured that out as I went.”

For this project, he used wood that’s known for its stability. He then took a couple of weeks to test its strength and see how thin he could get it while still bearing maximum string tension. “I got it down to an inch and an eighth,” he says. The guitar features a black-and-white color design, which Ian says was inspired by a photography class he was taking at the time.

Overall, the piece took Ian about five months to make, working mostly on weekends. He made it finally!

24. Why did Ian start to learn woodworking?

A. To cut his daily expenses. B. To finish course tasks well.

C. To create artistic furniture. D. To repair his father’s guitar.

25. What was wrong with Ian’s first guitar?

A. It was uncomfortably thick. B. It had an unsatisfying quality.

C. It lacked complete structures. D. It failed to match common tools.

26. What can we infer about Ian’s second guitar design?

A. It focuses on practicality. B. It pursues complex structure.

C. It follows traditional styles. D. It depends on external speakers.

27. Which is one of the lessons Ian’s story teaches us?

A. Inventions are often purely accidental.

B. Knowledge is useful only when applied.

C. Far-sighted thinking matters to humans.

D. Creativity means challenging authority.

More than 30,000 square miles of the Amazon have been lost since the 1970s. About 10,000 acres of forest have been destroyed every day since 1988.

Now scientists may have a “secret weapon” that could not only help reforest the Amazon, but other damaged forests around the world. And it comes from soil deep in the region’s past. The people living along today’s Amazonia ameliorated the originally poor soil over many human generations. The soils were enriched with charcoal (木炭) from low-intensity fires for cooking and burning rubbish, animal bones, broken pottery and so on. The fertile (肥沃的) result of these processes is Amazonian dark earth (ADE). According to a study, it now may help reforest the same area where it was created.

Researchers conducted controlled experiments in a lab. They sampled ADE and the control soil and filled 36 pots with about 6.6 pounds of soil inside a greenhouse with an average temperature of 94°F, representing future global-warming conditions beyond current average temperatures in Amazonia (between 71 and 82°F). One third of the pots only received the control soil, while another third received a 4 to 1 mixture of the control soil and ADE, and the final third received 100% ADE.

Following the experiment, the control soils contained fewer nutrients than they had at the start, which reflects uptake by the plants. However, the 100% ADE soils remained richer than control soils, while nutrient levels were
