At the same time, some students volunteer to visit the elderly at nursing home, where they present the elderly with flowers and self -made cards to show respect and love. Then the students will do some cleaning and washing for the elderly with the help of the nurses. As some elders feel lonely, students chat with them about their old days, changes of our city, or anything they are interested in. What’s more, they also give them some performances, such as singing, dancing and so on, which bring great happiness to the elderly.
If you have some more questions, please let me know.
Best wishes!
                                                                 Yours,

M: I'd like you to go to the grand opening of the Ice Festival.

M: Linda is very quiet. But her brother talks too much.
W: Yes, you are right and he isn't friendly either.
Text 4
M: Tina, make sure that you have everything ready for the interview before we are far away from home.
W: That really reminds me. I left my application form on my table when I rushed out of the house just now.
Text 5
M: What would it be like working with those young stars?
W: It was a great group. I always got mad when people said that we didn't get along. Just because we were girls, there was never a fight. We had a great time.
Text 6
W: Excuse me. I was wondering if you have any idea who owns that car. I've noticed it's been parked illegally with its windows open for the last two days. I'm thinking about calling the police.
M: No, I don't know anything about that car. I agree with you that it is kind of strange for it to be sitting there like that, though.
Text 7
W: Can you give me something for an upset stomach, please? I'm on holiday, and I think it's the change of water.
M: Yes, these tablets should settle your stomach. Just one tablet (药片) a day for three days. And if you still feel bad, you should see a doctor.
W: Thank you. And can you give me something for sunburn? My little boy was out in the park all day yesterday.
M: This after-sun cream is good. But you should always put on some cream before you go out in the sun as well.
W: Yes, I'll take some of that, too.

M: Hey, Julie. You'll have to go to Toronto in two weeks.
W: What's my objective there?
M: To help the branch office there budget for the coming year.
W: How long will I stay there?
M : You can finish within a week if two of you are working on it. And you'll have another week to relax there.
W: Who should I contact when I arrive?
M: My secretary will tell you the details in two days.
W: And who will cooperate with me?
M: Jodie. Book your flight tomorrow.
W: OK. Keep me informed.
Text 9
M: Good morning. Can I help you?
W: Yes, I'm wondering if you need volunteers.
M: We don't have many volunteers at this center. Most young people in the area want to volunteer at the library or tutor kids. Is this for a school project?
W: No, I'm just here because I want to help. I have references from my teachers if you want to see them.
M: OK. Well, we have about 50 senior citizens who live here year-round. We have nurses to bring them their medicine and give them baths, but they do get very bored.
W: Oh, I can help with that. I can read novels to them, or we can play games…
Text 10
W:   When I was younger I felt I ought to do all the cleaning, shopping and ironing myself, but now I don't. I have a pressured but well-paid job, so I can pay someone else to do these chores(家务) so that I'm free to do the things I enjoy, like cooking. I have a cleaner who comes three mornings a week and she also does the ironing.
Coming home to a clean kitchen is wonderful, better than any facial or massage(按摩) treatment, and well worth the money. Recently, I decided to cut out my weekly supermarket visit too, and now have organic food delivered. I use local shops for other groceries, so I never have to go to the supermarket at all now. Although I like shopping for clothes, having my house cleaned is more important to me.
