Question

Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off（停學(xué)） before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give up their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the country.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now she’s living in Belize. Pauline says, “These days, I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted (污染), the coral dies. I`ll help to do research(調(diào)查) on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.”

“I’m staying with a family here and I help to do some housework. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people and myself! When I finish my work, I will stay here for another three months because I want to travel around Belize and Central America”
