1/Each country has many good people who take care of others. For example, some of students in
the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or homes for the
elderly. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them
or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean
up, or repair their houses, do the shopping. For boys who don’t have fathers, there is an organization
called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to basketball games or on fishing
trips and help them to get to know things those boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play games. Some of these clubs
show movies or hold short trip to the mountains, the beaches, museums, or other places of interest.

2/ Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our jobs,
look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay healthy! Like many
of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a home and needed to lose weight.
So he decided to do something about it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each
day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does
the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've already
noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle washer. I
keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then I
generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day." The green washing
machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag. He normally
cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20 minutes to dry them. And it doesn't
use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could
become very popular. With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your
electricity bill, he may well be right.
