C1 Writing | Cambridge Masterclass
Now have a go at writing a response to this question yourself.
Your class has listened to a radio discussion about the value of young people doing
voluntary work in the community. You have made the notes below:
Benefits of voluntary work:
• Meet different people
Some opinions expressed in the discussion:
• Gain work experience
• Contribute to society “It might be a good thing if you don’t have lots of friends!”
“A good idea for young people to gain work experience but
what about the cost?”
“I’m sure it must feel really satisfying to have done your bit
and contributed to something which helps people.”
Write an essay discussing two of the benefits of voluntary work. You should explain
what the most significant benefit of voluntary work is, giving reasons in support of
your answer.
You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the discussion, but you
should use your own words as far as possible.
Highlight or underline the important words.
