TASK 4. Read the text and choose the correct answer A, B or C to each question

Studies have shown volunteering can have lifelong benefits for youth and help develop skills that will benefit them in life, school, and future career. First, volunteering can lead to a greater feeling of self-worth because helping others can help teens reflect on what they have and become more empathetic to everyone in their lives.

People who volunteer when they are young are more likely to volunteer and donate to non-profit and charity funds when they are older. Moreover, volunteering can also help teens academically. There is a positive link between students who earn good grades and those who are involved in community service. Finally, voluntary work helps teens gain new skills which are necessary for the job market such as leadership, communication skills, dependability, time management, and decision making.
