TOPIC 3. COMMUNITY SERVICE

A/ READING TEXT

Community service is a voluntary activity that helps improve our communities. Many people, including students, take part in these projects to make a positive difference. Activities can include cleaning parks, helping at animal shelters, or visiting elderly people in nursing homes.

For example, Emma volunteers at the animal shelter every Saturday. She feeds the animals, cleans their cages, and plays with them. This work helps the animals and makes Emma feel happy and fulfilled. Similarly, Jake and his classmates organize park clean-ups, picking up trash, planting trees, and making the park nicer for everyone.

Community service teaches important lessons like empathy, responsibility, and teamwork. It helps people connect with others and make new friends. By helping others, individuals can improve their surroundings and feel proud of their contributions.
