___Sounds like great work. What did you donate exactly? ___Thanks. My parents also encouraged me to do that. I hope my books and clothes could help the needy. ___Do you know much about volunteer work, Lydia? ___My old books and clothes. I didn't use them any more, so I asked my parents to give them to someone else.They agreed. ___You are very kind, and you did the right things. Your parents must be very proud of you. ___Oh, yes, I can. Doing volunteer work means you do for the benefits of others, and you may not get paid. For example, you join a programme or an organisation, and you go to help the poor, the elderly, the disabled... ___No, I don't. I don't know much about volunteer work. Can you explain it? ___Yes, I do. ___I see. I didn't join any programme, but I donated items some months ago. ___Absolutely, they could. There are always people who need our help out there. Do you think so?
