People first used the word ‘volunteer’ in 1795, but in England, there were at least 500 volunteer hospitals long before that. The YMCA in London became the first volunteering organization in 1844. It provided help to needy people and held classes to help people develop skills. The Red Cross became the first international charity organization in 1863. Volunteer work is becoming more and more popular in the world. For example, in the USA, about one-fifth of the population does volunteer work. In Europe, thousands of volunteer programmes are run in different countries.  Everyone can do volunteer work to help their community. Volunteer activities include donating food and clothes, joining clean-up projects, tutoring children, protecting wild animals, etc. Volunteers work not for money but to help people in need and to connect with others.

(Đọc đoạn văn và trả lời các câu hỏi bằng cách khoanh tròn A, B hoặc C.)

Choosing to volunteer takes up some of your time. Some people say that they do not have time to help others, so they don’t volunteer. But scientists say giving time to help others benefits us. The first benefit of volunteering is that it helps us learn to be flexible. Volunteers have to be ready for changes and stay flexible when solving problems. Second, volunteering can improve our health because it requires us to be active. A report found that Americans who volunteer 100 hours or more a year are the healthiest people in the country. Third, volunteers have opportunities to develop more relationships. They often work in teams, and team members get to know each other and sometimes even become friends. Moreover, volunteers often help needy people, so they may feel thankful for what they have. For these reasons, volunteers are generally positive and are less likely to become depressed. So if you have not joined a volunteer activity yet, think about it. You are likely to benefit from doing so.
