(Lắng nghe và đọc.)

Who needs your help?

Quan: Hi, Hieu. I called you yesterday afternoon, but you didn't answer.

Hieu: Oh, really? What time?

Quan: At about 2 p.m. What were you doing then?

Hieu: Oh, when you called, I was working. I volunteer every Tuesday afternoon at the Happy Mind Charity Centre. I teach children.

Quan: Really? Why?

Hieu: Because these children are disadvantaged. They have many problems and they need our help.

Quan: What subjects do you teach them?

Hieu: Vietnamese and Maths.

Quan: It sounds interesting. How did you get the job?

Hieu: Just by chance. I was interested in doing volunteer work, so when I saw the advertisement for volunteer positions in the newspaper last summer, I applied and was chosen.

Quan: Oh, I see. Was the job easy at first?

Hieu: Not really. When I worked with them for the first time, many of them couldn't read or write. Some of them were hopeless at Maths!

Quan: What did you do then?

Hieu: I got some useful advice from my teacher. It was really helpful. All of the children can read and write now.

Quan: Your job is very meaningful. I also want to do something useful for our society.

Hieu: Well, if you are interested in this kind of work, I will introduce you to my team leader.

Quan: That sounds great! Thanks for your suggestion! I'm very excited!
