III. Reading
Read the passage and answer the following questions.
More and more young people are doing voluntary work abroad. The
wide variety of jobs and destinations available is making it an increasingly
attractive option for those who have just left school and have a year free before
university. Many choose to spend these twelve months working in poor countries.

There they will earn little or no money, but they will be doing something useful
and enjoying the experience.
The working may consist of helping local communities, for example by
helping to build new roads or provide water supplies to isolated rural villages.
Other projects may concentrate more on conservation and environmental
protection. Whatever kind of job it is, though, it is certain to be challenging and
worthwhile, and an experience that will never be forgotten.
