Read the passage below and choose the correct answer for each question.
Organic Farming : the new vacation.
In 1971, Sue worked as a secretary in London. While she enjoyed the city life, sue also
missed the countryside where she spent most of her time as a child. So she offered to help
out on a farm, or more specially, an organic farming program organized by a nearby college.
She got a few people to volunteer as well, and they spent the weekend doing “ housework”,
which involved clearing bushes and cleaning rains. Afterwards, the farm managers said they
could come back anytime to help out.
Sue put a small ad in a magazine, offering people the chance to volunteer at the organic
farm. The volunteer program grew quickly, and soon other organic farmers joined in, asking
people for helping out. With so many people and farms involved, someone needed to
organize the different groups. A few of the original volunteers started WWOOF(world Wide
opportunities on Organic Farms) to help volunteers and farmers find one another. Today, at
least 50 different countries have WWOOF organizations, and many other countries have
individual farms that participate in the movement.
While WWOOF is still a weekend activity for some, it now welcomes travelers and people
who wish to live and work on farms for longer periods of time. WWOOF volunteers can stay
on a farm for weeks or even months at a time in exchange for hands –on farming and

gardening experience. The work can be exhausting., but volunteers think it’s worth it. By
working on farms, the volunteers interact with farmer and develop a love for the outdoors
and organic farming. Many travelers now use WWOOF
