Every
year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year
off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other
countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people.
For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful
for the environment.
Pauline
Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to
study Chinese, but now she's living in Belize. Pauline says, "I'm working
with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁)
in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is
very polluted, the coral dies. I'm helping to do research(研究)on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the
world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before
it's too late."
"I'm
staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don't get any money,
but that's OK. I love my work here, and I'm learning a lot about the people of
Belize—and myself!
When
I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to
travel around Belize and Central America."
