    There are many bad people, but there are also a lot of good people in the world.They like to be helpful.They don’t want to vacation.They don’t like money.Their hearts are very big.I don’t want to be a character in this text because people are ungrateful.They don’t respect to volunteer.I think this is very rude behavior.The author is very humanitarian person.He wrote good things, but he didn’t write any bad things.He exaggerates good things in this text.If I were the author, I would like to tell everything.

  4. First of all,volunteer vacation is the best vacation ever.Generally,many people use their vacation times for relaxing or spending good time.I think volunteer vacation is a good way to spend time.Everybody must be volunteer.
    First text is 'Volunteer Vacations'.This text is about many volunteer organizations.Text gives many informations about how to help other people.We can take part in these organizations.Such as building homes for the poor and helping their educations.These are very helpful organizations.Everybody deserves good life.
    Second text is 'Who Volunteers'.This is about kinds of volunteers.This reading text made me realize that all kinds of people can be volunteer.If they want,they can take part in volunteer organizations.Everybody can do something for other people.They can also improve themselves by helping other people.

  5. Basically volunteering is the act of individual working for other people.
    Volunteers have their own reason for helping others. Because they are not paid. Volunteer work may include reading for the disabled people caring for the older people raising money to reduce poverty coaching a team planting trees..
    Volunteer work can take many forms and most of the individuals are interested in volunteering. Some of the people are trained in this field. They choose to work in such as first aid medicine education. Volunteer work is available in such places as hospitals, schools, homes for elderly. Volunteer work may not be paid but it profits the individual and to community. It can also bring social change.
    There are many organisations about the volunteers all around the world. The importance of these organizations must have been understood.
    There are organizations in Turkey also. I want to mention 'LÖSEV'. This organization works for the sick people. They do not get money but they are profitted. There are many people who work in this organization for the sick people. They find hospitals medicines for these sick people. There are many sick people who live because of this organiztion.

    In this century the significance of the volunteer work must be understood. Because it has many influences on social. life.

  6. We read two texts last week.These texts concerned 'Volunteers and their life'.Their life is interesting other people.Many people vacation ly seaside,climb muntain,spend time with family etc....But next to them volunteers helped poor people,disabled people,old people,patient etc.This people don't earn money even pay airfare and pay to stay at the hotel at vacation. This reading texts reminded me of: I and classmates visited old people nursing home when I was 11.The visit was very nice to me, because they need to be a lover.I was very touched.My favourite part of this text:Volunteers construct small houses for homeless man and poor people.This part very enjoyable because I like to construct a small thing for example do tent,do sun blind etc.Maybe I am going to volunteer in the future. The characters in the reading passage seem realistic because they are in society.Finally two texts are very didactic and I like to read two texts.

  7. volunteer vacations
    Volunteers say holiday happiness to one's mind is good. Efforts to help people in need of volunteers for various reasons. Some are for fun, some of them are willing to relax some of them for their connection with God. Anyone who joins this team of young people, aid to the elderly. Homeless people are building home-school children without school. Found in the material and spiritual assistance. In our country there are thousands of people in need of assistance, especially in the Van after the earthquake, thousands of people lost their homes their families lost their children without the volunteers we can not reach without the happy ending, so we'll never laky for people in need of assistance should set out all their hearts.
