2. a) Read the text and say which projects all these young people have been involved in.

Going to school, socialising, and managing music playlists just isn't enough for some young people. In addition to their already busy schedules these people decided to make activism the top priority on their “to do” lists. They want their voices heard in community. They get involved into educating people, social work, research, nature protection, give their helping hand to those who need help in hope to make the world better. Here are several true stories which show how much one can do irrespective of age.

Sophia, age 17, California.

Sophia created the Seedling Project, a farm-to-school initiative at her school that is built around an edible garden. The garden provides vegetables for her school cafeteria and the Los Angeles community. She teaches students about agriculture, and sustainability. She created an online forum where people across the country can share school-based gardening and nutrition projects. Sophia and her team plant vegetables four times each year, and continually harvest produce for the school's cafeteria. She has organised a cooking class for students.

Jackson, age 14, Hawaii.

Jackson founded Dream of a Better World, a non-profit group that has raised over $105,000 to help children in need around the world, including 57 children living at an orphanage in Uganda. The funds have allowed the orphanage to realise its longstanding dream of building a permanent home for the children. The funds have also purchased a van that is used to transport the children to and from school and doctors' appointments.

Zachary, age 16, New Jersey.

Zach co-founded SNAP, Special Needs Athletic and Awareness Programmes, a non-profit organisation designed to improve the athletic and social abilities of special needs children through sports clinics and educational programmes, while also raising awareness in the community. SNAP provides free or low-cost programmes five days a week for over 150 special needs families, giving children the chance to play basketball, soccer, and baseball, as well as participate in swimming, music and art. Over the past six years, Zach has raised more than $70,000 for the programmes and has inspired over 450 middle- and high-school students to volunteer for it.

Darius Weems, age 15.

Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an illness that Darius Weems has lived with since he was five years old. Diagnosed as a young kid after losing his brother to the same illness, Weems is determined to raise awareness and help fund research for a cure. In 2006, family friend Logan Smalley filmed the documentary “Darius Goes West: The Roll of His Life”. The documentary was a tremendous success and sales of the DVD have raised over $1.5 million for DMD research. Weems constantly tries to motivate and inspire young people through educational programmes. As a rapper, Weems released his first album “My Life in This Chair” late 2012 and continues to speak to young audiences across the country.

Ashley Funk, age 17, Pennsylvania.

Ashley is the founder of Pollution Patrol, a volunteer at the local care home and she loves to sing with her friends around campfires. Ashley is asking our leaders to recognise that environmental destruction is the destruction of human health and in turn realise that we have the potential for change. Ashley has done extensive research in preparation for a career as an environmental engineer and is convinced that there are technologies to improve ecology. She willingly shares her findings with other young people and adults.

Ответ:

2 a)

b) The story of Zachary impressed me the most. He co-founded a non-profit organization that provides free or low-cost athletic and social programmes for children with special needs. It's impressive because it not only gives these children opportunities to participate in various activities but also raises awareness in the community and inspires other students to volunteer.

c) Sophia's The Seedling Project seems most appealing because it's practical and has visible benefits for both students and the school. To start a similar project, we could first talk to our school's principal or a science teacher to get their support. Then, we could identify a small, unused plot of land on school grounds. We could start by fundraising for seeds and basic gardening tools or asking for donations from the local community. Finally, we could form a small club of interested students to share the work of planting and caring for the garden.

b) Больше всего меня впечатлила история Захари. Он стал соучредителем некоммерческой организации, которая предоставляет бесплатные или недорогие спортивные и социальные программы для детей с особыми потребностями. Это впечатляет, потому что это не только дает этим детям возможность участвовать в различных мероприятиях, но также повышает осведомленность в обществе и вдохновляет других студентов заниматься волонтерством.

c) Проект Софии «Росток» кажется наиболее привлекательным, потому что он практичен и приносит видимую пользу как ученикам, так и школе. Чтобы запустить подобный проект, мы могли бы сначала поговорить с директором нашей школы или учителем естествознания, чтобы заручиться их поддержкой. Затем мы могли бы найти небольшой, неиспользуемый участок земли на территории школы. Мы могли бы начать со сбора средств на семена и основные садовые инструменты или попросить пожертвования у местного сообщества. Наконец, мы могли бы создать небольшой клуб из заинтересованных учеников, чтобы разделить работу по посадке и уходу за садом.
