4. Read descriptions for two volunteer opportunities. Choose the one that you would prefer. Explain your choice. Compare your ideas with your partners.

What: Nature and Wildlife Caretaker

Where: North Queensland, Australia

Volunteer now and get the chance to learn more about Australia’s indigenous culture and to work with experienced and highly trained wildlife keepers!

Take a trip to Australia to care for the country’s native wildlife in a nature park in a tropical forest. The sanctuary¹ focuses on Australia’s wildlife, including mammals, reptiles and birds.

The work can be physically demanding and is not an “easy holiday option”. Your duties will include koala leaf collection and distribution, preparing food for wildlife, general maintenance and an amazing opportunity to volunteer at a butterfly sanctuary. Meet other volunteers from around the world and make a great contribution toward protecting wildlife and their environment.

Requirements:

• NO SMOKING is allowed at the project;

• Strong work ethics are required: you must be reliable, responsible, honest, physically and mentally fit;

• No animal allergies;

• You will have to cope with extreme weather (heat and cold) especially the heat in the summer;

• Love for animals and some general experience of caring for an animal is a must;

• Good knowledge of English.

¹ sanctuary ['sænktſuərɪ] – приют, заповедник

What: Visitor Guide

Where: Edinburgh, Scotland

St Giles’ Cathedral is a site of significant spiritual, historical and architectural interest. Each year it attracts over 1,000,000 visitors, drawn from many nationalities, age groups and walks of life. Our volunteer guides are the first point of contact for most visitors and play a crucial role in ensuring the quality of their experience.

Requirements:

• Friendly, welcoming, helpful;

• Good communication skills;

• Ability to convey your knowledge, interest and enthusiasm to others;

• Good knowledge of English;

• Ability to speak a foreign language would be advantageous, but not necessary.

Training Details:

Volunteers receive ongoing training in the history and architecture of the Cathedral. Support is provided by fellow volunteers and by the Visitor Service Manager.

4. Прочитайте описания двух волонтерских вакансий. Выберите ту, которую вы бы предпочли. Объясните свой выбор. Сравните свои идеи с партнерами.

Ответ:

I would prefer the Nature and Wildlife Caretaker opportunity in Australia. This choice is driven by my deep love for animals and the great outdoors. The prospect of working hands-on with unique Australian wildlife like koalas in a tropical sanctuary is incredibly appealing. I am not afraid of physically demanding work and enjoy being active. Moreover, the opportunity to learn about indigenous culture and make a real contribution to wildlife conservation makes this role more meaningful to me than being a visitor guide.

Перевод:

Я бы предпочел(-ла) вакансию смотрителя за природой и дикими животными в Австралии. Этот выбор обусловлен моей глубокой любовью к животным и природе. Перспектива практической работы с уникальными австралийскими дикими животными, такими как коалы, в тропическом заповеднике невероятно привлекательна. Я не боюсь физически тяжелой работы и люблю быть активным(-ой). Кроме того, возможность узнать о культуре коренных народов и внести реальный вклад в сохранение дикой природы делает эту роль для меня более значимой, чем работа гидом для посетителей.
