Well, it's actually not a popular type of hobbies, but in my free time, I like doing origami. You mean creating things from paper? Yes. That's exactly what I do, folding paper. How long have you been doing it? Well, it all started 2 years ago on my trip to Japan. I watched some origami artists folding some paper animals, and I liked it. What do you enjoy about it? It's easy, inexpensive, and great to share with others. What do you do with the stuff you made? I give some to my friends as birthday gifts and sell some to get money. Now listen again. Hi, Jack.

Listen to Mai, a student talking about the volunteer work she did at lower secondary school. Fill each of the gaps with one suitable word. You will listen twice. Now listen and fill the gaps. Our club had many action programs to help other children. I remember when we were at grade 6, we cleaned the streets around the school every month and did the gardening in the school. Each semester, we contributed the old textbooks or clothes to our school. Our teachers packed them up and sent them to rural villages in the north. Children there do not have enough textbooks and clothes. By the end of grade 7, we went to SOS Children Village. We took new notebooks, pens, and pencils to donate to friends here. They were very moved about that. Then, when I was at grade 8, the school had a new movement. We tried to help teach English to children in two villages in Ninh Binh for a month. Now listen again.
