2. Volunteering can provide teenagers with opportunities to learn new skills and gain experience in areas that interest them.

For example, a teenager who volunteers at a local library may develop strong research and organizational skills, while a teenager who volunteers at an animal shelter may gain experience in animal care and behavior.

Task 3 (Advanced level):

Write a paragraph discussing a time when you volunteered and what you learned from the experience.

How did it impact you personally, and what skills did you gain?

Sample answer:

Last summer, I volunteered at a local food bank for several weeks. It was an eye-opening experience, as I had never realized how many families in my community struggle with food insecurity. By working alongside other volunteers, I developed stronger teamwork and communication skills, as we all had to work together efficiently to sort and distribute food to those in need.
