C. READING
X Read the passage and circle T (true) or F (false).

Community service is very important in social life. As you know, our social life has both
the rich and the poor people. So it is necessary for us to take part in volunteer activities to
help poor people and elderly people. We can help them in various ways. Firstly, it is easy for
us to collect old clothes which we don‟t need. Besides, we can join volunteer activities to
raise funds for the poor and the homeless in our country. Finally, we can spend time talking
with older people, sharing with poor children. Through these activities, we can develop our
leadership skill by organizing fund raising, providing food as well.
