Exercise 5: Read the passage and answer the questions

We send young people of different nationalities on expeditions around the world. Our

volunteers get the chance to work with local people to learn about different cultures.

There are ten expeditions every year. Each expedition lasts for ten weeks and takes 150

volunteers. They go to countries such as Chile, Namibia, Mongolia and Viet Nam. Some

of our volunteers work with local people to provide facilities, for example, building

schools. Others work in national parks or help scientists to do environmental research.

These adventurous, young people come from all over the world. To become a volunteer,

you have to be between 17 and 25; you have to speak some English and you also have to

be enthusiastic, flexible and hard-working members of a team.
